Welcome to my life… Well not really, but I hope you will have as much fun reading about my life as I do living it!
I love being busy, I have ideas spilling out of my head all the time – not all of them I try out but I love to see where they take me.
My philosophy… being a mum is the most rewarding thing in my life, but it’s not the only thing!
With this philosophy in mind, here is what I do:
I am Mum to 3 young children who I adore, wife to my beautiful and talented husband and founder of two businesses.
2011 saw me start my Bachelor of Communications through Open Universities Australia. Although I know that this degree is not essential to my success, it feels amazing to achieve something that will add so much value to every aspect of my life.
I love diversity and I love being able to pull it all off – sometimes not as well as I would like, but then that wouldn’t make for very interesting reading now would it?
My two businesses are:
The Great Aussie Road Trip project – squarely aimed at inspiring families to experience Australia, we use our adventures and amazing imagery to show that anything is possible with kids! You can see our website here – www.GreatAussieRoadTrip.com.au. This one is thanks to my husband’s threat to travel Australia without me and our then 5 and 3yo daughters. It was up to me to make this happen, and in doing so it took my life in wonderful directions and showed me exactly what is possible. Through sponsors like Canon, we travel and share the adventure with everyone who will listen. We have an amazing country.
Our children love traveling just as much as us. Jasmine our oldest became Australia’s youngest published author with her book My Great Aussie Road Trip written and released when she was 7, featuring HER photos taken when she was 5. See, I told you anything is possible!
Customer Consultants – mystery shopping and customer interaction specialists. Customer service is a huge passion for me, it isn’t some mythical thing that you always strive for but never achieve, it can be as simple as a smile. Customer Consultants uses mystery shopping, our unique knowledge and my personal background in Customer Service, Real Estate and Business to improve the customer experience in every aspect, including Social Media. We help to ensure service is consistent through every customer interaction, staff are happy and feel valued in their position and above all we help businesses to grow their bottom line through understanding the possibilities. Even though we are less than a year old we are already leading the field as the only Online and Social Media mystery shoppers offering a range of social media management for busy business people who understand the benefits of employing a professional. www.CustomerConsultants.com.au
I also run a blog that shares my juggling act as well as many of the lessons I learn along the way. www.NeverTooBusy.com.au (aptly named)
I know I am lucky in my life and I love to help other Mums feel just as lucky, giving them the confidence to take a leap of faith. You will often find me presenting my story, and my journey in Canberra and across Australia as my reach widens. Watch out though,I’ll inspire you into having a holiday!
That being said, welcome to my world.
