25bps rate drop gets Australia excited again, PDS round table is next week, is your morning routine working? all the news and views from your trusty Mayflower team
As you know, the most exciting thing that's happened in in years is the 25bps rate drop in the official cash rate yesterday. And it might just be enough to keep Labor in power after the federal election in April or May. Maybe...
So where to spend all your new found $$? We suggest a fancier lunch at your desk when you attend the next PDS managers round table next Wednesday (registration below). Speaking of, we have had a last minute change of speaker. Sadly, Fiona is no longer available so we've got the policy team from the FSC coming along instead. Should be a great session, get on it!
And lastly, we are still on the hunt for a Keystone magician for a 3-month contract. There's a free lunch in it if you recommend someone and we take them on ;)
Happy hump day everyone!
Cheers
Sarah

WHAT'S MISSING FROM YOUR MORNING/EVENING ROUTINE?
I absolutely loved this article in The Whippet by McKinley Valentine! It dives into the real purpose behind morning and evening routines. Did you know there are actually two main goals, and sometimes advice-givers get them all mixed up? It's no wonder things can get confusing when you're trying to create your own routine!
