Remember when the year 2000 was upon us and all the talk was about the Y2K bug, we’d posse up at the beach at Rottnest island in W.A with our four lemon ruskis, listening to silverchair bang out another hit and talk about how the world was about to fall apart.

Now we’re in the year 2017 and silverchair are long gone. Although check your back garden because Daniel Johns might be sleeping there.

As they say, sometimes the days are long but the years go quick.

This time of the year is an interesting one from a business perspective. At the end of 2016, I sat down one on one with each of my staff, talked through their year and tried to plant the seed in their mind, for them to think about their own vision and how we fit into that picture. I wanted my staff to spend at least 15 hours on their own over the break to reflect and realign themselves if necessary.
