Introducing Your Host, TARA SOLBERG
I started my business 14 years ago with my husband, Danny. We had no idea what we were doing, but we were young, ambitious and had an abundance of passion and big dreams. So we went for it!
We have grown what started as a small store in Huskisson on the South Coast of NSW, to a multi store, global award winning retail business, Few and Far. Oh, and did I mention we've also got a sister brand, Indigo Love, which is the wholesale arm to our business, servicing just under 1,000 retailers and designers throughout Australia and Internationally.
I'm a busy lady, and a membership like this is a big thing to add to my schedule. But I put it together for these reasons:
- Having experience in both retail and wholesale, I get the opportunity to see both sides of the coin, and from what I have observed, there are so many simple things I can teach retail business owners to grow and scale their business (without the stress), while avoiding common mistakes.
- Not only do I love business, but one of the things that really lights me up is bringing ideas to life (not just mine, but yours too!). I've been known to get a little 'over-excited' about others ideas, so I can't wait to hear all about yours and give you the tools (and confidence) to make them a reality.
- And lastly, it may be for selfish reasons, but I would love more beautiful places to shop and to visit and feel inspired, so I have made it my mission to change the retail experience for the better, one store at a time!
See you online!
