Hi I’m Rachel, I am Australian.

A little bit about me…I have two web businesses that are US focused and one Web-Software company that helps build Web 2.0 communities (1 business, 2 start up phase)…I live in Ozzieland for lifestyle reasons and work 100% in the US online space and have been doing so since 1999. I love Amercians, I have always been impressed by their command with words and social ease in which they interact with each other, collectively as a group.

Twenty things about me

• I don’t get complicated jokes with punch lines (especially my husbands or father-in-laws ones).
• I have been converted from an insane, ‘dominate the world’ workhorse into a relax, easy going, fun mom who acts her kid age.
• I am not scared to meet people face to face anymore, outside of my computer and all that was business.
• I used to love surfing my mini-mal, but I still now do but in my dreams.
• I used to love shopping and make up and I still now do but again in my dreams.
• I am a vicious researcher of any trend or market that I am obsessed about.
• I have discovered being a mother to be the most fulfilling job in the world. It used to take me 50 employees to say thank you to give me some slight sense of fulfillment, but a smile from my little man and pooooof I am floating
• I love my husband as a life partner, he is Noel in Notebook and as a business partner, he is my JFK
• I used to despise blogging ‘what the hell is that’, when they first came out and guess what I am obsessed now by blogging.
• I admire mothers…moms are AMAZING. Their stories are AMAZING. I dreamed of providing a voice in Minti because mothers are SMART and we need to learn from them.
• I love dogs, I have two of them, both Bichon x Maltese (why this mix, my husbands allergies aren’t affected by their wool coat)
• I have a loud laugh, but my husband says I am likeable.
• I find that big things comes in small packages to be true.
• I am a science, tech and business geek.
• I am cool when it comes to being one of the boys kickin the footy (ALF Aussie Rules), surfing, music and clothes and can be very tough in a boardroom of men.
• I used to be wild and out there, now I am straight laced and in there.
• I like warm people, but also introverts too, genuine people that have guts.
• I like to belong and feel like I am making a difference.
• I like smart comedy, but also funniest home videos sends me into weeing fits of laughter.
• But, most of all I am on a mission to set up a dynasty for my kids.
