Friday's Capricornia Business Awards dinner was a great chance to reflect on what is going right for the region in terms of innovation and economic development.  It showcased and celebrated the talented business operators we have in this region, which is something we need to do far more often.  It reminds us about the many business owners doing great things for their customers day in and day out and I'd like to congratulate all of the winners and nominees for a job well done.  As Peter Drucker states 'the best way to predict the future is to create it', the participating businesses are out there working hard to create a strong economic future for Capricornia.

It was an honour to be nominated for multiple awards and it reminded me of the many people I need to acknowledge and thank as without their hard work, trust, and support, I would not be the businessman I am today.  The support of my wife and three children gives me motivation.  The team at CT Harris & Company work hard every day to make a difference for our clients and I'd like to thank them for their efforts.  Finally, we wouldn't have a business without the trust of our clients, and I'd like to thank them for allowing me to provide guidance and assistance with their financial matters.  While nobody ever knows what the future may hold, it is certainly an exciting time to be in business in Central Queensland.
