HOW COVID HAS IMPACTED SMALL BUSINESS Written by Lincoln Wilson

In Australia, 4.8 million people are employed by small enterprises, accounting for 45.7% of the country’s workforce. But when the pandemic came, 70% of them reported a revenue decline.

According to Shane Perry, SME loans analyst at Max Funding, “Small businesses are vital to the economy because they’re the ones that can quickly adjust to upturns and downturns. When the economy is strong, hiring begins with them. And during the recession, they’re also the first to cut down spending and conduct layoffs.”

The contributions of small businesses to the economy and sense of community can be seen in the Australian Leadership Index, which shows that their ALI Score has continuously increased last year. The ALI Score is a measurement of a business’s direction for the greater good.

Small Businesses and Connections Many Australians believe that small businesses are more ethical, accountable and transparent compared to larger enterprises. The former also tend to be more responsive to the needs of the community and subgroups within it.

Surprisingly, the COVID-19 pandemic created positivity towards small businesses, as consumers realise their contributions and deeper connections to the local communities.

Adapted New Business Models Sometimes, survival necessitates doing something you had never considered before. Many businesses expanded their products/services and offered deliveries, while others offered their space and equipment for other purposes. Take for example the schools and fitness centres that started offering online classes.

Wield Social Media According to a study, 71% of Australia’s population is active on social media. Social media now plays an integral role in our life—a strong factor in our personal and professional decisions. Small businesses that figured out how to properly exhibit their value via social media are reaping the rewards now.

Ultimately, a small business may be the key to Australia’s economic recovery with the support of the government and sustainable partnerships between SMEs. It is also time for consumers to reflect on their purchasing behaviour.

So, what did most small businesses do to stay afloat during these uncertain times?

Adoption of e-Commerce Many businesses without an online presence were forced to adopt digital channels to continue operations. Those who didn’t have a complex virtual store could take advantage of the e-commerce tools offered by large marketplaces, such as Alibaba, Shopify, and Etsy.

HOW 5 LITTLE BEARS AND A MUM THRIVED DURING COVID Leanne Murner is an author, business owner/designer at 5 Little Bears Pty Ltd and a proud mum of 5 boys. Leanne saw a gap in the market for Australian themed wooden toys and began creating products for children with an educational and Australian twist. Being a creative soul, Leanne grew the business fast and as time went by her product portfolio increased..

In Addition she has also published the first of a series of 6 children’s books, Franki and the Banksia, with the remaining being published later in 2021. Leanne wanted to teach kids about Australian native flora and fauna, what they are and who needs them to survive. Leanne is busy working on another series of books teaching kids about Australian animals and their habitat, threats and how we can help.

Leanne is passionate about the need for children to be educated on Australian wildlife and the prevention of extinction.

We sat down with Leanne to discuss how Covid impacted her business as well as what she did to overcome the challenges to survive through the lockdowns and the heartache the pandemic caused to small business throughout 2020.

Interview‘5 Little Bears was created in honour of our 5 sons, Oliver, Luca, Franki, Louis and Leo.

We noticed how much Australia lacks good-quality Australian-made and Australian-themed puzzles and sensory products so we created products that celebrate our unique country and encourage children to learn through play.

The first seven months of 2020 despite the pandemic exceeded our expectations with record sales and so much positive feedback that we now mostly wholesale to gift stores and online. Our products are so popular with customers purchasing to help with their home schooling as well as wholesaling to gift stores/online stores around the world who are struggling to find stock.’

vnm magazine 06

Did you have any prior business experience before taking the plunge to start up 5 little bears?

Yes. My other business ‘Personalised Keepsakes’ had timber offcuts piling up and I was looking to find a sustainable use for them. I donated heaps of offcuts to my local preschool then was approached by an educator about making puzzles and sensory items. After extensive research, I found that there was an obvious void in the market for Australian themed educational resources. With focusing on teaching Australian kids about their own backyard 5 Little Bears was born.

