As a business owner, would you like to prevent "SNAFU" (“situation normal, all fouled up”), lower your stress levels, make more money, get government regulators off your back, easily handle the red tape, and even land more tenders for your company?

Want to find out more?  That is what my simple and effective systems training is all about.

Around 20 years ago I was a research marine biologist but my husband had an entrepreneurial spasm!  Oh boy!  No business understanding, bought himself a job!  Basically this was using my money so I got dragged in and discovered that I loved business.

Like so many small business people we worked so close to round the clock.

It could not go on like that so I implemented a quality management system and Wow! This revolutionized our lives. We grew to a $5 million turnover and 17 staff after I put in the system.

We got our life back, had weekends and holidays and the muck-ups stopped happening!

Since then, my business purpose is to help other businesses discover how systems can give you your life back

Articles

A very different article this week!

Combine the environment, the music industry and a friend of mine, John McCarthy or Johnnie Mac and I think this is a fascinating story.

John is horticulturalist who has been involved in the development of the native foods industry since 1985.  Many within the industry consider him a ‘pioneer’, particularly through his work on the propagation and cultivation of native food and medicinal species.  

So now we learn the mysteries of getting a hit CD!  What happens is that as many people as possible buy the CD ON THE SAME DAY then the numbers skyrocket and a Hit is Born.    Bizarre but true.  The CD will cost you $20, remember 25% of the proceeds to planting and caring for trees at Ganngjalah and because lots of leading business and personal development experts have donated downloadable gift you will get a value of over $5,000.  I donated a digital version of my book “Reduce your Carbon Footprint”

Simply click this link early Thursday and buy your CD and you will get the download and your CD.

Chooks being a major drama

In this day and age of loud exhausts, almost every house in suburbia having a blower vac and a petrol driven mower, not to mention the neighbourhood kids music, I think this story about two pet roosters belonging to a sick 13 year old child quite crazy.  When petrol driven motors are acceptable and birds are not there is a serious problem with society.

For two years Scotland’s legal system fought over two pet roosters that were left facing the chop after property manager Alex Panayotti lost his long legal battle to fight for the right of his daughter Stella to keep the rowdy birds in the back garden of their home after neighbours complained the noise they made was “unbearable”.

p.s. Most  of my readers tell me this newsletter is a great way of getting up to date information easily but if you are really snowed under by lots of emails from other sources you can chose to keep in touch by emailling jean@enviroaction.com.au and go onto the monthly list.
