Yo yo yo! Reader, There's a funny thing that happens when your business grows. You spend years dreaming about having more opportunities… …and then one day you wake up and realise your biggest challenge isn't finding opportunities anymore. It's choosing which ones deserve your attention. That was this week. Also if you are needing a game changing legend of an accountant, Ethan is your guy!

Yo yo yo! Reader, This week felt like a milestone. After weeks of planning, measuring, moving and reorganising, the new pallet racking finally went in. In less than an hour, one of the biggest operational projects we've tackled this year was standing in the warehouse and almost immediately, it started filling up. On the surface, it looks like shelving. In reality, it's capacity. Capacity for more stock. More consignments. More opportunities. More live shows. More moving parts. And judging by...

Yo yo yo! Reader, This week felt like a strange mix of progress and pressure. On paper, things are moving in the right direction. We crossed new milestones, continued building out the company structure, and kept eBay Live rolling. But behind the scenes? It was one of those weeks where I was reminded that growth doesn't wait for you to "get organised." Sometimes you have to rebuild the plane while you're still flying it. Also if you are needing a game changing legend of an accountant, Ethan is...

Yo yo yo! Reader, This week marked the end of one financial year and the beginning of another. I always find this time exciting. Not because the calendar changes... But because it gives you permission to reset. The lessons stay. The mistakes stay. The experience stays. But mentally, you get to start from zero again. And that's exactly where my head has been this week. Also if you are needing a game changing legend of an accountant, Ethan is your guy! Get in contact for some TAX TIME SUCCESS -...

Yo yo yo! Reader, This week felt less like running a business and more like rebuilding one while it was still operating. Some weeks are about chasing sales. Some are about solving problems. This week was about preparing for what comes next. With only days remaining in the financial year, almost every decision I'm making is no longer about today—it's about setting up FY27. And while that's exciting... It's also a little terrifying. Also if you are needing a game changing legend of an...

Yo yo yo! Reader, This week felt like one of those weeks where a lot happened, yet somehow it feels like nothing happened at all. The days were packed. The warehouse was busy. There were wins, challenges, planning sessions, customer conversations, live shows, camera deals, warehouse changes, and more moving pieces than I can count. Yet when I sit down to reflect, what stands out most isn't what happened this week. It's what we're building for next week, next month, and next financial year....

Yo yo yo! Reader, This week felt like three months squeezed into five days. We kicked off the week with a massive shoe liquidation show, processed over 270 orders, secured a new consignment partnership, assessed thousands of dollars worth of camera gear, prepared for our company transition, and continued building the systems that will support the next phase of growth. The funny thing is that most of this work won't show up in this week's revenue. But that's exactly the point. Much of what...

Yo yo yo! Reader, Over the coming weeks, there are some big changes happening. The business is moving from a sole trader structure to a company. We're reshaping parts of the business model, preparing for FY27, and building for what comes next. As part of that, I'm also going to be changing the structure of this newsletter. Rather than just sharing random thoughts from the week, I want to give you a more structured behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to build something over the...

Yo yo yo! Reader, This week reminded me of something I think we all forget from time to time... You can be doing all the right things and still have a bad day. You can be showing up. Doing the work. Following the plan. Making progress. And still look at the scoreboard and think: "What the heck happened?" That was my week. One day we were flying. The next day felt like someone had turned the tap off. Nothing changed. Same effort. Same process. Same commitment. Different result. And that's when...
