    • For years I have been saying that small business is fantastic, but also tough. Sometimes you are “alone at the top” (even if YOU are the business) and sometimes its just hard.
    • I wanted to make a difference and help other people, not just talk about, actually DO somebody about it!

    • I love chilling and camping in the bush with my wife.
  6. What’s one quirky piece of advice you’d give to new business owners?
    • Work together, ask for advice, there are so many proud business owners who have done this before you, ASK for help! “your network is your net worth”?
