president's report
Dear Members

We had a great dinner meeting and seminar at the Yungaburra Hotel in June. We were well looked after by the staff at the Hotel and Pamela Helps from Reception Plus gave us an excellent talk on "What women want and how to get it" along with some basic tips on time management. It was good to be reminded of how important it is to smile, value oneself, dress well but comfortably so you feel good about how you look - it builds confidence and gets a great positive response back. We were also reminded of the importance of prioritising, planning and setting goals. Pamela gave us a survey to answer on our time management skills and I know for myself I certainly saw many area's were I need to improve to get the best use of my time. A big one for me was making decisions and planning my time.
Michelle Bell-Turner TBWN President
Well it's the start of a new business financial year and a great opportunity to look at both our work and personal goals. How do you want your business to grow this year, what strategies have you in place, do you need to do any training for you or your staff. What are you doing well and where can you improve. Do you have the skills to move your business to the next level or would you like some assistance to work out where to next. Why not start with the basics - Where are we now, where would we like to be. How are we going to get there and who is going to implement the things to get there and when. Is your vision achievable - break it into bite sized chunks and you will be amazed at what you can achieve.

This month we have a fun and relaxed Dinner at the Malanda Lodge for our Christmas in July function - friends, partners and family are welcome. Just remember each person needs to bring a Secret Santa gift to the value of $10. Lucia and Sylvia have been busy organising and planning this event for a bit of winter festive cheer, so rug up in festive colours of Christmas and come down and join us for a relaxed fun evening.

I wish everyone well with the new 2010/2011 financial year and look forward to seeing you at our XMAS in July Dinner at the Malanda Lodge on the 28th.

Regards
Michelle Bell-Turner
TBWN President
