19 attendees today including 3 visitors.
Our first speaker today was Lachlan from Core Computers, a guest speaker. His business is a family business based at Albany Creek. They concentrate on sales, service and solutions. They test all products before they sell them. They have monthly specials that come from their suppliers. They are competitive with the larger computer outlets.
Lachlan can assist you with building your own desktop computer, wireless networks and security for your network. They have three technicians who can come out on site. They are able to offer Flexirent as a means of financing your computer needs. Laptops are becoming much cheaper as little as $1600. Thank you Lachlan for an informative presentation.
David Pratt talked about working smart and suggested business owners consider opening a cash management account for surplus funds. These provide higher interest rates and David has clients who in fact reward themselves with their interest by treating themselves to holidays. He also referred us to a website that reviews various consumer finance products go to www.cannex.com.au. This can be a useful tool as well as having some other useful links from the site.

Speakers today Madeleine and Tom
Madeleine talked of keeping control of your life. She often sees people become prisoners in their own homes. Some people fear they will lose their memories but really they lose their future. Clinging onto your home may not be the best. Bricks and mortar do not make a home people do.
If you don't plan for your future someone will have to do it for you. We need to overcome the Eventide mentality.
Tom shared with us his round the world trip of last year. They booked some accommodation as they went using a laptop. They travelled eastward to New Zealand then on to Chile. A very interesting place for food and wine. Visited Reno and in Miami hired a Mustang convertible to see the sights. While in New York they attended the Broadway production of Hairspray. From there they travelled to Montréal, Stockholme, took a Europass and went onto Rome before completing the trip returning to Brisbane via Perth.
In summary a very busy trip but Tom recommended anyone having a go.
Leads: 8 internal, 4 external.
Madeleine has recently attended a seminar in Sydney from which she got a promotional concept she is looking to implement. She will speak to members individually about the promotion.

16 members and 1 visitor welcolme Sydney.
Speakers Julia and Shane.
Julia reports she has been in Nutrametics for 32 years having started in Mt Isa. She told us of a product for people with sensitive skin known as the Platinum Bag. A special skin treatment which comes with a moneyback guarantee. Julia has reached great levels within that the Nutrametics company such that they provide her motor vehicle and in the past many overseas trips.
Shane shared with us common problems he observed in small businesses in running their office. He often comes in after the event and the business of them has more expense to fix the problem that has arisen. He recommends training staff before they get into the problem.
Shane notes that 80 per cent of what he is doing requires his accounting knowledge. There was a smaller reliance on software.
Be aware of your GST status when receiving cash as is often results in a problem.
Inexperienced staff entering data results in going backwards. He recommends getting staff claimed and then having someone such as himself occasionally check the work.
Speakers next week will be Dave Williams and Madeleine Hicks.
