On Friday, while talking with my business coach, Andrew, I had an aha moment. Over the weekend I had another aha moment and this morning, it happened again.
Firstly, Andrew reminded me that my time is important and that when client’s keep me waiting for 20 minutes or more for a meeting, they’re not respecting my time. Next, I realised that what I thought was ‘networking’ isn’t actually correct and I’m now re-evaluating my thinking. And finally, upon waking this morning, I knew I wanted to make an impact but wasn’t sure how to do it until the 29 Gift Giving Challenge popped up on my Facebook personal page.
The challenge isn’t new to me, I’ve actually completed the challenge for the last two years but this year I’m going to record my giving – not for recognition or for fame, more for my own personal journey. Giving feels good and when you consciously give, you become more aware of living in the now, not the future or the past.
You can hear more about the founder of the movement, Cami Walker’s journey on this YouTube video:-
So why am I tell you this? Because my first day of giving is a give away! I‘m going to give away a F.R.E.E profile image on a Facebook Business Page.
I’m not going to put any conditions around this. At 3:00pm (my time) I will pick a number between 1 and the number of likers on my business page, and whoever is that liker, based on counting, will be the person to receive my gift.
My aim is to give every day throughout my life. If you’d like to follow my giving challenge, I’ll be sharing my journey on my profile.

We have provided a range of services her businesses. We’ve created an online store, blog, Facebook business page custom tab and teaser store for The Spotty Napkin; Facebook business page custom tab and teaser store for Preloved Kidswear and are currently working on a website for her husband’s business, Joheli Designs. We really appreciate Liz’s business, feedback and referrals.
I have utilised Bauhinia Solutions to create a new website for The Spotty Napkin and found their work to be of a very high standard, resulting in lots of positive comments regarding my new look. Nicole in particular is a pleasure to deal with and very patient with my barrage of questions that flowed throughout the process. Nothing was ever too much trouble and I didn’t feel like a complete idiot with my lack of technical knowledge. The process was smooth, within budget and time frames.
We were so impressed with the results that we have commissioned the team to construct another site for one of our other businesses. Nicole has previously created a Facebook Welcome Page for me and undertaken some administrative type work as well.
I regularly refer people to Nicole and Bauhinia Solutions as it is not often that you find a business with ethics and work standards this high.
As many small business owners know or will eventually come to realise, there is one word that features prominently in their vocabulary – and that word is “outsourcing”. Unless you feel the need to be tied down to your business 24/7, outsourcing at least part of your workload is essential to allow your business to thrive.
It’s no surprise that a large percentage of start-up businesses fail to succeed in the first year and although many businesses may make it to the second or third year mark (approximately 60%), their profit and loss statement will certainly show the scars from the uphill battle they fought just to make it that far. read more

Janna: We aim to reduce stress for the so called ‘small fry’, mainly from a tax perspective. Tax is a difficult subject for most business owners. We aim to make tax fun, bearable and a benefit to each taxpayer as opposed to a burden.
