Read MoreSometimes we can feel like we’re running around chasing our own tails. We start our work days trying to get a handle on all the emails, the schedule and team queries. It can feel like we’ve started the day in a very reactive mode. There can be a number of reasons why we’re feeling reactive instead of proactive, but one of the biggest issues that we can have as small business owners is a lack of organisation.

Read MoreAt this time of year, I always take the time to pause and reflect on what has been. Is business everything I thought it would be? Have things gone according to plan? We place so much focus on success and achieving our goals that often when things don’t go how we hoped they would, we perceive this as failure. But the truth is, failure is not the opposite of success. Failure is a vital part of success.
