My career started by working in a bank at the early age of 16. I married young and have 2 beautiful children who are both married and between them I have 6 grandchildren. Both my children have interesting and successful careers and hopefully I have been some type of positive influence on them. I didn't work for a while then I worked in a bakery to help with the cost of living. We were in government housing for 9.5 years. I had always wanted my own home so I worked 3 jobs to save the deposit then moved in January 1984. I was at this stage a district sales manager and working 60hours a week as well had doing college (marketing)to better myself. I was growing tired so decided to venture into my first business so I mortgaged the house and bought a small general store and service station in the country. This business was not very good however with in 5 years it was flying. My husband had fought me all the way on these decisions but in the end he loved the place and the people but he was becoming very ill so we sold and went back to our home. The first restaurant I bought was just before he passed away so it was sold soon after. At 45 years of age I was widowed and a little lost. I did a bit of travel, built a new home negatively geared the first then bought a building in the local shopping center and created a hair salon and a coffee shop. About 5 years had passed and I met my present husband sold everything found I had accumulated about $1m and we set up Ducks Crossing with the help of the bank and now this story began and finished.view less
