The Collins family's story is a testament to Australian ingenuity, spanning an incredible 160 years in North Queensland. Bram Collins shares his family's fascinating journey from cattle ranchers to tourism pioneers.

It all began in 1862 when a wandering bullock led to the discovery of Spring Creek station. This chance encounter set the stage for generations of Collins family cattle farming. But they didn't rest on their laurels. Over time, the family shifted their focus to something entirely different - showcasing the breathtaking Undara Lava Tubes to visitors from across the globe.

Bram's varied background as a stockman, world traveller, and tourism operator gives him a unique take on rural Australian life and entrepreneurship. His tale vividly illustrates how a family business can adapt and flourish over more than 150 years.

Andrew Walsh's journey from actuary to tech leader is quite the story. He co-founded a software company in a garage, fuelled by meat pies and a vision for web-based software when most of us were still using dial-up.

Here's what we can learn from Andrew's experience:

Adaptability is key: He shifted from developer to CEO, adjusting his leadership approach as the company expanded.

Think big: Starting in Australia, he set his sights on the UK and beyond, targeting markets with strong savings cultures and regulatory frameworks.

Stay nimble: As the company grew, Andrew fought against becoming too rigid, aiming to keep the organisation flexible.

Trust your instincts: Being overly cautious sometimes held them back from grabbing opportunities.

People matter: He understood the importance of having the right team for each growth stage.

What's next for Andrew? He's looking forward to family time, charity work, and possibly another business venture. It just goes to show that in the tech world, there's always a new challenge around the corner.

So, how do you reckon companies can balance growth while keeping that innovative spark alive?

As we kick off the New Year, let's take a leaf out of Troy Jaques' book. His journey from Wallaby to business leader shows us the power of reinvention 🏉💼

Troy's story is a great example of adapting to change:

- He went from professional rugby to running a cleaning business
- Then shifted from cleaning to security and maintenance
- He's built a team of 320 people across several cities
- He puts a big focus on community involvement and giving back

The main lesson? Success isn't about sticking to one path. It's about being open to new chances and always learning.

Troy's advice hits home: "If I'm not good at something, I'm going to put the best person in that position." It's all about knowing your strengths and weaknesses, just like in rugby.

As you set your goals for the year, think about how you can use Troy's approach. What new skills could you pick up? Where might you need to delegate? How can you support your local community?

Remember, it's not just about what you gain, but the value you create for others. That's what real success looks like.

So, what's your game plan for 2025?

"Knowing every aspect of your business is key to credibility as a leader. While it’s great to delegate and empower your team to master systems, there’s value in staying informed enough to step in when needed. Leadership is about balance—trusting your team but staying sharp enough to lead from the front when it counts."
