Worth a watch if you haven't seen it: Scott Kuru's latest video on 40 Aussie businesses closing a day, insolvencies up 200%+ since 2022, and construction, hospitality, retail and manufacturing copping it hardest. A sobering reminder of why we need each other out here.) Watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTu-hKtsCMg

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!
