Testimony - I now see light at the end of the tunnel; in fact I may already be out of the tunnel. Last year I felt almost overwhelmed with the work I had. Now I am so much more organised, have a clear vision of what I want to achieve, more motivated and, generally, happier at both work and home. I have Brendan and the Scratch'n'Win Challenge to thank for my new lease on life.

"Make the decision and take immediate action"
Strengths - Sales Analysis, problem identification
Achievements - Reduced weekly workload from 80hrs (2001) to 30 hrs (2006). Maintained Newsagency growth of over 6% every year since 2001. Finalist 2003 and 2004 Angus and Robertson franchise store of the year. Winner 2004 Marketing Award for A&R franchise stores.
Testimony - 18 months into owning our dual retail stores in Albany, I hit the wall. I was working stupid amounts of hours per week, I was starting to hate going to work and I wanted out badly. As you know, it's just not that easy to give notice and leave. I can't remember exactly how I met Brendan and his NTB concept, I'm just glad I did. This fact I am still involved in the industry speaks volumes about the mindset change that followed. You will have heard the saying 'go and get a life', well I made the decision to do that and NTB was one of the key elements of making that dream a reality.
