The Winter Solstice marks the shortest day of the year, and a natural point to pause and reset.

For business owners and leaders, it’s a reminder that progress isn’t always linear. There are periods to push forward, and others to step back, refocus, and prepare for what’s ahead.

As we move into the second half of the year, it’s an opportunity to get clear on your direction and what you want to build next.

What does the next six months look like for your business?

As a business owner or leader, have you ever given any thought to who will replace you when you exit the business or one of your senior staff if they were to resign today?

This is an important topic you shouldn’t put off addressing.

Running a small business in today’s climate isn’t always smooth sailing. From staffing challenges to shifting expectations, it can be tough to keep things together.

But like Vegemite, great leadership is bold, distinctly Aussie, and sometimes an acquired taste. It’s about finding the right balance, sticking with it, and bringing people together, even when things feel a bit salty.

So here’s to the small business owners leading through the workforce crunch with resilience, creativity, and a sense of humour.

Why do so many good business owners become bottlenecks in their own business?

Not because they lack capability. Usually, it’s because they’ve become too central to every decision, process, and outcome.

What starts as dedication and high standards can gradually turn into:
• Decision fatigue
• Team dependency
• Slower growth
• A business that can’t move without the owner

That’s where StratPro comes in.

StratPro is designed to help leadership teams create alignment, clarity, and ex*****on across the business - moving from reactive day-to-day operations into strategic growth.

If you’re not sure whether your business is setup to grow beyond you, then maybe it’s worth looking into StratPro:

Where Strategy Meets Productivity

For Ted Deane, owner of AI Masters Dojo, running a business means constantly generating ideas! But not every idea should be acted on straight away.

That’s what led him to The Alternative Board Adelaide City.

Having a space to step back and talk things through with other business owners has been a game changer. The board gives Ted the opportunity to test his thinking, challenge assumptions, and properly digest ideas before deciding what’s worth pursuing.

It’s not about slowing down innovation, it’s about making better decisions.

Hear directly from Ted in the video below about how the board supports his thinking and decision making.

End of Financial Year 2026: A reset moment for SME business owners

As we approach EOFY, it’s more than just ticking compliance boxes. It’s a valuable opportunity to step back and refocus for the year ahead.

Here are 5 smart moves to make before June 30:

1️⃣ Get your numbers clear
Reconcile accounts, review cash flow, and understand exactly where your business stands.

2️⃣ Talk to your accountant early
Be across your tax position, opportunities, and any last-minute actions before year end.

3️⃣ Take a hard look at performance
What drove results this year? What didn’t? Where are the gaps or inefficiencies?

4️⃣ Plan the next 12 months
Set realistic targets, budgets, and priorities that align with both business growth and your personal goals.

5️⃣ Step back and assess your role
Are you stuck in the day-to-day? What needs to change so you can lead more strategically?

EOFY isn’t just about closing the books — it’s about setting the direction.

At The Alternative Board, we support business owners to turn reflection into clear, practical plans for the year ahead.

Building a high performing team starts with understanding how people work.

DISC is a simple but powerful way to bring that understanding to life, giving you a clearer view of how different people communicate, make decisions, and approach their work.

When you start to see those patterns, it changes how your team works together. Conversations become more effective, collaboration improves, and decisions become easier to navigate.

In our latest white paper, we break down how DISC works and how you can use it to lead more effectively.

Running a business can feel isolating at times — but it doesn’t have to stay that way.

At The Alternative Board, business owners come together to share ideas, challenge thinking, and work through real challenges with people who understand what it’s like.

It creates space to step back, gain perspective, and focus on what really matters, not just in the business, but outside of it as well.

It’s about building a business that works for you, not the other way around. And knowing you’ve got the right people around you while you do it

StratPro is designed to bring clarity, strengthen leadership, and align teams around what really matters.

At McCall Farms, that clarity started within the Quality Assurance team. Through StratPro workshops, they were able to simplify communication, focus their efforts, and move forward with greater alignment.

From there, the impact grew. What began at a team level started to influence the broader business — improving how people worked together and how the organisation moved as a whole.
