Hi
Friend
The first decorations are up in the
shops which means we are on the run
down to Christmas! This issue
is a holiday themed
issue.
We start by looking at the things
your business needs to do right now
to not be caught out at the end of
the year.
We then look at the issue of staff
taking holidays and some ways to make
the dreaded request for holidays a
bit easier.
Our business of the week is a tour
company I discovered in a small
country town in outback NSW - it has
some great lessons for other small
businesses in small
towns.

WEEK
10 Things Your
Business Needs to Do Before
Christmas
The
lead up to Christmas can be hectic
for many businesses. Here's my list
of 10 things that pretty much every
business needs to think about or do
before Christmas.

EDITION
HR Tip
- The Need to Take
Holidays
Christmas is a
popular staff leave time - but how do
you manage all the competing
requests, let alone that employee in
the corner who refuses to take leave
year after year?
Business of
the Week - Black Opal
Tours
On our break away I
took a tour in a very small country
town called Lightning Ridge. This is
a mining town known for its brilliant
black opals, dust, heat and not much
else. The lessons from this tour
operator are useful for any small
town
business.
Blog Post of the Week:
When I Grow Up I Want to be a Grey
Nomad
I
love finding niches that are not
being well looked after - hence the
grey nomad post.
Have a
great week!
