Great stuff Greater Bendigo Snake Control
Happy Birthday Greater Bendigo Snake Control !
On this day 1 year ago I decided to take the plunge and fly solo with my snake catching.
It's been a really great year and has far outweighed my expectations.
In this time I developed a strong social media following, a website, merchandise, interviews, workshops, networks and caught around 70 snakes during the season.
When I first started this journey I was extremely stressed about what would lie ahead, and if I would even get a snake call at all!
During this time I also lost my full time job, which was funding the setup of my business.
So far I have managed to survive, pay bills and provide a full time snake removal and wildlife education service to the Bendigo region and beyond.
There were a few tough moments when I was the victim of bullying, but I soldiered on and persevered.
I want to extend a huge heart felt thankyou to everyone I have met , and those who have supported me along the way.
This 1 year anniversary also considers with myself being accepted into the next stage of the NEIS scheme, and I now have a fantastic mentor behind me to help make my business dreams come true.
With so much unexpected growth and success in the first 12 months I'm very excited to see what 2022 has in store for me and my little business.
