PART TWO - Tara Solberg - Graphic Designer to successful Homeware Stores

Eleven years Tara along with husband Danny quit their day jobs as graphic designers to take a leap and follow their dream to start a furniture and homeware store.

After years spent traveling the world as designers, they had always wanted to bring some of the treasures they came across back home. They had big ideas of creating a magical store full of wander and curiosity. Fast forward to present day and Tara and Danny’s dream has well and truly been realised. Under the banner Few and Far the couple have opened five stores in NSW, and created a wholesale brand called Indigo Love.

The couple have been through so much during the past six months; all their stores were in bush fire affected areas and then were closed due to COVID but luckily Tara and Danny were able to pivot and increase their online offering.

During the recent lockdown period Tara also decided to start work on a new course she had wanted to create. The idea behind the course was to share all the knowledge the couple had garnered on their business journey. Thementor/retail masterclass will launch towards the end of the year and will be a two-day retreat and/or an online course and is aimed at helping those who want to start their own retails business. Sign up to the website www.fewandfar.com.au for more information.

It was such a pleasure chatting to Tara (and popping her podcast cherry) and hearing the couple’s journey to follow their dreams. Also, a huge thank you to Tara who drove 3.5 hours to come on the pod - that’s a long way!
