NATHAN: It’s a very transient town, so you end up
with a lot of people from a lot of different places who
are drawn to live here for various reasons - the same
reasons we all love living here. When you get so many
people from so many different places in one spot, you
get lots of different ideas coming together and people
start to think, hey, this might work here! Maybe that’s
it.
JUNE: The Cairns community offers many opportunities
for locals and local businesses to be successful.
5. What are your goals for your business over the
next 5 years?
PAIGE: We have just added two new services to
our menu which I’m really excited about. I will be
announcing these towards the beginning of August!
My long term goals are a secret; you’ll have to wait
and see...
NATHAN: You mean aside from surviving? *Laughs*
Our real goal is to keep making sure our clients are
having a good time and that they are enjoying their
events. There has been a lot of growth in the corporate
market in the event space, so we’re looking forward
to seeing more of that. But as far as goals go, we just
want to keep on trucking.
JUNE: Our aim is to produce outstanding dancers of
the highest standard, whether it be pursuing dance as
a career or simply for the love of dance.
6. What advice do you have for someone who would
like to start their own business, or what do you wish
you would’ve known before you started yours?
PAIGE: Believe in yourself and love what you do. If you
believe you can you will, and if you enjoy what you do
it’ll show and the rest will fall into place. Dream big
and most importantly never give up!
NATHAN: You really have to understand how much
hard work it is. A lot of people think it will be easy. It’s
not until you get right into it that you realise how hard
it actually is. And even one like mine - going to parties,
having a good time, and getting to have a drink with
your clients - is a lot of hard work during the week.
Just don’t underestimate the amount of hard work
you’ll have to do to get it rolling. But when it is rolling,
enjoy it and make the most of it.
JUNE: Have a good support team with a good knowledge
of business and be sure to follow your dream.