What was your biggest lesson from starting your own business?

Learning to manage money and not over capitalise, growing with you business not beyond it.

What did you find was the biggest cost or investment when starting your business? Definetley the machines to make the products Did you change your business model or methods during covid to adapt?

With my husband being laid off from his job over COVID it allowed me to take the business to the next level with working longer hours and having more help with the kids. Growing a business and raising a family, there are only so many hours in a day.

Did you spend more money and time on marketing during Covid?

No. We were not doing any paid advertising on social media platforms, just our daily posting. With parents having their children at home they were looking for educational resources and us being still open and Australian made, this was the perfect opportunity to offer our range. We changed our marketing more geared to how many activities this one product had providing multiple activities from one investment. We have over a 400% increase in sales from COVID. What do you think is the most important aspect of your business? Quality, customer service, product, marketing?

If I was to just pick one it would be our products, they are one of a kind with all being designed and handmade onsite, we are constantly getting customers tagging us on social media platforms and that is in return giving us free marketing.

Would you do it all again? Definitely! Yes! What did you wish you knew when you first embarked on starting up your own business?

How important the book-keeping is to see how the business is tracking.

Tip on balancing mum life and business?

Taking time out when you need it. Everything will still be there the next day. Your business and family cannot run with a burnt out mamma.

Where do you see 5 Little Bears in 5 years from now?

Expansion into wholesale internationally and all products and books in multiple languages.

WORKING 9 TO 5 FOR WOMEN’S RIGHTS WHAT A WAY TO MAKE A LIVING

When the movie 9 to 5 was released in 1980, women’s liberation was still a fresh concept for most of the world. Re-watching the comedy, about three women fighting back against a sexist boss, you’ll notice that the clothing and office technology has changed, but much of the film’s message about the dynamics between men and women in the workplace remains sadly relevant nearly 40 years later.

The three women—played by Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin—are secretaries at a large company, who get bullied and harassed by their strutting, pompous boss Franklin Hart (Dabney Coleman). Hart demands complete control of the workplace as he propositions and gropes Doralee (Parton), berates Judy (Fonda), and takes credit for the ideas of Violet (Tomlin). Through a farcical mix-up, the women end up taking charge of the business while holding Hart in captivity, and successfully transform the office into a progressive workplace with flexible hours and in-house daycare.

Patricia Resnick was just 26 when she wrote the screenplay for 9 to 5. Resnick was interviewed at her home in California to talk about her research into the lives of secretaries, what she would change if 9 to 5 were remade today, and why she thinks working women are in some ways worse off now than in 1980.

The interview has been lightly edited for length and clarity.

vnm magazine 08

Lily Tomlin’s character, Violet, is a highly skilled professional who is passed over for promotion, and whose ideas are stolen by men, all while successfully holding down her responsibilities at home as a mother. In that, she feels like a standin for a whole generation of working women.

Can you tell us what informed her character?

Violet wasn’t specifically based on any one person. I wanted her to reflect not just one particular type, but to try to cover different types. Violet is the super-competent woman who trains the guy who is below her who then eventually leap frogs over her. That was such a standard thing to happen back then. All those things that were said in the movie—that the man promoted over her needs to support a family—that’s what people said, that was the thinking in 1979 and 1980. That was such a common excuse, and another thing he says, which is clients prefer to deal with a male in that position, I think that’s still used.

At the end of the movie, Violet, Judy, and Doralee have transformed the office into what must have seemed like a workers’ paradise in 1982—and probably still sounds utopian to many of us—with job sharing, flexible hours, and on-site child care. How much of that seemed like fantasy when you wrote it?

All of that was very much from the research that had been done by these various organizations into workers’ rights. That was all pulled from that. Most of that is still not really around. If you look at the number of major companies that have day-care, it’s a handful. Flexible hours, job sharing, that’s still not really standard. They were kind of cutting-edge ideas, but it’s amazing to me that they are not all in common practice still.

