Adrian's entrepreneurial journey is a testament to resilience and determination.
Echoing Nelson Mandela's wisdom, he believes it's not our successes but how we rise after each fall that defines us.
Adrian's path hasn't been easy—starting from scratch, building businesses from the ground up, and facing new setbacks as success neared.
Yet, each cycle of failure and reinvention has taught him invaluable lessons.
Adrian emphasises the importance of staying true to your moral compass and being the main character in your own story. He shares that true success isn't about having financial backing but about passion, grit, and sometimes sheer charisma.
Reflecting on his experiences in both corporate and entrepreneurial settings, Adrian realised that building success for others while reaping no rewards for himself was not sustainable.
His key takeaway? Don't sell your soul for success.
Keep your integrity intact, and focus on the legacy you leave behind.
Adrian's journey is a powerful reminder that the path to success is a continuous process of falling, learning, and rising stronger.
It's not just about reaching the destination but about the legacy you build along the way. 🌟

Doing things you question? Yeah, yeah, they're easier ways to do things, let's put it that way. Yeah, You know, there's also saying that says it's about the it's about the journey and not the destination necessarily. And life is, you know, what is your destiny? You're constantly on a constant journey through life. Anyway, but sometimes, you know, from the outside looking in, people just see some of the successes that you've enjoyed, but they possibly don't appreciate the journey that you've had and all the failures that you've had along the way. And my journey has definitely not been, not been an easy one. You know, my life has been full of, let's say, cycles of failures. Lessons learned. Yeah. Fresh strategizing. You know, and, and, and you, you take up, take up the, the bets and then you, you, you're on the journey again to try and the reach that point of success. And it's been a constant cycle for me of just creating something out of nothing. And, and I'll explain what I mean by that. You know, it, it's, it's one thing to, to come from money, to have a lot of money backing and you decide you're launching a business and you're going to do this thing. It's a little bit easier. But when you come from absolutely nothing and you don't have a sent to your name and you're trying to build a business and you're trying to invent and patent and do all these fancy things that require money. Wow. And sometimes all you have is your passion, your determination, your grits, you know, and a lot of the times you can close the deal just with sheer charisma because you you don't have anything else to offer in that moment. But miraculously was God intends it, You know, it works out and, and, and, and you. In some way with it, but you know, my life hasn't always been with the company. I didn't work for corporate. I did work for smaller companies, entrepreneurial companies and and I think that's where I did a lot of my falling down because of at least three companies that are built up from nothing, basically from my started them off in my garage, you know, but with big investors in there. So they want my companies, but as soon as those companies start to make money and they became successful. I was shown the door and. I remember thinking to myself, how can I achieve so much success for other people and yet repro reward for myself? Wow, you know, and then part of the lessons learned that it was an important lesson right there. And you know, one day I just realized you never really going to succeed if all you're doing is being a pawn in somebody else's story. Sure, you being you're almost like a backup act to somebody else's thing. If you want to succeed, you need to have your own. Story and you need to be the main character in your own story. That way you can achieve success. Then it's yours. It's yours to keep, It's yours forever. And you know, that is just, it's, it's been an extremely rewarding journey starting a company, running a company. Definitely hasn't been easy. Yeah. And you know, with all the falling down, there are times when you question your way of doing things. You question. Yeah, Yeah. They're easier ways to do things. Let's put it that way. Sure. But you've got to be very, very careful that you don't end up selling your soul to the devil in the process. Sure, because success is great. We all want success, but not at any cost. You still gotta keep your sort of your moral fiber intact. In the process, sure, then it's then it's worthwhile, then you sleep well at night etc etc. But so we've falling down, you shouldn't lose heart and start to look for the easy ways out. Yes, just change direction, restrategize, regroup and and and forge ahead. So yeah, it's important in this journey of of falling down and getting up to keep your moral compass intact because you know, long after you've achieved success, because you surely will achieve success sooner or later, but long after you've achieved it and it's maybe not the be all and end all for you anymore. You know, when you finally meet your maker, one day, your moral fibre is about all you going to have left, Yes.

We’re interviewing some of Australia’s most inspiring family business founders for our upcoming book, and one conversation in particular stuck with me.
Picture this: a once-thriving enterprise on the brink of collapse. A global recession hitting hard. A scramble to keep the lights on.
And yet…
They refused to fold.
✅ This founder talked about:
• Hustling to secure cash flow (the true lifeblood of any business)
• Taking on the risk others wouldn’t—borrowing against the house to keep going
• Bouncing back and forging even stronger partnerships when everything seemed lost
The moral?
💡 Resilience isn’t just about enduring the rough patches—it’s about coming out the other side with bigger ideas, deeper relationships, and a stronger sense of purpose.
Stay tuned for more stories from real entrepreneurs who’ve weathered the storms—and built legacies that last.
#FamilyBusiness#Resilience#Entrepreneurship#Leadership#AustraliaBusiness
Some moments capture the essence of legacy perfectly. Today, I'm filled with gratitude standing between two pillars of my life - my father, who instilled unwavering values in me, and my son, who represents our future.
My journey as a first-generation entrepreneur wasn't built on pressure, but on the strong foundation of moral values my father carefully laid. These principles guide every business decision I make today.
What strikes me most is how naturally my son is absorbing these same values, watching and learning as we build something meaningful. This isn't just about creating a business; it's about passing down a legacy of integrity, hard work, and purpose.
To my father - thank you for teaching me that success without values is hollow.
To my son - your curiosity and joy remind me why we're building this legacy.
True entrepreneurship isn't just about profits; it's about creating value systems that transcend generations. When you have strong moral foundations, building a business becomes a journey of purpose rather than pressure.

Lessons from an Immigrant Father
My father, an immigrant from Scotland who grew up in government housing, taught me invaluable life lessons that have shaped my entrepreneurial journey:
Persistence
"Never give up," he'd say, channeling Winston Churchill. This mantra has been crucial in growing VisionSpark , my company of 13+ years. When faced with obstacles, I learned to find solutions and push forward.
Hard Work and Dedication
Dad modeled tireless dedication:Pursued his education for 8 years at night, earning both a business degree and an MBA
Took on challenging clients, sometimes working for years to land a sale
Earned recognition from our pastor for his commitment to providing for our family. As an entrepreneur without a steady paycheck, these lessons in perseverance have been invaluable.
Integrity Above All
One story stands out:A major client (80% of his quota) asked him to falsify a letter for tax purposes. Without hesitation, he refused, risking the account
Result: He gained more business and praise from superiors for his unwavering ethics

In the world of family businesses, success is often attributed to a mysterious "secret sauce."
But what really sets thriving multi-generational companies apart?
Our family business has stood the test of time, and I've discovered that our secret sauce is a unique blend of:
1. Unwavering commitment to our core values
2. Fostering a culture of innovation and adaptability
3. Nurturing strong relationships within the family and with our team
These ingredients have allowed us to navigate challenges, seize opportunities, and build a lasting legacy.
But the true magic lies in how these elements work together, creating a synergy that propels us forward.
As I reflect on our journey, I'm reminded that the secret sauce of family business success is not a one-size-fits-all formula, but a delicate balance of tradition and innovation, rooted in the strength of our relationships.
I'm curious to hear from other multi-generational entrepreneurs – what's the unique blend that has fueled your family business's success?
