Hands up, when was the last time you scanned in with the Covid tracer app? Other than at the Lake Hayes A&P show, where a burly farmer in a white coat thrust a QR code under my nose, I have to admit I’ve been inexcusably lazy in recent months. Edward Snowden has a greater digital footprint. I discovered I hadn’t even enabled the Bluetooth feature, which was introduced December 11. And I’m not alone. While there is no regional breakdown available, the number of daily scans nationwide is down a fifth from its peak in September. Last Monday, there were 515,759 scans across New Zealand, compared to the all-time high of 2.5 million on Sept 4. Back then, Dr Ashley Bloomfield was King of the World. He was like Leo with his arms outstretched on the front of the Titanic, if Leo had also been an expert in icebergs, navigation and the hubris of labelling ships ‘unsinkable’. The Ash could have told us to strap lemons to our foreheads, and we’d have made a few memes about it, and then gone to buy some lemons. In contrast, his appeal last week for people to start using the app again has been largely ignored.

Thousands travelled to Cardrona’s Robrosa Station for the Shapeshifter concert on Saturday. Hamish Roberge, Josh Swain, Tim Reid (from TomTom Productions) along with locals Sandra, Kylee & Kendalle.

So how have we gone from literally disinfecting our groceries before taking them into our houses, to being so complacent we can’t even take 10 seconds to scan?

It feels like we’ve beaten Covid, doesn’t it? Like the risk has gone. When there is an obvious threat, we act, but when it’s a bit more theoretical, we’re back to ‘she’ll be right’. Add to that the fact we’ve had the rest of the world blowing smoke up our collective arse for how Jacinda has handled the pandemic, and it’s easy to become relaxed and, dare I say it, a little smug. But, with these new variants at our borders, especially the more transmissible variant from the UK, which recorded 1,564 deaths on one day last week to take its total deaths past 100,000, the risk is real. Jacinda told The Associated Press recently the goal of eliminating Covid was driven by fear, from the early realisation that NZ’s health system couldn’t cope with a big outbreak. That remains the case, especially in places like Queenstown. I don’t want to start 2021 as a doomsayer, pointing to dark waters on the horizon where a big, cold iceberg looms, but stopping the next potential community outbreak quickly and efficiently is crucial, especially for the Queenstown economy too. Even more so if the trans-Tasman bubble goes ahead. So, I’m going to start scanning again, and I encourage you to, too. There’s a vaccine, so the end is in sight. Hey, here’s an idea. Once the elderly and the vulnerable have been vaccinated, how about we distribute the vaccine based on how often you use the app?

COMMUNITY NOTES Drax Project and BROODS coming to Erik’s Fish and Chips Reading Challenge was a great success in 2020 encouraging students to read during a tough Coronet Peak year.

This year we are blessed with a plethora of major musical acts performing in the area, from SIX60 and Fat Freddy at Rhythm and Alps in late December to Gin Wigmore and Dragon at Gibbston Valley. Coronet Peak have also announced that Drax Project and BROODS are coming to Coronet Peak in March

Drax Project and BROODS are two of New Zealand’s biggest acts and will take centre stage at Coronet Peak on Sunday 21 March in an all-ages gig.

Erik’s Reading Challenge idea is simple, every time a student reads 5 chapters in a book they received a free kids meal–[that’s ½ scoop of chips and tomato sauce, plus either a hot dog or 4 fish bites, valued at $6.50]. Erik’s were thrilled with the take up of the challenge by local families and the number of students who have received vouchers for free kids meals over the year In 2020 they gave 9 family holidays in Queenstown, Wanaka and Dunedin, with meals and adventures included. Plus 100’s of kid’s meal deals. Lots of adventures from local companies have also been awarded thanks to I Fly, Puzzle World, K Jet, Altitude Tours and Kiwi Birdlife Park

