We then must make sure every order is right.Ħ:00am – Up to 10 couriers turn up within the hour with their route that Geoff and I have already mapped out the night before. Each delivery is a little different with their own special touches so this can take time.ĥ:30am – My hands are stained in food colouring and sore from tying dozens of balloons. Dough lab taking over from the bakers to start decorating the day’s orders.
When the alarm goes off, I’m tore from a deep sleep while grabbing a hair tie and chucking on some sneakers.Ģ:05am – Geoff and I are down the road at our Dr. I don’t shoulder the load of two businesses alone, my husband/partner in crime, Geoff, looks after our businesses while I’m out during the day at Work inc.Ģ:00am – This has been our wake-up time for years now and it still doesn’t get any easier. But there’s an ironic duality to me saying ‘I didn’t wake up like this’ – My customers from our Pyrmont café get a shock when they catch me in my day clothes, which for most would be normal attire but my customers have come to take my aproned athleisure attire as the norm. The businesses that I have built and the position that I am in here at Work inc didn’t just happen – it stems from a collection of 20 years of experience working hard, staying consistent while learning, and genuinely taking pride in everything I do. It has a friendly, community atmosphere like Bay Ten Espresso but on the other side of the bridge. Pyrmont also acts as our shop front for our line of donuts. Over our four years we’ve sent out over 1 million donuts! And behind that business are people like myself and the people that make up our coworking community.ĭr Dough Donuts – Geoff and I design the donuts ourselves and on any typical day we deliver as many 1,000 donuts to Sydney-sider’s doorsteps. I see myself and my role across all the companies as a supporter of other small businesses like our cleaners that look after the office space or the milk suppliers for the café they all rely on another business too. You want to make sure your employees are looked after but then there’s also other people that rely on you as well. In my case, I am responsible for keeping 30 people employed across Work inc, Bay Ten Espresso, Dr. I’m sure many of you will agree that when you start your own business, you realise very early on that you don’t work for yourself, but you work for the people you employ.
