My Island Baby sells very successfully across a number of markets in Sydney. Although she gets approached almost weekly by other shops for wholesale opportunities at the moment her plan…
Since re-launching my blog and finding new forums and reading some awesome blogs, I have had an itch to learn Photoshop, Illustrator by enrolling in graphic design courses. My main motivation is to learn how to design a wonderful new Theme for my blog and take better photos. The library has a heap of online…
When I moved from scientist into the start-up business world I spent some time managing the Queensland Government Ideas2Market workshops. The series of workshops were aimed at novice inventors or “backyard” entrepreneurs introducing them to new skills in starting up a business and selling their ideas. We covered sessions on feasibility, business planning, intellectual property,…
Last Friday a friend announced on facebook the launch of the Australian version of reality TV show, The Amazing Race. Applications are open for pairs of every day Aussies to work together competing against other teams in a race around the world. For fun, I downloaded the application forms and tested N to see if…
