Savvy and Successful - Viktoria Darabi

Viktoria Darabi always has plans brewing for the next Hawkesbury tourism event or advancement for Renaissance Rocking Horses. Finally, she has put to use her many years of marketing and publicity experience and has founded her own business, allowing her to do what she loves – help people and their businesses.

Savvy and Successful, Viktoria’s new business provides a coaching service offering business and marketing advice to businesses owners.

The new business venture is something Viktoria has had ‘brewing’ for a long time. “It’s probably something I should have done sooner, but with a young family and growing a business, I didn’t have the wherewith all or time to think it through completely and put the wheels in motion.” But when Viktoria became a mentor and speaker for the Young Entrepreneur’s Stepping-Up Program she realised she had everything she needed to start the business.

Viktoria’s favourite part of the job? Working with young people. “I love their bravery, passion for what they are doing and of course the delicious potential that they represent.”

Despite her high-achieving lifestyle, Viktoria is under no illusion about the fact that, underneath it all, she is just a normal, busy mum and admits that her daily motivation is quite simple; “Getting the children ready for school is what makes me get up every morning.”
