ENTREPRENEUR LIFE
The Entrepreneur Life is full of twists and turns.
The Entrepreneur Life is a vivid one.
For more than twenty years I have had an entrepreneur’s life. I left corporate life and started my own business when my children were small. The entrepreneur life has been full of ups and downs. And for many people this life is not for them. It is full of risk and unknown. No two days are a like. Every part of my life is different.
However there is one single thread that holds the entrepreneur’s life together. That is the deep commitment to hard work, making a difference and serving customers. I thrive on finding and delighting customers. In this section I shed light on my journey, and my life. This is a series of blog posts which diarise my week and share what it is that I get up to.
I have found that the entrepreneur life is full of twists and turns and many life lesson. But since 2017 and with the launch of the Big Red Group the entrepreneur’s life has got much bigger as we play a global game.

Coming up this week 21st March 2016
The question I am asked a lot is “what do you do now that you are not the CEO of RedBalloon?” Whilst life is busy, it is not chaotic – it is purposeful. In fact one of the things I do to create my week is to consider "What is the big game I am playing? - and I block...

The question I am asked a lot is "what do you do now that you are not the CEO of RedBalloon?" Whilst life is busy, it is not chaotic - it is purposeful. Last I visited Barnardos Australia's Auburn Centre. It enables families in crisis to get the help they need all in...
Exhilerating week to amplify Australian leadership
Last week was one 'out of the box'... a moment to reflect on the momentum that is gathering around entrepreneurship and leadership throughout the Australian business community. Some years ago I used to write posts about 'what is coming up for me this week' – but I...
