How to have a big impact with a small business
EPISODE 75
Notes
I recently won the Bookkeeper of the Year Award at The Accountants Daily Australian Accounting Awards, which is an achievement I feel extremely proud of and humbled by. Following the ceremony, I started to reflect on my award journey and why I believe small businesses can have a big impact.
In this episode, I share some of my insights following my recent reflections, including the power of vision boards and goal setting. Winning Bookkeeper of the Year was on my vision board this year, for both personal achievement goals and good PR for my business and I have been amazed at the things I’ve achieved already this year. I am a big believer in the fact that life rewards participation.
Another insight I talk about is the importance of social responsibility and innovation and why this is the key to staying relevant and ensuring longevity in your industry. I talk about the need to prioritise purpose and integrity in business and why a small business doing the right thing is worth a thousand times more than a big business doing the wrong thing.
I also talk about the value of paving your own unique way and not comparing yourself to other businesses. This has been a really important part of my business journey, ensuring that I keep focusing on my vision, knowing that I am here to make a big impact.
No matter where you’re at in your business, you can make a big impact through the way you do business and the values and integrity that underpin everything you do each day. I hope you find some golden nuggets in these reflections today and that this episode inspires you to think about the impact you want to make.
