By Jim Huse Reviewed by Cathy Parker In 2010 we reviewed Jim’s book “Revolutionise the way you work”. from which we took a number of valuable tips. Huse has a background in sales, psychology and business improvement and has now published this companion title. A key point he makes in the foreword of the book is that “Selling and influencing is part of our everyday lives – not just something sales people do at work. We all have requirements we want fulfilled be they food, shelter, a new boat or a night out. Communicating these requirements to other parties in a meaningful way so that they supply them to you is Selling and influencing”. So yes this is a
How hard-hit Kiwi businesses have triumphed during the worst global pandemic and economic downturn in living memory. We report on the stories and lessons of four now-thriving survivors. By editor Glenn Baker. When New Zealand’s nationwide lockdown kicked in on March 25th, 2020, there was an air of ‘pinch ourselves’ disbelief among the nation’s business owners. How did we end up here? What does the future look like now? Angst and uncertainty was almost palpable. The adjective ‘unprecedented’ quickly became the word of choice to describe what was happening around us. Across New Zealand business plans were hastily recalibrated. We all entered unchartered territory – in desperation the nation turned its collective eyes toward Jacinda Ardern’s government for relief.
2021 delivers a raft of new finance and tax issues for business owners to get to grips with. Gofi8ure’s Lisa Martin provides some clarity and advice to help you stay on top of your business finances. It’s no secret we’d all rather forget 2020. The pandemic not only had a significant impact on the viability and finances of New Zealand’s businesses, but many business owners also struggled to get their head around various new tax and compliance requirements. 2021 presents another unique set of potential money and tax-related stumbling blocks, and GoFi8ure’s Lisa Martin believes the key to dealing with them lies in mastering the four functions of management – namely planning, leadership, organisation and control. Most people bring core
Read how iPayroll helps employers and business owners stay compliant with their PAYE payment and filing obligations. It has always been important for businesses to manage their incoming and outgoing payments on time. The task of regularly checking bank statements can be tedious, but for some businesses is a necessary task to ensure sufficient funds are available to comply with their many financial obligations, not the least of which is their PAYE payment obligations to Inland Revenue (IR). PAYE, KiwiSaver deductions and contributions, student loans and child support are essential deductions from employees’ wages each and every payday. These employee deductions are held in the business’s bank accounts, to be transferred to the Inland Revenue (IR) in time to meet
The story behind Wellington’s Alamir Bakery is one of dedication to tradition, to an amazing bond that stretches back to the Middle East, and a shared family love for the business. You may not be familiar with the name Alamir Bakery, but Wellingtonians have been loving its pita breads and chips, hummus and falafel bites for 27 years. Today its Delicious Lebanese Snack Company products can be found at 100-plus Foodstuff supermarkets, 100-plus Countdowns and more than 100 restaurants, cafes and other retailers throughout the country. Clients include all Pita Pit stores, with the exception of Auckland (they’re currently working on that!) But it’s the back story behind the brand that truly captures the imagination – a story that began
