Meet our founder, Shelley Cox
Hi, I'm Shelley Cox, and I know what it’s like to run a small business in a regional area.
I’ve spent 20 years in winemaking, founded Workspace Barossa, and then Makers & Merchants Barossa.
I’ve ridden the highs and faced the tough times, especially navigating through the challenges of Covid.
What I saw was incredible talent and passion, but also a lot of struggle. So many amazing people were missing the right tools, the right connections, or just the confidence to really make their businesses flourish.
I knew there had to be a better way.
Â
That’s why I created Your Business Compass. I wanted to build something that provides real, practical support for people like you. Whether you’re juggling kids and your business like me, figuring out your next steps in managing the daily chaos or just starting out with a dream, I get it. I've been there.
Your Business Compass isn’t just about business advice; it’s about community.
It’s about giving you the plan, the tools, and the network you need to succeed. It's about helping you avoid the pitfalls I've seen, and helping you achieve the dreams you have for your business and your life.
Join us, and let’s build something amazing together
