The curious kid growing up.
The kids on my street would be riding their bikes and playing, I’d be busy door-knocking, selling flowers, or offering to do jobs for some quick cash.
My parents were entrepreneurs, buying and selling businesses, constantly chasing opportunities, and our family was always on the move. We moved around - A LOT! Heck, I went to 10 different schools across Australia, and lived in France for some time too.
Playing high-level sport had me competitive from a young age, with a mindset of “never take no for answer” and “where there's a will, there’s a way”

This mindset led me to operate my first big business, a Promotional and Marketing Agency at just 19 years old. I scaled to be Australia’s leading 7-figure business in the industry, with over 1,500 staff and sold the company when I was 23 years old.
I learnt quickly that if you want something bad enough, you need to work hard and ask all the questions, but
this led me to severe burnout.
I became addicted to the chaos, over stimulation and the feeling of never being satisfied.
Business was tough, I made some bad decisions, and blew all of my money by 24 years old.
I found rock bottom, and the thought of having to get a job made me sick.
I was offered a free ticket to a personal development event, and from there, my life changed. I connected with like-minded people, I grew an incredible network and I learnt simple, effective ways to build successful, profitable businesses with ease.

I was meeting so many people and constantly connecting my personal friends with businesses, so I decided to launch - Minding Her Business.
