Q&A with Coogle Florist and Framing owner Jude Fife:
Owning your own business is no small feat, congratulations – why do you love doing what you do and what are you most proud of?
I love offering my customers great service. I am most proud of being in business for 20 years.
How long have you owned your own business and why did you choose Narrabri?
20 years! OMG! Where has the time gone?!
Who are the women that have inspired you in your working life or daily life?
Jenny Gale. What a local legend. Jenny gives her time so selfishly, especially at Christmas.
How do you manage a work/life balance?
With red wine (lots).
What was the best business advice you received or something you wish you’d known before starting your own business?
I wish I’d known the number of hours I’d need to put in. There is so much more behind the scenes work involved.
Advice for other women looking to start their own small business?
Do it! Put in the long hours and hard work and you will flourish.
Where do you envision yourself in five years?
Still at Coogle and still drinking red wine.