Drax Project has had a whirlwind few years with their music topping charts around the globe. Their self-titled debut album dominated airwaves and included hit singles like ‘Woke up Late’ featuring Hailee Steinfeld and ‘Catching Feelings’ featuring SIX60. Brother- sister duo BROODS (Caleb and Georgia Nott) are one of the most celebrated young bands to emerge out of New Zealand in the last decade. The pair recently returned from LA and this will be one of their first appearances back on home soil. The double header presented by Corona, is set to be one of the biggest music events held at Coronet Peak and the first major gig during summer operations. Coronet Peak Ski Area Manager Nigel Kerr says he is stoked to secure such amazing Kiwi acts and is hoping they will draw a crowd from far and wide, especially being over Otago Anniversary weekend. “We’ve hosted some awesome artists up Coronet Peak during the winter season and hope to replicate the same atmosphere this summer.”

What’s On Gibbston Valley Winery Summer Concert There are still tickets available for this years concert and with five iconic kiwi acts taking to the stage its going to be a big day out. The Gibbston Valley Winery Summer Concert features Gin Wigmore, Dragon, The Jordan Luck Band, Stellar* and Hello Sailor. When: January 23rd from 10am to 6pm Where: 1820 Gibbston Highway

Tickets cost $80+ booking fee and include a Peak Gondola Sightseeing Pass, while return bus transport is available for $15+ booking fee. Registration for pre-sale tickets is available now at https://www.ticketfairy.com/event/ coronetpeak-drax-project-broods/ General ticket sales went live from Thursday 14 January from 4pm.

Community Update WAKATIPU ACTIVE TRANSPORT Way2Go (QLDC, NZTA and ORC) are pushing forward with the detailed design for the first stage of the Wakatipu Active Transport routes, which will overlap and complement the existing Queenstown Trail network. Seven routes have been prioritised and QLDC is currently seeking your feedback. First up is a sealed track from Shotover Country to the Old Lower Shotover Bridge and up Jim’s Way. Currently it is proposed to go as far as a very dangerous road crossing (SH6 opposite Bunnings) with no provision to cross the highway. The Queenstown Trails Trust is pushing W2G and NZTA hard for a grade separated crossing (bridge) over the cutting from Jim’s Way to the QLDC reserve land behind Glenda Drive. This would create a link to the bus stops and existing trail on the southern side of SH6. Find out more about the Wakatipu Active Transport project below and be sure to have your say. letstalk.qldc.govt.nz/wakatipu-active-travel

Feedback deadline is 27th January 2021

Often referred to as the best open water swim event in New Zealand and with swimming lengths from 200m up 10km. There’s something for every ability. This year the 5km is proving hugely popular! There is a limit overall entries to 460 across all six distances and if you love swimming is a must do Where: Lake Wanaka When: Saturday 30th January More information swimrubyisland.co.nz

QLDC Libraries Team - Summer Holiday Book Recommendations In search of a book to see you through the summer? Look no further than your local Library branch. Here are some top suggestions from the experts, The Queenstown Library Librarians! @qldclibraries

The Woman in Cabin 10

“In one moment, every drop of blood in my body was brought to a stop… there, as if it had at that moment sprung out of the earth…stood the figure of a solitary woman, dressed from head to foot in white.” Written in 1859, Wilkie Collins’s “Woman in White” is considered to be one of the first and finest in the genre of mystery novels. The underlying theme of his book is the unequal position of married women in law at that time. A woman could be locked away in a lunatic asylum simply on the whim of her husband or father, and if she was wealthy all her assets passed automatically to her husband on her death. The novel explores the issues of identity, insanity and the law of the land. If an atmospheric, gothic mystery appeals to you then this enduring classic is still well worth a read.

This gripping thriller follows Lo, an aspiring travel journalist who has just experienced a traumatic break in at her London home. Keen to get away and eager to take a step up the career ladder, Lo accepts the offer to attend a press launch on a luxury cruise ship.

