This message is as much to myself as it is to my b

This message is as much to myself as it is to my business was partner @my_aesthete_life our staff and wider team, as it is to our clients, people we train and all the other hustlers and hard workers: thank you. ‘To pick ourselves up and get this country moving again, we will all rely on the never die attitude of our business community.
It will be the local businesses that keep our communities strong, and it will be the private sector that pulls us out of an economic slump. Get behind your local business, because they’re always going for us.’ - Mark Bouris.
I know I’m not the only one who is finding it tough right now. I’m tired. I’m working long hours (midnight often) for less money. We all are. But that’s how we’ll find our way out of this. ‘I think any bootstrapped business that has survived for as long as we have [is] used to fighting for survival. It’s certainly not the first time that we’ve faced an existential crisis, it’s just the first time we’ve faced one with the rest of the world’ said @kateadorebeauty. I couldn’t agree with this more too.
But it’s still tough being 13 years into business and feeling like you’re back in startup days. Despite openings still many clients aren’t trading. So we keep being there for them. We keep talking to new people. Rebuilding. Long hours. A gazillion extra tasks on your plate every day due to the situation you find yourself in. Submit your monthly P&L to keep getting job keeper. Adjust insurances. Kill off or reduce subscriptions. Adjust people’s hours. Adjust people’s roles. Allocate workloads. Find people to do the jobs that are still left over.
Talk to other long term entrepreneurs who are thinking of getting a job because anything would be easier than this. Talk to people daily who are thinking of starting a business because they’ve lost their job.
It’s like a fortress. Everyone on the inside wants out. Everyone on the outside wants in. Neither side is safe. But still I am optimistic for the future and I am fearful for the future.
But for today I won’t look too far ahead. I will once again go to work and do my very best for myself, my family and everyone around me.

Received this lovely care pack in the post this week from @theruralcompass for doing a guest spot on their International Women’s Day Virtual Summit. Happy to support something like this and do what I can to help women in rural Australia. What amazing looking products. Can’t wait to taste, wear, use and enjoy them @toapinrisefarm @urban_c_designs @affirmationfarm @my_provincial_kitchen @seedandblossoms @theruralnaturopath 💕💕💕

Went out for our first meal in 2 months or so tonight and found this absolute gem @yori_sunshine - a #Japanese #Korean place under the Sebel. My gosh it was clean; well priced; nice decor; good service and the food - amazing! Highly recommend. And it’s a BYO! Otherwise they have a great selection of Japanese beer and sake. The poor owners opened only on 1 Feb; then of course COVID hit. So please if you’re a local, go support them. The last image if you swipe left includes their opening hours and days. #japanesefood #koreanfood

Some COVID creativity. @matisseleavy worked out she could tape her phone to her ceiling fan and set to hands free to get spinning footage so we cut a wee clip saying hi to her mate Nash. LED light in room gave it the purple tinge. #covid19 #covidboredombuster

Yesterday you went to live in the stars. 46 years

Yesterday you went to live in the stars. 46 years old. Always had a good time with you when we hung out Elton. This photo is a cool memory. Cruising around on a yacht in Port Douglas before Grace’s wedding drinking champers and having a good old natter. You cracked me up so bad at the local cafe that morning telling the waiter his coffee tasted like arse. 😂 We still use that saying to this day when we get served a bad coffee. 😝👊
You will be so very missed by your many family and friends - they’re going to have a massive online gathering to celebrate you on Friday. They are all glad you are out of pain now.
You were in my dreams last night playing the guitar and we sung Tutira Mai together and had a drink and laughed a lot. It was beautiful. 🎶
Faatofa my friend. You lived life to the max. It’s a good way to be. “In the end it’s not the years in your life that count, it’s the life in your years.’ 💓💕💕💕💕