Despite their success, the company’s chairman—who applauds most of the women’s improvements—scoffs at the idea of paying women the same as men, as if that’s a bridge too far. Was that your intention, to show that no matter how far these women can push things, equal pay was still unacceptable in a male-dominated workplace?

Yes, absolutely. How long ago was it that the movie came out?

Thirty-nine years ago? Thirty-nine years later, we still don’t have it. ERA (the equal rights amendment) still hasn’t passed it. Even though the movie is a comedy, and there’s fantasy, we’re still somewhat in the world of reality.

It sounds like you wanted to push conversation on hard hitting topics through a mask of light hearted comedy, was your intention to drive a message to the world on women’s rights?

That’s a hard one.

I certainly think that the movie presented the ideas we wanted to present, in a palatable form. The world was on the cusp of changing when I wrote the script. You never hear the words “sexual harassment” in the movie, and the reason is because none of us had heard the words sexual harassment. We didn’t know that phrase. Things started to change, but it’s certainly gotten much more attention recently as having something to say politically than it did at the time, and certainly much more so when the musical came out.

Part of the problem is that theatre critics—who in America tend to be primarily, if not exclusively, male— is that they didn’t understand how a contemporary audience could relate to 9 to 5, because they felt none of these things were problems anymore (in 2008, when the musical debuted in Los Angeles). Only men think that. Women always knew that didn’t go away. Until recently, the only men who didn’t think it had gone away were the men participating. The men that weren’t doing that kind of thing just had no idea that this is part of women’s daily life, and it always has been and unfortunately this is not going to go away now either. This is not going to fix everything. I’m concerned about blowback. I’ve heard, here and there, that a number of guys in the business are saying, ‘I’m just not going to hire a female assistant and I’m not going to have women in the writers’ room because I don’t want to have to watch everything I say and everything I do.”

Things change slowly and incrementally, and I certainly don’t think any one of us is going to wake up in a couple weeks and feel that sexual harassment is gone and women are going to be hired equally.

Clearly a lot hasn’t changed for women in the office. But a lot has.

How much would the movie need to be updated if you remade it in 2021?

If it was going to be made today, I think there’s a lot of differences. In certain ways, things are even harder for women now, just because of the advent of all the tech stuff, which didn’t exist in 1980. Anyone would kill for a nine-to-five job now. We’re all expected to be reachable and ready to work, 24 hours a day. Women are expected to work and parent, and they’re expected to be available. That’s changed for the worse, and I would want to look at that.

People are struggling. You could squeak by back then on a secretarial job—you could raise a family. People have to do crazy things now. People are bringing their kids to work when they’re sick because they can’t afford to take care of them. Many more people are one or two pay-checks away from losing everything. Those pressures are much stronger.

The sexual harassment stuff isn’t as blatant. Hart probably wouldn’t say out loud the things he said, and therefore it’s more insidious. Right now it’s changed, but as of a year ago, there were a lot of younger women who didn’t consider themselves as feminists, who thought that was a dirty word, who honestly thought their chances in the workplace were equal with men. Between the election and everything that’s happened, it’s been a bit of cold water of reality in the faces of younger women. I think that’s a good thing, because you can’t change the world until you recognize what’s going on.

WHY CHOOSE A BUSINESS BROKER IF YOU WERE TO ASK MOST PEOPLE WHAT IS A BUSINESS BROKER? YOU WOULD FIND MANY STRUGGLES TO DESCRIBE THE ROLE, SO IT IS ONLY NATURAL WHEN LOOKING TO BUY OR SELL A BUSINESS THAT YOU QUESTION WHETHER YOU NEED A BUSINESS BROKER AT ALL!

vnm magazine 010

A business broker is a professional who assists in the representation of the sale or purchase of a business at the negotiation or pre-sale of contract stage.

The easiest way to describe the role is to think of the broker

“Like a Real Estate agent but for the sale of goodwill, not bricks and mortar” The sale/purchase of a business can be very complex and tricky to navigate as it is not always a visible or physical asset that can be understood without the important support of key documents and information.

