Will Charters Towers become the most entrepreneurial rural town in Australia? Well, it certainly looks like that is possible.
Having spent the week hanging out with locals, talking to local business leaders and schools, I have realised one thing - that this town is ready to choose entrepreneurship to sit along their traditional industries of tourism, agriculture and mining.

Next week I will be talking at a number of Schools in Charters Towers about "my story". It's quite confronting to be talking about myself, and where I come from, as I have been brought up to not do that.
Talking yourself up, or 'big noting' is incredibly uncool and if you do it, you are quite simply a "wanker". Definitely in the country this is the general consensus anyway.
