The Balancing Act

Proprietor of the Olive Café, Marie Tronecone, describes her busy lifestyle

The hardest thing I’ve ever done was …  Opening my own business

Your life/business philosophy   To treat others how I would like to be treated

At school I didn’t enjoy it at all … and didn’t do so well

I wish … can I have three? 
One, for my children to be healthy
Two, for them to be happy
And three to be the best mother I can be

How long have you lived in the area?  40 years

Hobbies / Passions?  Walking, tennis, swimming and dancing

I’m good at talking and being there if I’m needed

I’m bad at listening (sometimes) and not looking after myself

I often wonder … let me count the ways
IF I never had children
IF I never got married
IF the world was at peace
IF I didn’t lose my father at a young age

Describe your business … what makes it different/better Everything we serve must be affordable. And I will not sell anything that I would not eat or drink myself

Short term goals? To go on a long holiday with my family

How long in current business?  15 months

Who has been a mentor? Any other business influences?  My sisters

What do you love about your work? I get to talk to people all day - plus work of course

Your latest project is Making my coffee shop one of the best in the CBD

What you would improve about the area/or your work? I would like to see improved parking and have more outdoor seating
