Running a business is hard. Doing it with a mortgage, family and a household budget that's out of alignment? Even harder...

If mortgage rates are rocking you, you need a plan - not just for your business budget, but for your personal budget, your take-home pay.

Don't focus on the one thing you cannot control - your mortgage. Rates will always go up and down.

Put your full attention onto the things that you can manage. Build your budget. Build your buffers. Build the abundance your life deserves.

If one small rate rise sends your household into crisis, the problem isn’t the bank. It’s the lack of structure in the rest of your budget.

Small Business Support at Lot 50 Yankalilla, hosted by Andrew Mates Coaching, Your Budget Mates and Fleurieu Small Business Network.

𝐆𝐫𝐚𝐛 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐞. 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐛𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬. 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭.

Running a small business can feel isolating especially when you’re doing it solo. That’s why I’m opening up my Friday mornings.

Every second Friday, 9–11am at Lot 50 Yankalilla. No bookings. No cost (just buy yourself a coffee if you’d like one).

This is your chance to ask questions, pick my brain, and have real, practical conversations about what’s going on in your business, your sales or marketing, your back of house processes or even your finances.

Whether you’re trying to get to the next level, figure out your next move, or you’re just feeling stuck. I’m here to help you work through it.

And if things are tough right now, that’s okay too. Sometimes you just need a sounding board or someone to listen who gets it. I’m happy to listen and support you and your business success.

No pitch. No pressure. Just me being of service and giving back to my local community.

If you need help, let’s chat!

Important article from Your Budget Mates.

Australia has less than 30 days of liquid fuel reserves.

Our leaders shut down our refineries. Offshored our self-sufficiency. Handed the keys to someone else and called it economic efficiency.

And most Australians have absolutely no idea.

This is what happens when leaders outsource the hard problems instead of solving them. Dependency dressed up as strategy. And when the pressure comes (as it always comes) it becomes a crisis.

Sound familiar?

Because the same pattern plays out at your kitchen table every single week.

You outsource your financial decisions. Avoid the hard conversations. Hope someone else will sort it out.

Outsourcing creates dependency. Dependency creates fragility. Fragility creates crisis.

We are living through extraordinary times. Global conflict. Supply chain chaos. A cost of living that isn't coming back down. This is not the time to be asleep at the wheel of your own finances.

You are the leader of your household economy.

Start acting like it.

And consider… are you ready for what’s coming next?
