In my home country of Australia, it is common for indigenous people to go walkabout which is a journey for an indefinite amount of time.

Growing up in the outback and amongst these people meant life was full of adventure. So starting a new business was like another BIG adventure, (a walkabout for an indefinite amount of time)!

My first business, after kids, was creating a new physical product.

But ... I wanted to sell it online!

I pulled up my bootstraps & got to work … I would learn it all, do it all & enjoy the ride!

However, I was also holding onto my "piggy bank" so tight to save pennies that I didn’t realise I was choking the business & suffocating myself.

Eventually, after depleting resources, my “outback bed” project gathered dust in our basement.

I thought I was saving money by doing it all, but in the end...it cost me everything.

It was over.

Yet during the process a new interest had emerged.
