HELLO
Thanks so much for being here, it’s really nice to meet you. So, you want to know a little more about me…
My personal values mean everything to me. I live and die by my integrity, my honesty and my ever-present entrepreneurial spirit. I’ve always been a business owner, long before I ever realised I was. From selling AVON at the age of 10, through to owning and operating one of the largest and most successful regional publishing companies in Australia, I’ve got a wild entrepreneurial spirit and I just love it.
In reality I’m a solutions finder, I see a problem and I build a business that solves it. Simple as that. This has led me towards all kinds of adventures in the entrepreneurial world. Today I manage a busy publishing company, an entertainment company, a marketing company, a personal development company all whilst ensuring I am living a big life, and being the best mother, wife and friend I can be.
In amongst all of this,
I’m also a travel writer and blogger, sharing my family exploits in very cool locations including Bali, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, Italy, Germany, South Africa and of course Australia. This underpins my philosophy to life which is all about “giving it a go”. I’ve inherited a truly adventurous soul, with a strong desire to live the richest life I can.
This approach to life and business has now manifested into books, a speaking career, blogs and partnerships with some pretty extraordinary people. But I still feel like I’m just getting started.
What drives me forward
is my desire to help people to have the best life they possibly can. My biggest passion in life has always come from helping people. My favourites are Small Business owners, Parents, and Parentpreneurs (the crazies that do both!), to be brave, bold and brilliant. I do this by helping them to grow highly effective teams and or families, establish what is important, to get more things done, discover their inner brilliance and most importantly-the courage to give more things a go.
Integrity means everything to me, so I thought I’d share some of my skills so you can see what my strengths are.