Know My Name: A Memoir

The Tea Rose

In 2015 Chanel Miller was sexually assaulted. In 2016 her victim impact statement went viral internationally; the world knew her only as Emily Doe. Through this book Chanel Miller reclaims her name, her identity, and her power. Miller goes into detail about her experiences of sexual assault, the drawn out court case that followed, and the aftermath of both. It is a beautifully articulation of thoughts, feelings, and experiences shared by people all over the world. Her writing is evocative, relatable, and necessarily confronting. This book, and its author are an inspiration.

The first book in a trilogy, ‘The Tea Rose’ is a beautiful story of a young girl coming of age in the rough poverty of East London in the late 1880s. Jack the Ripper stalks the streets, dockworkers’ strike, factory girls work their hands to the bone, and destitution lurks around every corner.

Nicholas Searle

Intrigue, suspense and a compelling sense of unfolding tragedy make this thriller one of those mysteries you have to unravel. Roy is a lifelong compulsive conman who embarks on what will be his final masterpiece; but his dark past is about to catch up with him. Clues are subtly introduced as the story winds back in time - revealing the menacing origins of Roy’s deception. The final outcome is as shocking as it is unexpected. Darkly humorous and at times deeply disturbing, this cleverly constructed novel is guaranteed to keep one guessing.

This book has now been made into a very enjoyable movie by the same name, starring Helen Mirren and Ian McKellen.

Ruth Ware

It was supposed to be the trip of a lifetime; cruising around the Norwegian fjords, seeing the spectacular Northern Lights and enjoying fine dining and first-class service. The trip does not go as planned and one-night Lo is the sole witness to a crime that puts her in immediate danger – and she realises with dread that she is trapped on board the vessel with a murderer. This fast-paced page-turner keeps you guessing - and will leave you wanting to read more of Ruth Wares psychological thrillers!

Jennifer Donnelly

Facing tragedy and uncertainty, Fiona Finnegan must make the most of the hand she has been dealt; seeking security and prosperity, she journeys across the Atlantic in search of new horizons. Against the glittering backdrop and pioneering spirit of New York, she encounters joy, pain, success and failure as she forges ahead into the unknown. Donnelly’s book is a true masterpiece! And one that can be enjoyed again and again (and again). A well-read favourite.

Lynette Noni

This YA series is SO good. We follow 16-yearold Alex Jennings on a crazy otherworldly adventure, where she discovers hidden talents, strengths and abilities that she was unaware she had. Getting stuck in a parallel universe, Alex attends a high school equivalent until the one person who can send her back to Earth, returns. However, this school and the teens that attend, are far from normal… as hers is a school for the gifted. With action packed fight scenes, DRAGONS, magic, and a great supporting cast of friends and enemies, you’ll want to visit this parallel universe again and again.

LAKES WEEKLY BULLETIN

Southern DHB urges the public to ‘scan wherever they can’ Do you know where you were this time last week? That is the question Southern DHB’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr Nigel Millar and Medical Officer of Health, Dr Michael Butchard are asking the public. With the UK and South African strains of COVID -19 now in isolation facilities in New Zealand and the ongoing increasing number of cases in many countries, they are urging the public to remember to scan QR codes wherever they go. Dr Butchard says these variants are a lot more contagious and the risk of them spreading in the community if they escape from managed isolation has increased significantly. “Our isolation facilities have stringent infection, prevention and control protocols, but we are all human and a breach could happen. If we have a community case of one of the new variants it could spread very quickly, and unless we know where the public have been and who they have been with, it will be extremely hard to contain. “The faster contact tracers are provided with information about where people have been in the previous 14 days, the faster we can get ahead of the virus and break the chain of transmission. Please don’t wait until the next community case to start scanning again - if there is a case discovered today, we may need to know the places you visited in the past 14 days.” Most people if asked where they were this time last week won’t be able to remember, and Dr Millar says he also can’t stress enough how important it is to keep a record of where you have been and who you have been with. “We’re at a critical point, and we all need to work together to keep New Zealand free of COVID-19 in the community. I’m extremely concerned that the public are not doing this simple thing to help keep us all safe, and potentially avoid another lockdown. “Until we are able to vaccinate enough of the population to get herd immunity we all need to work together to reduce the risk of spread should we get community cases. “We need the whole team of 300,000 people in Southern to be on their game to help us get through. We cannot relax and we probably have the whole year to get through before enough people will be vaccinated for us to be safe. “This doesn’t only mean scanning QR codes, but also includes remembering to wash our hands, staying home if we’re sick and getting a test if we have any cold or flu symptoms.”

