As a successful woman in business, what advice could you give to other businesses? Work on your own life before anything else (after all, we only get one chance!) and be deliberate about where you focus your time and energy. Trina Thompson, Vineyard Mates Business owner. What separates your business from the next? Helping vineyard owners be sustainable and successful - Vineyard Mates is for small Work out where you want to be, what you need to focus on to get there and what is holding you back. Have the self-belief to embrace every opportunity fully and ignite your potential. This way you will create a career, business and life to love and thrive in. BA24008 Director/Sales Consultant, Sara La Nauze. What’s that ‘something special’ that makes your day at work? What I love about every day in real estate is that there is never one day that is like the last, you never know who will call or walk through your door to ask for your assistance. We are so lucky that we get to meet so many amazing people within our community, sometimes we are in their lives for a moment and others for much longer. I love the connection that we can make with people and the impact we can make to create a positive change within their lives. Regularly the hardest thing for people selling their homes is “where do they start”, what do they tidy and who can do it for them? I love to be able to go to houses prior to people being ready for this step and giving them the clarity of what they can do and linking them with the people who can bring about the transformations or assistance that they need to move forward to sell their homes. I would like to think that we not only sell houses, we are also here to give you the answers you are seeking when it comes to selling your home. In your opinion, why do you think it is important that women are recognised in business? As a woman in business, it is a great time to be blazing a trail in our recognised industries. To be standing up and not being afraid to show who we are and why we are so passionate about the industries that we are in.

At Barossa Funerals we walk alongside our families to plan the farewell of their loved one. We are here to help you bring your thoughts together to plan a farewell that is fitting for your family. We offer choices as we talk about your very special person, helping your ideas to come together, maybe a special song, the flowers they loved or something uniquely special to include in their farewell. What separates your business from others? While we are a small business, we are committed to serving our community. This is our contribution to help families through their journey of loss. There is no greater privilege than to share this time with the family. Do you have a motto or goal that you strive towards? To share the journey with our families, in a caring and professional manner. This is a very special time, the sadness of their loss, but often the joy that comes with speaking about their loved one, can help to ease their burden. We have the privilege of sharing the Funeral day with the family, being a trusted familiar face on a day which is filled with emotion, and providing a gentle hand of support, is why we as women, are very proud to be working in our role.
