💫 Redefining Growth — The Circular Way! 🌎
Lately, I’ve been exploring circular economy frameworks and came across something that really clicked — the Amsterdam City Doughnut Model by Kate Raworth 🍩✨
After going through loads of sustainability models, this one stood out because it’s not just about being “less bad” — it’s about thriving. It connects environmental limits 🌱 with social wellbeing ❤️ — something I truly believe in for Deals Colony.
As part of my circular economy studies, I’m now reimagining the next growth phase of Deals Colony as:
♻️ A space that turns passion and surplus into regenerative impact
🌿 A wellbeing-focused hub where people, creativity, and purpose come together
🤝 A model that helps others design circular, purpose-driven projects aligned with the Global Goals
It’s amazing how ideas like this connect back to what we’ve been building all along — a Happy Platform for Circular Impact 💚
(Stay tuned — I’ll be sharing visuals of these frameworks soon!)
✨ What’s your take — can business growth and wellbeing go hand in hand? Mesage me if i can be of any help :)

💚 From Hobby to Impact — We’re Evolving!
Every small project — from our Zero-Waste Christmas gift-wrapping by students to creative upcycling — has been leading to something bigger. 🌱
We’re now stepping into Phase 3: Circular Innovation.
Our goal? To turn passion and surplus into regenerative impact — empowering people and partners to achieve the Global Goals for health, equality, and sustainability. 🌍✨
🎥 Watch this short video that explains why circular thinking matters for our future…
This next chapter is about scaling Deals Colony without losing the heart — continuing to teach, create, and give back while building Australia’s first circular innovation community.
💬 Comment below: What’s one small way you reduce waste or repurpose at home?

👏 Indeed a great initiative! It's heartening to see someone stand up for this space and champion talented women who often face hurdles restarting their careers—whether after maternity leave, becoming a new mum, or navigating shifting priorities and commitments.
💡 On a similar note, we're developing a CSR-aligned program and thrilled to support career grants for women. We're inviting network organisations to partner with us on our “Women Turning Ideas Into Impact” training initiative.
🌟 Launching soon in Moreton Bay and online, each $5,000 sponsorship transforms five women's lives through:
- A 12-week mentorship (2 hours/week) to help launch a passion-led side career
- A 6-week paid project matched to their skills and lifestyle needs
- A flexible career model designed to work around family life—not the other way around
🤝 Want to co-host, sponsor, or scale impact with us? Let’s turn purpose into progress—together.
No Queensland woman should be locked out of work due to the cost of job-seeking.
That’s why we’ve teamed up with Future Women to support Queensland women who want to re-enter the workforce.
Whether it’s workwear, childcare, training, recertification, tools or tech - grants of up to $4,999 will be available to eligible Queensland women to help reignite their careers and assist with the costs involved in being ‘work ready’.
Applications open on 3 November.

“We’re Doing What We Can, with What We Have”
🌟 Every small action counts.
Our students are learning how to repurpose, reduce waste, and wrap gifts responsibly using leftover cardboard, paper, and natural rope.
It may look simple — but it’s a hands-on lesson in sustainability, design, and circular economy thinking.
This project, in collaboration with Ruhaan (Founder of HHHJ) and Deals Colony, reminds us that doing what we can with what we have can make a real difference 💚

Our entrepreneur journey was started in May, 2014.
Back in May 2014, a woman with no business experience – but unlimited passion– opened her first one day store in Brisbane.
The idea was simple - make money by doing what you love and work from anywhere in your own time without compromising on your lifestyle.
She listed down things she enjoys. Then she stared trialing them to see if that idea can convert into a business.
Now she is running multiple businesses and delivering her products across the globe.
She is the happiest women in the world!
Monika is an experienced IT professional & business consultant with a strong analytical background based in Australia. Her work focuses on converting a hobby into business opportunities. She applies various strategies and solutions for her clients in order to help them convert their hobby into a business.
She enjoys exploring her skills and experience to each project she is involved in. From creative problem solving and innovative ideation, to integrated and collaborative strategisation, she always brings her strong eye for detail and has a positive attitude in everything that she does.
She is in the process of developing an online portal to teach others her full proof model that worked for her. Soon she will launch training courses where everyone can start as a hobby that can later be converted into a business idea.
If you’re looking for help to take your business idea to the next level, but aren’t sure which direction to take, feel free to schedule an initial consultation.