CBD by Miranda Spary

FOODIE

Miranda Spary is a tired, old, has been columnist that we feel sorry for. She used to write a weekly book column in the old Queenstown Times which was read more for the local gossip in it than the book part. She is quite lazy and very grateful if readers send in ideas about what’s been happening locally on miranda@queenstown.co.nz

No one likes being sick or broken, but the staff at Lakes District Hospital do a brilliant job of making your time there much nicer - there was loads of feedback from locals who wanted to add their voice to Jani Halliday’s praise of the team there. And another group that do a great job and show terrific team spirit is the Queenstown Airport mob. I love our funny little airport, and knowing so many of the people who work there. In the old days when friends visited from overseas, they’d be stunned that the security guys knew my name, and the cafes knew what coffee I like. Loads of airport staff turned up on Friday night to help set up the pavilion for the Lake Hayes Show . The airport has had a lot of flack about its expansion plans, but the people who work there are a lot of fun and very community minded. I asked why we’d never been given the results of the survey about the airport expansion and was told QLDC did actually send it out in June finally, although not to this Mrs Crabby of Lake Hayes who filled it in. If you didn’t get it either , look up QLDC publishes airport impact assessments. 4400 people responded to it, and the document claims lots of people support the three options that would increase flights and tourism - I haven’t met any of them!! If you’re a supporter, I’d be interested in knowing your reasons. Interesting reading, though. And if you want REALLY interesting reading about airports, do look up Joe Bennett’s story about Tarras Airport - he hits the nail on the head, and is sadly accurate about Queenstown, and our fate if we don’t stop insisting on growth at all costs. I was at the pavilion keeping notes for the judges. I do it every year, in the vain hope that I will be able to steer their eyes in the direction of my own entries and win a prize. So far, the judges have remained unswayable. My flower arrangement and very superior dahlia both went home empty-handed, and my custard square won a second prize. There were only two entries, so it was actually LAST. By this time next year, I’m hoping to have got over my disappointment. I thought of entering the children’s section, but they had done better baking than me, too. Never mind, the show was a huge success, and if you have lots of spare money, do send some to the Lake Hayes A@P Show - there’s a donation button to help keep the show running each year. It’s been going since 1904 (minus a couple of years when wars ruined life for locals) and has always been an important event in the Wakatipu calendar. Over the hill is a funny little town called Wanaka - they have a bigger show than us, but I still think ours is best (don’t tell Wanaka people that). I was there this week to finish off a travel story for SCOUT magazine. Even though I misspent much of my youth on that side of the hill where there was only one pub and the Queenstown policeman hardly ever went there to check on underage drinkers, I hadn’t realised how much Wanaka had changed. They’ve got loads of new activities - The Hook is a restaurant where hysterically excited children are catching large salmon from beautifully landscaped ponds. The food looked great, and children could play happily in the enormous and excellent sandpit. For more grown up and quieter excitement, a hike and picnic at Minaret Station was utter bliss. 10 women flew up to the lodge, and 10 husbands will be getting the message loud and clear that if they want a happy marriage, they are simply going to have to treat their wives to a stay there. We hiked down through hillsides covered in flowers and waterfalls and other things that make you want to sing The Sound of Music songs, and ended up in a shady glade by the river where a mountain of whitebait patties and lambchops had been barbequed for us. So much bliss in one day - can that even be legal?

