What a brilliant month I have had not just in business but on the home front as well. You see I have invested in a business coach due to the fact we were growing and like many successful business owners I needed someone to assist me with moving to the next level of my business!! Whoa what a ride it has been- a very exciting ride let me tell you.. Not only has this helped me to focus more on working ON my business instead of IN my business, I have now employed two new employees including a book keeper which allows me more time to spend with my kiddies.

Can you believe I am spending less time working however the times I do work are extremely productive. I have implemented a default diary, I have implemented systems in which my employees can now work with instructions instead of me explaining, what I have learnt I could go on and on..

So ask yourself whether in business or lifestyle “What do you want to achieve”? Maybe your definition of success goes beyond the numbers to include things like: more time with family, recapturing your desire for your future dreams, re-focusing your personal mission and aligning that mission with following your dream. For my definition of success; having my business coach is helping me reach even higher, accomplish much more, and lead a more balanced life in the process.

We all love success stories if you have one email it to me so I can share it in my next newsletter!!
Cheers
Stace

Your car, van, truck or ute can be the best advertising for you at all hours of the day and night. During peak traffic, in the car park, or even on a Sunday afternoon drive, vehicle signage is a smart advertising investment.

Due to the incredible response we had with our March 09 special we are offering until the end of May 09 the following: one way vision vehicle graphic printed, & installed on your back window of your vehicle for the price of $200 + GST for a standard size vehicle...

If that deal is too good to bear what about this one......

If you bring a friend to have their vehicle graphic, printed and installed at the same time not only will I get the chance to meet you face to face but I will not charge you a single cent for YOUR graphic design-that’s right a saving of approx $150 + GST...

There are many factors that influence the growth and success of a business. One of the most important is determination. Without the will to succeed, many business owners find it hard to deal with the many obstacles that litter the road to success. For the team at Signs'n'Banners in Victoria, that 'True Grit' spirit has seen a hobby grown into a vibrant business that's firing with all guns blazing.

Partners Stacey and David are the duo behind Signs'n'Banners. For David, creating signage was really a backyard business/ weekend hobby. Already friends, I approached David with the idea of turning Signs'n'Banners into a fully functioning, successful signage shop. We both agreed. “As this was just a newly established business I was excited about the challenge”. I started being involved in the business in February 2007, by September 2007, Signs'n'Banners was a 'Business Achiever' 2007 finalist in our local paper.”

David's background is in mechanical engineering. However, he later went on to study marketing, real estate and quality control. Before Signs'n'Banners, David's work experience included a diverse range of fields such as quality control, sales of capital equipment and printed goods, and working in the field of real estate.

For myself, the road that led to Signs'n'Banners' has been an incredibly hard but inspiring one. I have lived life without my mum, was abused at age nine, fell pregnant at age fifteen, had a second child at age nineteen, and at one point when my son was three and my daughter was four months old, I was homeless and sleeping on a friends floor. For me, the hard years continued as I suffered a life of domestic violence. “Now you may be thinking this is a sad and sorry story, however these are my lessons I have learnt in life that are now my gifts to give and share with others”. “I discovered my higher purpose in life and that is to help other young mums gain back their self-esteem, discover their passions in life and to take action to achieve them.” I now have four delightful children Josh 13, Tahlia 10, Jack 8 and my little bub Toby 9 weeks. My life is finally where I have visualised it to be for many years.
