“Let’s make change our Friend”

“Let’s make change our Friend”

Those words were coined by President Bill Clinton in his first inaugural address in 1993.

A constant in our world is change – we are all being challenged to adapt to a world that does not remain the same. Lots of changes to deal with.

Change happened to me recently.

I had been planning for some time that when I reached the grand age of 70 I would make some big alterations to my work life.

So on 31 March 2024 I sold most of my accounting business to One Team CA in Newmarket. Great people to pass on a lovely group of clients.

I’ve had strong relationships with my clients over the years, many of them I know well and have been able to provide key advice to them at crucial times in their business. I have also worked with a great team of people and I miss them a lot.

But it’s time to embrace change, and I’m still in the game.

I love assisting not for profit organisations and helping people wanting to buy businesses – l like to help them by “looking under the bonnet” of a business to make sure it is a good one to buy. I’ve been doing this stuff for many years and I love assisting others especially at a time when they are making a big decision like buying a business.

So yes, letting go means a big change for me but I reckon I am up for it.

Each new day I’m wanting to make change my friend!