What’s on

Jackie Bristow – Local artist for the world. For Jackie Bristow, the lure of the road has informed her music in ways that don’t limit her to any specific location on the globe. Like the classic singersongwriters who have inspired her, Jackie has made her travels--which are both literal and metaphorical--a major part of her free-roaming subject matter. Like Joni Mitchell, Shawn Colvin and Bonnie Raitt, Jackie has created a body of work that will endure, recording with her long-time musical associate, Australian-born guitarist and producer Mark Punch, and writing finely shaded songs that are at once personal and universal. After refining her art in Gore, Jackie crossed the ditch to Sydney, and then to Los Angeles, onto Austin, Texas with its reputation as the live music capital of the world before moving to one of the centres of American music, Nashville, Tennessee in 2017. Already five superb albums into a career that is marked by her intelligence, passion and love for the song--which includes her ravishingly beautiful singer-songwriter masterpiece, 2016’s Shot of Gold-- Jackie continues to learn from Nashville, where singersongwriters, country stars and Americana avatars mingle. In early 2020, Jackie returned home to New Zealand to live and has settled in Arrowtown as a base and once international travel resumes will continue to tour the world. She’s built upon an impressive list of achievements that include opening for Bonnie Raitt in 2013 and 2017, as well as opening slots for Foreigner, the Steve Miller Band, Boz Scaggs and Tommy Emmanuel. She says touring with Bonnie Raitt--one of her heroes--was a life-affirming experience. Jackie felt, she said, welcomed. She’s a true artist--a world-class songwriter and singer whose recordmaking abilities have resulted in a body of work that has global appeal. By immersing herself in the deep waters of American music, whether it comes from Los Angeles, Texas, Nashville or Memphis, and bringing her New Zealand southern roots Jackie transcends the local and becomes an artist for the whole world.

QT BUSINESS

This cake-making duo are taking a sweet new approach to business written by Bethany Rogers

They say that when the going gets tough, the tough get going and that couldn’t be more true for this dynamic baking duo. Jenny Lamond and Anouva Settin have been creating delicious cakes and biscuits in Queenstown together for more than a decade. Now, they’re launching a new business together, Zest Cakes Queenstown, selling their artisan cakes and biscuits directly to customers. The pair have more than 50 years’ experience between them and have worked as pastry chefs and bakers across New Zealand and internationally. Jenny Lamond started Zest Kitchen 18 years ago as a wholesale bakery. From a bakery on Gorge Road, she supplied local businesses like the popular Mediterranean Market (now Raeward Fresh). Pastry chef and baker Anouva Settin joined the team 13 years ago; originally from Brazil, she fell in love with Jenny’s traditional Kiwi recipes and began experimenting and developing new recipes too. The business has been through a lot of challenges over the years, but passion and dedication have carried them through. “It’s been a lot of work,” says Anouva, “Jenny has kept this business going through so many challenges. We got to a point where we decided it was time for the next step together.” Like many in Queenstown (and beyond), Covid-19

and the subsequent lockdowns presented a fresh challenge for the business. But they took it as an opportunity to develop Zest Kitchen into a new, bigger business called Zest Cakes Queenstown, with Anouva as a business partner. “We survived! But we always have and that’s through a lot of hard work, a lot of love and commitment and the fact that people keep coming back and buying our things means we are doing it right.” Zest Cakes will continue to supply outlets like Raeward Fresh, but as part of the new business direction they’ll also sell directly to customers through online orders and at the Remarkables Markets. “People already know us and they’ve been buying our cakes for so long, but now we’re sharing them directly. We’ve changed into a new business, serving the retail market too. We love our baking and we want to share that with everyone.”

recognise. We use real ingredients. Real oats, real butter, real golden syrup… it’s the way we make it that’s different. “We make everything by hand. Every single biscuit is weighed, moulded by hand, placed on a tray, baked, then iced individually… that’s why they cost a bit more, because there’s so much labour and love that goes into everything we do. “We’ve developed our own style and I think that’s been a great success and we’re ready to develop that more and expand. We’re too good to be hiding in the background.” Specialising in wedding cakes, celebration cakes and traditional Kiwi biscuits and slices, the pair have a wealth of industry knowledge and experience. They’ve created recipes for different dietary requirements and preferences too – from vegan and raw products to gluten free and nut free.

