Ash Hunter’s homegrown success
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. At what point did you know you had made it as a business owner?
Made it? I‘m still learning, building and having a ball! When I think I have made it, the dream will have died. I never plan on ‘making it’; for me it is about a wonderfully exciting journey that I get to share with some pretty amazing people.
Q. What advice would you give business owners starting out?
Build through passion. The two best pieces of advice that my dad gave me are: “You are here for a good time, not a long time” and “If you do something for the money you will fail, if you do something that you are passionate about you will always succeed”. I honestly believe this: success can be measured in a number of ways—but the most important measurement is if it really makes you smile.