When considering the sale of your business it is important to begin with an appraisal and price point in mind to ensure you are making the best and most informed decision for your future. Unlike the sale of property, there currently is no pooled database of recent comparable business sales to accessibly refer to as a seller.

An experienced business broker, from a reputable agency, is able to provide you with internal data to discuss similarities, market trends and buyers expectation in order to form a current market appraisal as well as assist with a targeted and effective marketing campaign.

A business broker will also assist in recommending key documents you need to collect and organise as a seller. Did you know there are particular documents that you must provide otherwise the sale can be voided at any point? You may at first think the cost of a broker is high but legal battles and sales falling through can be a much higher cost in the long run! Ultimately the business broker will not get paid commission until you have settled on your business sale, however, legal bills are payable upon representation regardless of whether you settle the business sale or not.

Business Brokers can also assist a purchaser in a “Buyers Advocate” position to provide recommendations on business suitability by profiling you and your lifestyle. This helps ensure you make the right purchase that will have the most probable outcome of sustaining long term success and growth. A business broker is dealing with small business owners every day, they know what to look for and what questions to ask. Having a business broker represent you in a purchase means it’s a fairer fight in negotiations against the broker representing the sale. Would you appear in court self-representing against a QC? The same logic applies here. For a minimal cost, you can ensure all the headaches of negotiating on a business is handled for you by an expert.

With so many business brokers out there, how do you make the decision on which is best for you? Meeting with brokers is a good start but as salespeople, almost all business brokers will present well in an interview so it won’t be easy to pick one based on that alone. One of the most important things to look out for when choosing a broker to work with is chemistry. If the broker makes you feel comfortable and they appear confident about your business then this will most likely be conveyed to future buyers- confidence is key! You also want to make sure your broker is honest and provides an appraisal that is supported with feedback and comparable sales data. Don’t be fooled by the broker that is over-quoting or saying what you want to hear.

Remember, future buyers won’t be so mindful of your feelings and they will be honest on price. You need a business broker that is not afraid to give you the information you need to hear.

Many first time sellers will try to look for a broker who has sold a similar business but don’t let this limit your selection criteria. A professional business broker should be able to sell any business across all industry sectors using their core skills which can be applied to anything. Think about that line in Wolf of Wall Street, where Leonardo Dicaprio asks his team to “Sell me this pen”....this is a famous line but it’s also a true example of professional sales skills. It is not about the object being sold but how well the salesperson can connect with people to work out their motivators within the first few minutes of a conversation on why they may want the pen and connect those dots.

WOMEN IN BUSINESS BACK THEMSELVES FOR SUCCESS

Hear from one of the 28 women - Elle Likopoulos mother of 4 & CEO of Melbourne’s leading Business Broker firms.

I run one of the most successful business brokerages in the state of Victoria. In a very heavily male dominated industry, I have climbed the ranks to being one of the best-selling agents in my field and the first business broker in the state to be formally invited to speak in China, about buying a small business, to foreign investors and visa migrants. I have pioneered for women within my industry and Absolute Business Brokers is now proudly one of the only companies to have more females than men in the team amongst the business brokerages in Australia. I have four young children, including twins that are under 2 years of age, my mission is to continue to empower women to scrap the notion that women need to choose between their career or their families.

When I was a little girl, I used to love going into my Auntie’s room and playing dress up in her corporate fancy outfits. I would clip on these huge 80’s chandelier earrings, wear her shiny suit and be lost in puffs of sleeves and nylon. I used to even wrap sticky tape around my nails to make them look longer and colour them red with my texter. Undoubtedly, I would have looked ridiculous but all these years later, I still remember the rush I felt when I looked in the mirror and saw my reflection as a little girl. I felt glamorous, strong and powerful, it was as if I had put my super hero costume on and went from Bruce Wayne to Batman. I would take an old typewriter my grandmother had lying around and I would set up a pretend office on the coffee table. I would sit on that coffee table typing with my taped red finger nails for hours, never breaking out of character.