To coincide with the new business model, Zest Cakes has a new logo and branding, and a new website (zestcakes.co.nz). But the pair say that their dedication to artisan-made cakes and biscuits, crafted with real ingredients, will not be changing.

“We’ve learned a lot over the years and have so much knowledge. We love what we make and we love our recipes. We love making delicious, beautiful things and we’re good at it… so we’re excited to make our business bigger and better and share what we do with more people.

“When I started working with Jenny, she had so many great recipes which we’ve developed over time; we have recipes that no one else has. But there’s nothing in our cakes that you wouldn’t

“I’m often asked if I get tired of cake, or if I don’t like eating it because I work with it and the answer is; I don’t! I still love eating it. I love our carrot cake now just as much as I did 10 years ago.”

19th January 2021 | Issue 05

2021, the year for a new business? written by Lauren Prebble 2020, the year of the pandemic was a global shake up of epic proportions. Forced lockdowns and border closures continue to have crippling effects throughout the world. New Zealand’s tourist industry came to a shuddering halt once the international visitors were unable to enter and our country is now faced with a $12.9 billion dollar hole. Nowhere has this been felt more than our own destination hot spot, where Mayor Jim Boult predicted 40% shrinkage to the district’s economy. In September 2020, New Zealand had its highest number of unemployed in eight years (Stats NZ). Numbers worse than the global financial crisis in 2008. But amid the chaos, many kiwis are choosing this time to start their own business. Data from the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment [MBIE] showed there were 22,984 new NZ companies registered between June and September in 2020 – a record high for those four months in any of the past five years. Quite the juxtaposition; international tourism in tatters, an employment crisis, and the pandemic still at large, however new business registration numbers track in line with 2019. We’ve watched the upturn of the country’s buoyant property market and now small business start-ups is the next trend to track. As the old Chinese idiom goes, in a crisis look for the opportunity. Start-up Queenstown-Lakes CEO, Olivia Wensley has seen this first-hand. Over lockdown, Start-up Queenstown saw its highest ever enrolments for its online business programme ‘Kickstarter’. “People have been forced outside of their comfort zones so they’re having to think outside of the box” says Olivia.

“The future has slammed us in the face” says Trent Yeo, executive director and acting GM of Ziptrek Ecotours. “Everyone is a start-up right now”. As a result, business resources have become readily available for the public with local council and government aiding with the cost for start-up help services. The government is propping up individuals with its small business cash flow scheme. The QLDC Kia Kaha Hub is scheduling no-cost workshops with business coach Melissa Jenner. At the same time Queenstown Chamber of Commerce saw 125 businesses sign up with their ‘free’ membership programme. The increase in available business resources has gathered engagement, particularly from women. Olivia found that 70-80% of people in their business start-up courses were female. A figure that reflects the unemployment findings of stats NZ. In the June quarter, there was 11,000 fewer people in paid employment. Of those, 10,000 were women. Olivia Wensley refers to the Covid situation as “classic disruption” and believes this has made people re-address their priorities. The attitude shift of “I’ve got nothing to lose. I’m just going to go for it” has got people embarking on their start up dream. For tourism business entrepreneur, Nigel Hobbs the idea to start his latest new venture came about completely by fear “20 years in tourism, I had all my eggs in one basket… in asset debt, we relied on numbers from tourism… I started [Go Local] out of serious concern for my other businesses and the industry”. Olivia from Start-up Queenstown is in agreement “These companies, the way that they’re built. They’re suffering now because they don’t have the stream of people. We need to do things in a smarter way, there needs to be more diversity.” Nigel jumped on this very thought. “Years ago, we all used the yellow pages business directory. We’ve

