Scaling isn’t just about resources—it’s about networks with “boots on the ground” insight. Startup ecosystems like French Tech Australia (FT AU) connect founders to mentors, resources, and markets, offering local knowledge that is crucial for expansion. These networks lend credibility, open doors, and provide on-the-ground insights to navigate new markets with confidence. From strategic partnerships to market access, ecosystems are invaluable in a startup’s journey from local success to global presence. Tip: Use your ecosystem’s resources proactively—growth is faster with the right boots on the ground. How has your network helped you scale?

Truth, right here. I am elated to have just hired See Me Please's first full-time employee. He just retired from a career as a professional athlete. I hired him because he has grit and works hard. He tells me, if given an opportunity, he will eat bricks for lunch. By choice, I'm bootstrapping See Me Please. At least for the first year. I'm of the view that proven demand and growth, based on the exceptional value we deliver to our early partners, is in the best interest of the business's long-term success. It provides choice, flexibility and negotiation leverage when (if) the time comes to explore potential investment partners. Time will tell if See Me Please will move at the velocity I'd like it to. But if it does, I care too much to give my business away. I have my eyes wide open, this approach means working VERY hard to get it out of the gates. There is absolutely nothing wrong with flexible work and work-life balance depending on your priorities. At the same time, there's immense value in hard work. Hard work can give a sense of purpose and direction, helping a team feel like they are contributing meaningfully to something larger than themselves. Richard Joffe you're singing to me. Thanks for sharing Claudia Levi Pat Jensen

How I measure design success for my clients? (I serve a diverse clientele) Every client needs a different version of me. For an Aussie founder: - More free time for family and kids For a solopreneur consultant: - More focus on the business vs in the business For a B2B SaaS Copywriter: - Leveraging my 5+ years of design experience For an agency owner: - My creative direction for their full-time hires I give my best. They love it. For every client I make sure to: * Overdeliver * Create an easy process * Be clear on what they need Good design creates a smile in the mind. To me, every smile matters. Every design matters.

The results are in and New Zealand has emerged as the top destination of choice for Australian Digital Nomads, according to a new YouGov survey.   It comes as no surprise that 41 per cent of Australians are considering the nomadic lifestyle, with our most recent Global Hiring Report revealing workers want greater location flexibility. However, finding the right destination can be difficult, with factors such as cost of living, safety, and visa permits to consider. New Zealand's close proximity to Australia, relatively lenient immigration and visa procedures, beautiful terrain and landscape, diverse culture (and amazing rugby team) are some of the factors contributing this result.
