I love hearing how people (admittedly, women in particular) begin their entrepreneurial ventures when it flows from their passion. I asked Turquoise Lane founder Suzie Thomas what lead her down the proverbial turquoise lane…
‘You asked me how it all began…Well Its always been a dream of mine. A burning desire that has always been with me. I spent most of my younger years surfing, camping and exploring our magical country whenever we could get enough money together to go on another family road trip. My father raised me from when I was 10 months old along with my 3 year old brother. We had a childhood filled with love, adventure and endless camping trips. I honestly believe this is where my love for travel, turquoise water and adventuring comes from.
I have been fortunate enough to have the belief installed in me from a young age to work hard and chase your dreams. I guess I’ve had the work hard bit down pat but probably haven’t been chasing my own dreams. I feel like I’d be taking more of a risk not doing Turquoise Lane, than doing it. I’ve worked really hard to get here and I guess its my courage finally catching up with my passion that has made me take the leap and I’m LOVING it. This is me. The turquoise lane girl is me in a nutshell.