digitized and modernised it. No other platform does this, providing a localize directory.” He’s built an online platform based on ‘buying local’ for small to medium sized local businesses to promote their products and service to customers. After a successful launch in 2020, he’s now expanding it into the Auckland market. “The old rules don’t work anymore,” Says Trent, whose business also relies on tourism. “You can either adapt to the new market or live in an old market that has significantly changed”. In the middle of the pandemic, Trent founded RemoteTogether NZ which is a business festival exploring the avenues of remote working. With Zipline still in tow, he’s another local entrepreneur starting a new business. “People who are entrepreneurs just like doing that… it’s a response to opportunity.” The number of new incorporated businesses in 2020 paints an optimistic picture but the national number of closures is also at an all-time high. Since lockdown 18,001 businesses closed compared to 9,825 in 2019 according MBIE’s statistics. The net increase in new business numbers shrunk from 86% in 2019 to just 22% in 2020. The physical presence of empty shops in downtown Queenstown is obvious but comparing Queenstown’s new businesses with the national average, Queenstown is actually looking better. Surprising, with all things considering. “This constant stream of fast tourism is no good for anyone and this is what Covid is showing,” says Olivia. She believes tech will be our next industry giant that has the scope, the ability to start small, experiment and scale up without the overheads that comes with a shopfront. Diversity however is easier said than done according to Craig from Queenstown Chamber “You can’t sum up the situation in one generic statement”.

Why you don’t have to be a big organisation to make a big impact By Yoseph Ayele (co-founder of Edmund Hillary Fellowship) and Trent Yeo

It’s a new dawn, a new day, but the ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic is continuing to create uncertainty about what our lives and business operating conditions will look like. COVID-19 may subside as vaccines roll out but the impacts of the pandemic will likely last for some years. As NZ rebuilds its economy, the role of entrepreneurs and innovators will be more relevant than ever. The NZ Government’s priority for the post-COVID recovery focuses on retraining Kiwis for tomorrow’s jobs, future proofing our economy through accelerating climate innovations, and building an internationally connected nation. NZ is ahead of the curve in its COVID response which provides a huge opportunity to rebuild a better, more resilient and inclusive workplace. One direct global community that people of Queenstown-Lakes may not be aware of is the Edmund Hillary Fellowship (EHF). In the spirit of Sir Edmund Hillary’s achievements and humanitarian work, EHF seeks out the most globally connected and futurefocussed entrepreneurs and investors in the world to help boost the startup ecosystem and create international impact from NZ. The 532 Edmund Hillary Fellows, from 58 countries (including NZ), are using their unique entrepreneurial experience, access to resources, and far-reaching global networks to contribute to NZ’s economic rebuild phase. And what’s more, a huge number of them are doing it remotely. The Fellows’ diversity of expertise (www.ehf. org) includes technology-enabled innovation; education and employment; climate change; health; ecotourism; and access and connections to Asia and beyond. NZ is also gaining other areas of expertise including affordable housing innovations, international development research, human rights data, ecosystem building initiatives, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality experimentations, and transportation innovation. In many ways the Queenstown-Lakes region is a microcosm of trends around the world with challenges of global relevance so this is a great opportunity for us to tap into the work of international experts. That’s why EHF and RemoteTogetherNZ are partnering up for Aotearoa’s first ‘future of work’ festival in Queenstown from 8-13 March 2021. The 40+ events across various local venues will help businesses and individuals accelerate their learning and assist them in reviewing, redesigning and resetting for a new world of work. From digital nomads and the self-employed to returning Kiwis, smallmedium enterprises and larger organisations, the roundtable discussions, masterclasses and networking sessions in the programme