One day, I was gifted a doll that looked like a little baby boy. I named him Joshua and I literally took him everywhere- he was my baby in every sense of the word to me. You’d imagine I’d forget about my career alter ego and move on to playing house with my new favourite baby doll as most children would. To the surprise and amusement of my family I set up my coffee table office, put on my garish power suit and began typing away as I normally did, the only difference was that baby Joshua was right next to me in his little toy bed.

vnm magazine 012

My mother turned to me and said “Sweetie, you can’t bring your baby into your office”. I looked up at her and innocently asked her “Why not”. In the 80’s , women certainly had more choice to enter into the workforce and hold careers but there was still very much a choice women had to make between being career women or mothers. My mother laughed and explained to me that my boss probably wouldn’t want a baby to be in their office and I have to leave my baby doll at home. I didn’t realise it then but I was about to make a decision in my life at that moment that broke society norm. “No, mummy, I’m not going to chooseI’m going to do both” I said and went back to typing away.

The key to winning in business is to make up your own rules As a mother of four young children and a successful career in business, I am always asked “How do you manage to do it all?’ The answer is very simple but one that usually has people perplexed at first. I play by my own rules!

We all know that catchy Dolly Parton song “Working 9 to 5” but the reality is the idea of a primary caregiver trying to do this is as outdated as the song. Recent studies indicate that the weight of caring for the children and household are still largely the women’s responsibility in most “traditional” families. As cost of living rises across the globe more and more households are reliant on two incomes to survive. Mothers are now more than ever feeling the pressure of having to juggle the impossible. You can buy all the self-help books in the world, meditate, goal set and binge watch Marie Kondo all you like. The fact of the matter is you feel overwhelmed and exhausted because it isn’t sustainable to work full time structured hours, be at every sports match, remember to pick up dry cleaning and prepare Martha Stewart worthy roasts for dinner forever. Instead of trying to change myself and my family to fit around work, I realised it would be far more sensible to change my working schedule to weave through my family’s life. By starting your own business, you begin taking control of your life and creating your own rules to play by.

You can’t build a business on a trend We’ve all seen on social media the business bandwagon at one point or another. When one café created giant milkshakes with towering whipped cream and confectionary, we soon found our newsfeed flooded with similar images from others following suit.

Back Yourself can be found at all major book stores in store and online.

Likewise, in the Covid pandemic it seemed as though every event planner in Melbourne decided to pivot their business into creating grazing boxes delivered to your door! Visual forums such as Pinterest and Instagram are great sources for inspiration, however, they can also dull your imagination and block the ability to come up with your own creative ideas. For a business to be successful it needs people to engage. You don’t necessarily need to invent something but you do need to find your point of difference within your market.

Whilst trends can sometimes be a quick and easy spike in income, they don’t last long enough to be able to build an entire business model around them. It is important therefore to have an underlining base on which your business stands on that sets you apart. Consider the world around you and make a list of what seems to be topics of interest and passion. What is making a lot of noise? If you want to stand out from your competition and convince people to spend money with you- you need to appeal to their emotional triggers.

We all remember the big cupcake craze that took over little pop up shops and stalls everywhere overnight? The demand for these were so high that the prices soared and franchises began selling stores for hundreds of thousands to eager buyers looking to cash in on the craze. By the time many of them bought the business or set up their business the trend was already at the tail end. Many ended up losing their homes and life savings before they could even get a return on their investment because the hype moved to macarons so quickly! Depending on your business and industry you should think about how you can associate a value that is important to your target demographic that can connect with them for a long term commitment. Using grazing boxes as the example, you may wish to use ethically sourced packaging and local produce with stories of the producers or farmers to connect “support local” and “sustainability” movements with your product. When you start brainstorming you will find the ideas are rather easy to come up with, provided you already have a sense of what issues are important to your demographic. Keywords on Instagram are a great tool to help you research and see what moves your buyers as it’s what AI (artificial intelligence) is doing already to keep us scrolling.

