I have just returned from our UHY International Network’s Annual General Meeting held this year in London to coincide with 100-year anniversary celebrations for our London UHY Hacker Young firm.
It was a privilege to attend this conference and AGM and to meet with representatives of our network from over 60 countries (we are in 96 countries around the world) and to listen to some world-class presenters on global issues including AI, International Taxation, Reputation and Influence, and Culture.
However, the real power of these conferences and meetings is to meet with like-minded people who share the same challenges, are striving for success and willing to share their experiences.
Being in business can be a lonely place, with many small business owners feeling like they are the only one facing challenges, or on the other hand, if you are experiencing some success you feel like no-one really understands what you have sacrificed for that success, and of course here in Australian we face the tall-poppy syndrome.
But as Muhammed Ali said “It ain’t bragging if you can back it up”.
In Gladstone this weekend we will be celebrating business owners in our region at the annual Gladstone Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s “Best in Business” event. This event has grown from strength to strength over the years, recognising the best our region has to offer. From start-ups to large industry, young leaders to those with more experience, this event offers us all an opportunity to celebrate the finalists and winners, and to recognise every business owner/leader for their effort, sacrifice and success. Most importantly, the event is an opportunity to network and celebrate with other like-minded people.
The power of connection offers much more than just an opportunity to share stories, it can grow confidence, help with decision-making, increase business intelligence and most importantly contribute to success.
I encourage you to connect with others in your community, your industry, or with professional groups and advisors to expand your network, your thinking and to strive for excellence.
The professional business advisors at UHY Haines Norton are here to listen and share our knowledge and experience with you, call us today on 07 4972 1300.
