In that first year, I'd come off a
00:00:01
salary of 44,000. I turned over a
00:00:04
million dollars and was 50% profitable.
00:00:06
I didn't know what to do with the bloody
00:00:07
money. I just thought, "Oh my god, I'm
00:00:09
I'm actually really good at this."
00:00:11
[laughter]
00:00:11
>> Oh my god. Oh my god. I know. But when
00:00:14
my accountant rang and she said, "Oh my
00:00:16
god, look what you've achieved." It was
00:00:18
an Sherry from the Westpack Bank. I
00:00:19
remember her saying to me, "Anna
00:00:20
Streiten, you're nothing but a bloody
00:00:22
trader." And I said, "Yeah, I probably
00:00:24
am. I love to trade. I love a deal. I
00:00:27
love a deal."
00:00:28
>> Did it get better than that or was that
00:00:29
it? No, it got stronger. It got
00:00:30
stronger. Yeah.
00:00:31
>> You must have thought you were
00:00:32
invincible at that point.
00:00:33
>> It's hard not to, isn't it? When you're
00:00:35
doing so damn well. It was all
00:00:37
relationship based. I remember Kmart New
00:00:39
Zealand giving me a Christmas present
00:00:41
for being such an awesome supplier to
00:00:42
work with.