Using values rather than trends allows your business to adapt with changing hypes whilst maintaining consistent foundations and identity for branding awareness and customer loyalty.

Starting a business is hard work and there will always be moments where you wonder if you made the right decision. Don’t let fear and uncertainty cloud your judgement and ability to make the courageous first steps.

Most often the biggest regrets we have in life is not from actions we’ve taken but from the actions we didn’t take because we were too scared. If you have come this far, it means it’s something that you really want to do so block out the negative thoughts and just dive in. It’s not about the success of the business or how much money you make, in fact you may need to make a few attempts before you get it right.

Ultimately it’s the empowerment you unlock from within once you finally make the decision to Back Yourself!

THE PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE WORLD CLASS SERVICE, QUALITY & STYLE ADD UP TO LUXURY

S

tarting a business can be a daunting challenge – and experienced Victorian jeweller Glenn Curtis should know.

‘We’ve certainly made some beautiful things, says Glenn. ‘It’s something we all enjoy. There are days when it doesn’t seem like work at all.’

He’s built a successful business from the ground up – and it’s a story worth reading about. Some buy a franchise or an existing business while others like Glenn build their business over time, riding the inevitable highs and lows.

‘One of the most important keys to a successful business is service’ says Glenn, ‘We strive for excellence in every contact – answering an email, seeing a client to discuss their jewellery, or dealing with other industry professionals. It’s vital to help build opportunities and relationships.’

As Glenn himself points out – ‘there’s no right or wrong way – follow your instinct and be prepared to listen to and take advice. Treat every offer or idea with a healthy dose of reality, even cynicism and you’ll soon work out what feels right for you.’

World class quality in craftsmanship has led Curtis to become a world class brand, winning a coveted Robb Report Magazine ‘Best of the Best’ Award helped cement a reputation early on.

In addition, ‘SuperYachts’ compared Curtis to global brand Cartier in terms of being ‘perhaps the world’s finest pens’ – accolades that help drive Curtis on to greater things.

With their own studio and skilled team they create beautiful Australian made diamond jewellery, luxury pens and hand crafted watches in house, so Curtis certainly has luxury covered.

They also create bespoke and one of a kind pieces for individual clients and love to create precious jewellery for any occasion. You can see the tremendous variety of their work at their website at curtisaustralia.com

It was exactly this attention to service that led Curtis to form a relationship with legendary golfer Jack Nicklaus.

A friend of Jack’s had bought a Curtis pen (the brand makes some stunning solid silver ones) and sent it back for a minor adjustment from America.

Exceptional Curtis customer service led to an invitation to lunch privately with Nicklaus himself at the exclusive Bear’s Club in Florida.

to your own particular business.

‘Always try to innovate – to stand out from the competition. It might be a simple offer or idea – just give it some thought first and give it a try. For example, we have clients visit our studio for a demonstration and tour – it helps them understand a little about how we make their jewellery and it’s something they love to see’ At the core of this remarkable brand are straightforward values – the highest standards of craftsmanship coupled with the very best in service. Curtis can help you with your jewellery too – feel free to contact Glenn and start a conversation – he’d really love to hear from you.

To learn more about Curtis Australia and see their remarkable work, or to contact Glenn Curtis, visit curtisaustralia.com

Over the course of that lunch, the idea for a range of commemorative, limited edition pens began to form, beginning a very special relationship between Jack and Curtis. It just goes to show how a simple act of quality service can have unexpected and valuable consequences. Building a reputation for superb quality has also helped Curtis create gifts for the Parliament of Australia and the Office of the Governor of Victoria.

Innovation is another facet to Glenn’s philosophy – whether in product or marketing, or just practices that relate Gents ‘Myst’ watch in yellow & white gold, set with brilliant white diamonds