are tailored to all stops along the remote work journey. Yoseph Ayele, CEO of the Edmund Hillary Fellowship, says he’s excited to collaborate on resources which accelerate big ideas from New Zealand. “It’s vital that there’s a strong relationship with Kiwis who have the local and international talent we’re gathering. RemoteTogetherNZ will build on our Fellows’ world-class ideas and possibly even identify future global impact Fellows in the Queenstown-Lakes region.” RemoteTogetherNZ is delighted to welcome recent EHF Fellow Jason Fried to its speaker line-up. Jason is an expert in productivity and is known in the tech world as the CEO of Basecamp – a key project management and communication tool for remote #WorkFromAnywhere teams. He is the creator of an early software-as-a-service web apps, co-founded open-source web application framework Ruby on Rails, and is 20 years ahead of many organisations in running a remote company. He has also co-authored several books including New York Times best seller ‘Remote: Office Not Required’. RemoteTogetherNZ co-organiser Trent Yeo

says: “As a leading thinker in the art and practice of executing productivity from anywhere, Jason is an inspiration for work both in New Zealand and the Queenstown Lakes. This is a fantastic opportunity for us to probe the concept of creating global impact from wherever you choose and show that you don’t have to be a big organisation to make a big impact.” To book your ticket to RemoteTogetherNZ or view the programme, speakers and COVID-19 policy/refund guarantee, visit www. remotetogethernz.com. The Festival Early Bird Pass is available at $185+GST until 31 January via the website, along with a Team Pass option of ‘buy two tickets and get one free’. From 1 February, festival passes increase to $255+GST. For the latest updates, ideas and discussions, follow @remotogether on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.

Starting a business in 2021

KEY NUMBERS

written by Robin Martin

Welcome to 2021 As the days go by and you read the headlines about C19 experiences around the world you realise that, in the main, the economic and fiscal position in New Zealand sits pretty well for most sectors.

And then there is Tourism and other volume associated enterprises With the borders still closed, and plenty of uncertainty, it is going to be some time before those sectors see any change to their fortunes. Maybe you have asked yourself, what should I do? Find a job or create a business? When giving serious thought to what you might do, you might like to consider the top economic indicators for 2021 as suggested by Liam Dann: • • • • •

C19 – vaccine and border opening House prices Business Investment/Confidence Inflation Crown Accounts ( Fiscal position)

Are these issues critical to your business success? If so, you may want to think again. Having accepted the reality of the situation you may want to proceed with the creation of a business. There are lots of examples, articles, advisors, mentors – use them to help you decide what is best for you. If you decide to build a business rather than get a job, here are some basic and fundamental actions you must take to ensure you are successful: • Look forward to hard work, long hours, shortage of cash, problems etc. • Have passion for what you do, know your motivation, know your why • Have perseverance to overcome the obstacles put in your way • Base your decisions on DATA – not a gut feel for the issue • You must do Market Research to ensure your idea is what the market wants • Create a Unique Selling proposition ( USP) – to answer the question – Why should I buy your product and service and not your competition? • Have a Plan – a series of plans actually – a business plan, a cash flow plan, a financial plan, a budget, a sales development plan, a marketing plan, an IT plan and so on. Go on. Do it! It is essential Have pride in them Don’t leave them in a drawer – make sure they are a ‘living being’ and are regularly referred to on a regular basis • Use what ever technology is available – look for professional support if you are uncertain • Are you a risk taker? you probably are if you want to build a business. Talk to others to help you refine your ideas. • Finally expect some problems delays; bad decisions, external forces, budget overruns etc Remember – most businesses fail due to lack of capital, insufficient cash flow and lack of relevant current data. It you would like a hand, contact me, for a business assessment and report. Email me for a summary of my recently completed projects. A resume of my skills, experience and qualifications are on my web site.
