Business Alert at 9:00am With CVA – Get Up Earlier.

Clear Vision • February 13, 2019

Want to be more productive? Get up earlier.

Getting up early is one routine that many successful people have in common. There’s a sense of control acquired from beating the inner voice and once beaten there seems to be no end to the benefits.

It doesn’t matter what time the alarm goes off, that inner voice calls out for more sleep but here’s a scary thought for you; if you were to get up just 1 hour earlier each morning, you would gain 15 days in a year – 15 days, that’s half a month….

Early risers are one step ahead of the crowd. They’re calm, collected, and they’ve already accomplished so much more than the person rushing to the office. They have time to fit in that 30 minutes of exercise we all promise ourselves we’ll do, their ‘to do’ list is written, they’re organised and because of this, they’re already winning at work.

We only need six to seven hours of sleep a night. It might take a while to get used to but if you are in charge of your inner voice, there will be no stopping you.

15 more days a year…. that’s a lot of extra time.

12% Superannuation Guarantee - 1 July 2025

By Caroline Gillies • June 22, 2025
From 1 July 2025, the Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rate in Australia will increase to 12%. This means employers will be legally required to contribute at least 12% of an eligible employee's ordinary time earnings to their superannuation fund. This increase is the final step in a legislated rise from 9.5% in 2021 to 12% by 2025, aimed at boosting retirement savings for Australian workers. If you use Xero for payroll, the SG rate should automatically update in the system. However, we recommend you double-check your payroll settings to ensure everything is correct. If you’re unsure or need assistance, please contact your bookkeeper or get in touch with us at: Clear Vision Accountancy Group (07) 4688 2500 We’re here to help you stay compliant and avoid any costly errors.
