. . . on understanding the saver/spender status quo in your relationship Rana has always been fascinated by our relationship to money. This interest and her own personal experience inspired her to embark on a Master of Counselling research thesis entitled Couples with Financial Difference: Can a Saver and a Spender Live in Harmony? During her research, Rana discovered that money is such a personal and private matter that it is often just too confronting for most couples to deal with. — Queensland Brides, Winter 2008. |
. . . on leadership and mentoring capabilities Rana is a firm believer that attitudes are sometimes fixed, whereas technical skills can always be learned, so she tends to seek out people with positive attitudes and a willingness to learn, then teach them required technical skills, including outsourcing various training. Rana states "At the National Institute of Accountants’ (NIA) annual general meeting where all members are invited to attend, I usually stand up and speak about the virtues of being a divisional councillor and also of being a sole practitioner – usually I am then sought out later by some attendees for further support in helping them achieve their career goals, often to be self employed". member profile: Rana Jewell, PNA After spending the years 1983-89 studying and working 80-plus hours a week, Rana Jewell heard the 'burn out' alarm bells ringing. — National Institute of Accountants April/May 2005 |

Everywhere I go today, these two scenarios are compared and contrasted with the former being given all bad press and publicity and no saving virtues. — Her Business Australia & NZ Editions No.8 2003 |
. . . on saving for retirement. Rana is an avid saver and has consistently saved 10% of her GST-inclusive practice fees for personal investment purposes. Most of her accounting colleagues are increasing their debt levels and concentrating on growing a business to sell on retirement. With this strategy, holidays usually go out the window, along with health and quality family/leisure time.
The most commonly accepted retirement plan that I have observed is one whereby you work, work, work like a Trojan until you are 55 years and save, save, save so that when you reach this magical age, a miracle will happen – you will suddenly stop work and have enough time and money to do absolutely nothing and/or to do all the things you have ever wanted to do ... — Natural Life Review Aug/Sep 2001 edition |
What is so wrong with having money in the bank, or a sum of money sitting idle somewhere? Anyone would think that it was almost a criminal offence. —Natural Life Review Jun/Jul 2001 edition |
... on personal debt. This is a time of record personal debt in Australia. Despite the trends of the majority, Rana teaches clients who want to learn how to save for tax liabilities and business/personal funding. is debting addictive? I believe it is. Whichever way I look, we are being encouraged to borrow, borrow, borrow!!! Buy now, and pay later! — Natural Life Review Apr/May 2001 edition |
