BUSINESSES

Published 7/02/24
The defintion of “business” is the activity of buying and selling goods and services and work that you do to earn money.
Th definition of “initiative” is the ability to assess and initiate things independently.
The early settlers brought knowledge, skills and initiative with them to their new country. When faced with a blank slate, the responsibility for making a success or failure rested on their shoulders.
Traditionally the population formed two main groups, men and women of the land and town people. Both groups had a shared view of the necessity to overcome any obstacles which stood in the way of their livelihood, such as the money needed to pay for food, a place to live, clothing, etc.
Some saw a need in the community and believed they had the solution to meet that need. Many had hopes of achieving some personal wealth from their efforts. These people we refer to as business men and women. They took the lead in projects for their own betterment, as well as the betterment of the district as a whole. Not much has really changed today in that regard.
Early residents had to make arrangements for their own transport and make their own roads. Some drove their own bullock drays and there are many stories about wealthy farmers who began as bullock drivers. Farmers needed to be hands-on at all times in their dawn till dark, physically demanding and skilful work. Saddlers, blacksmiths and wheelwrights were necessary to service their needs. Shopkeepers passed through very difficult times until their businesses were thoroughly established and they had gained the trust and custom of farmers and residents of the town. Many faced insolvency and some stood their ground over and over again until they became successful.
We owe a debt of gratitude to those determined, persevering and enterprising people.
