    G'day @SamUSA from rural Australia, My apologies for taking so long to answer you. In December, my partner and I sold our beautiful rural property in NSW. And relocated to the alpine region of the state of Victoria. Still in Australia. We are in the rural foothills of Mt Hotham. Victoria's...

    G'day @Robert Hull from Oz, Welcome to The Fastlane Forum! And thank you so much. Yours are very kind words. Nothing beats face to face or voice to voice in consolidating relationships.

    G'day again @pkom79 I really appreciate all your information about online advertising. You've gone to a great deal of trouble to put together facts to support your belief in its value. But you and I will have to agree to disagree on its value for my products. I don't make that decision...

    G'day again @pkom79 No. I've never considered advertising online. We started our business 7 years before the internet came to our rural village in Australia in 2001. And it was another 7 years before the rest of Australia embraced online shopping. So we've had 14 years of developing our...

    G'day @amp0193, Thank you for your story. Consistency in business is everything. As is self-discipline. Sometimes what we have to do is so monotonous as to be boring. But it means everything to a customer. And a follower of your blog. Or Instagram or Facebook account. To post on a regular...

    G'day again @Varun, It's only in hindsight that you realise how much you've learned over time. When you're at the coalface, struggling with what to do next, you don't get many opportunities to reflect. Celebrate small victories. You build on those to get to the bigger picture. Very few bank...

    G'day @pkom79, That's not true. You underestimate the integrity of your customer. If they like your product. And you've treated them with respect. They don't take advantage of you. If. On the other hand, you do nothing more than bombard them with 'buy more' emails! They'll treat you with the...

    G'day @Paul David from Oz, We would have to do everything different today, Paul. In 1994, there was no internet. Everything was done via direct mail. Markets. Home shows. Large agricultural shows were also thriving. It was easy to set up a display and spruik the virtues of your product. Crowds...

    G'day @Everyman from Oz, Thank you for taking the time to read my story. My family was living 10,000 miles away in the USA. And I'm not sure they really understood our situation. Because I told them very little. So there was no interference from them. With Victor's father and mother. We...

    G'day @pkom79 from Oz, Thank you for your very kind words! They're appreciated! When we first started exhibiting at events, we realised there were too many scammers with inferior products on offer. So to set ourselves apart, we offered a 12-month wear and tear guarantee. And to prove we wanted...

    G'day again @redplant from Oz, It's a pleasure to be able to help you. We're conditioned from an early age to not make mistakes. Our parents correct our English. Our manners. Teachers mark us down for not getting everything right. Employers fire us for making mistakes. Our peers chastise us...
