Welcome to our October 2009 News Brief

Hello, and welcome to the Second Edition of our Monthly Business News Brief.

We commenced issuing these News Briefs in September 2009, with the purpose of providing useful, challenging and thought-provoking comment and advice to business owners.

This month: we have a look at a simple but immensely powerful Formula for Results, and an article questionning how the job market may be evolving. We hope you find these articles of interest.

In order to help you get better results, we are also offering a free Business Healthcheck to business owners, and this will also include a free consultation with you, lasting up to two hours.

P.S. Why not have a go at our "Excuses" Competition (see below, great prize!)?

Kind regards

Gordon JH Mowat CA
Managing Director
