Summer reads, fresh perspectives, different habits.

January has a funny way of easing us back into the year, (though it feels like a distant memory to some of us now!)

Somewhere between beach time, quiet mornings and a little more headspace, many of us pick up books that challenge how we think, work and lead.

The team at Square Penny’s reading list included:
• 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘍𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴- 𝘑𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘊𝘢𝘯𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘭𝘥, 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬 𝘝 𝘏𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘯, 𝘓𝘦𝘴 𝘏𝘦𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘵
• 𝘛𝘩𝘦 5 𝘈𝘔 𝘊𝘭𝘶𝘣- 𝘙𝘰𝘣𝘪𝘯 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘢
• 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘉𝘪𝘨 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘱- 𝘎𝘢𝘺 𝘏𝘦𝘯𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘬𝘴

Different ideas, similar themes across all 3 books.
Focus on what you do best. Be honest about your habits.

• Focus over just 'busy work'.
• Habits that actually move the needle.
• Staying in your zone of genius.

We found as January wound down, February took off, this was a perfect moment to pause. Not for resolutions, but for reflection.

Habits- ask yourself:
• Where am I operating in my zone of genius?
• Where am I spending time out of habit, not impact?
• Which behaviours helped my business grow last year, and which quietly held it back?

Because habits do not just shape our days. They shape our businesses, financially and operationally. Strong habits shape cash flow, planning, forecasting and strategy.

Stay in your zone of genius- let us handle the numbers. 

Most business owners are experts in what they do. Don't let financial management pull you away from that. 

At Square Penny, this is our zone, let us help you build healthier financial habits into your business, give us a call on 1300 472 412.
