4/28

I was working for a US-based cotton merchant in Alabama, which opened myeyes to the world of international trade,

he explains. However on returning to Australia I needed ideas to improve ouroperations. Inevitably you become isolated

from head office in those situations.

I figured I would do one subject at atime, apply what I learned, and build myown toolkit. This has proven invaluable at

Blue Sky. I felt the broad subject matter in the MBA and access to experienced individuals would be of benefit.

Throwing myself into a group of peers made me realise I wasnt a complete idiot.

I soon worked out a few things I was goodat, so that gave me a focus so I could playto my strengths.

People enjoy what they are good at, and so by applying myself to things I liked Iwas also happier and more motivated.When you get these structures right in

your life, then you can build off a strong foundation and have a proper go.
