MEET THE BOSS

Megan Reakes, Narellan Pools Western Plains Position: Pool Lady I got involved in business...

just helping one day a week at first, but then slowly increased that over a couple months. I never intended to work in the business. Our business is known for... building pools, servicing them, and everything in between

Our bestselling product is...

anything that turns a green pool around

My role in the business is... anywhere I am needed. Some days I’ll do the accounts, some days you will catch me helping dig the hole, and other days I’ll test your water

I manage... not to have a mental breakdown every day

According to my staff...

I always have their backs and am supportive. (Thanks guys, they really must want their Christmas bonus!)

I spend my down time...

what is ‘down time’?

I’m inspired by... lots of people. My mum and dad are my main source, they are beautiful people inside and out. On my beside table are... magazines, cups of water and a diffuser

In my opinion, the biggest issue facing small businesses is... locals not supporting

locals

My secret to success is...

having the same goal as the customer.

I’m most proud of... my husband Jason. He’s kicking his goals

If I could, I’d tell my 20-year-old self to... live with your parents for as long as

you can

The best piece of career advice I can offer is... remember to crawl before you

walk.

And if I wasn’t in my current role, I’d... be working in finance or as a

stockbroker. it’s Summer...
