Global Business Camp – It’s a Wrap!

The 2015 Global Business Camp held on the Gold Coast wrapped up a couple of weeks ago leaving myself and my clients motivated and on the path to greater success. The feedback received was tremendous and next year’s business camp will be bigger and better.

Here is some of the feedback I received from my clients who participated with me.

Dear Justin
Just a quick note to let you know how much I appreciated the seminar. The topics presented and the depth of information provided was second to none. I now have the direction and information I have been looking for for so long. The benefits I will get from this information will give me the next 5-10 year business plan and understanding of where, why, how and what I need to do to succeed and grow not only by business but also understand my staff members. I look forward in working with you over the next couple of months to implement these strategies and bring my ideas I have for my business to fruition.

Yours Sincerely, Dave – Toowoomba Bearings and Hyrdraulics Pty Ltd

After completing the March 2015 Global Business Camp held at the Gold Coast, I felt the need to commit in writing my personal thank you.
As a SME owner I now know that I am facing all the normal challenges businesses go through.
000PC was invited personally by Justin Searle to attend and my team ensured the money was available for the camp making our attendance possible.
I could not imagine paying an hourly rate to ensure exclusive access to yourself for 3 days and 3 nights answering all the questions I asked you. With exclusive access in mind the value for money was already justified.
The camp was fantastic. The networking was fantastic. The entire event was empowering with so much knowledge in one room.

Thank you for selecting 000PC PTY LTD to attend the business camp with yourself.

Thank you for not sending me a bill for 3 days and nights exclusivity with yourself and your knowledge.
I personally and professionally recommend this camp for all SMEs that are real about ensuring the future success of their company.
With your guidance and the business strategies from the camp 000PC PTY LTD has a crystal clear understanding of what is required to be successful.

More importantly I understand the business I founded more with a clear understanding of what it is that our team is really selling with business values, business goals and business strategies.

Paul – 000PC Pty Ltd

Working with Justin at GBC for 3 days gave me a great opportunity to focus on my business. Working through the exercises of the 6 Secrets of Business has helped get me focused on the right things to help me grow my business. It’s been a great value added experience that Justin has provided us with. I’d certainly recommend other business owners going through this process.

Autumn Tax Tips: Make the Most of the Final Weeks Before Year-End

By Caroline Gillies • May 25, 2025
As we step into the final week of autumn and feel winter’s chill approaching, it’s a natural time for reflection—and that includes taking stock of your financial and tax situation. The end of the year is closer than it seems, and a bit of preparation now can make a significant difference come tax season. Here are a few things to consider as the leaves fall: 1. Review Your Income and Deductions This is a good moment to check your income year-to-date and consider whether there are any deductions you can still take advantage of. Charitable donations or investment losses might help reduce your taxable income before year-end. 2. Maximise Super Concessional Contributions If you haven’t yet maxed out your superannuation concessional contributions, there’s still time. Remember unused cap amounts carry forward for 5 years and the 2019-20 unused cap amount will expire 30 June 2025. These contributions not only help secure your future but can also offer tax benefits now. 3. Organise Your Records Autumn’s slower pace is perfect for pulling together receipts, invoices, and financial documents. Getting organised now means less stress later when tax season begins in earnest. 4. Consider Tax-Loss Harvesting If you’ve had investments that underperformed, selling them before the end of the year to offset gains can be a strategic move. Consult with us today to see if this makes sense for you. 5. Plan Ahead Winter may bring holidays and downtime, but it's also a good window to consult with a tax professional. A quick meeting before year-end can reveal savings opportunities or help avoid surprises when you file. So, as the days grow shorter and frost begins to settle in, use this time to bring clarity and warmth to your finances.
