It’s human nature to focus on looking forward but before closing for Christmas why not trying something different? I want you to reflect on the year passed and I would love to know what your goals were and how many of them you achieved.

When working with our business clients (after completing their tax returns of course!) we look forward and discuss the matters that are keeping them awake at night, or things they want to change in their business. Of course the old age problem of time comes into play but I believe there is never enough time spent of reflecting on where you were at this time last year.

Already a lot of our clients are booked in next year to do their Annual Planning Session in January/February. A key component of this session is reflection and I can’t stress enough how important this session is to all business owners!

My reflection time is always July (the start of every accountant’s year!) and one of my goals this year was to play a top 100 rated Golf Course in Australia before June 2015. I ticked that box earlier in the year by playing at Barnbougle Dunes and Lost Farms golf course with my father and brother in law. We had a fantastic week…unfortunately not great golf but it is a tick for me!

It’s important when thinking about how hard we work in (note..this should be ON) our business’s and jobs, to highlight the results and benefits on why we worked so hard during the year.

On a personal note I wanted to thank you all for your support over the past year, including the transition into the new business and I look forward to working with you again next year.
