And it's only right that a man should compensate another man for his services and his hard work.

That was the plan.

That was the idea that started it.

And I was like, really?

And then I had another friend who came for a haircut.

And he comes with this little box that looked like a tissue box.

And it was an empty little box.

And he said to me, this is from my wife.

And she said, you have to start charging now for haircuts.

And she won't allow me to come back here for haircuts if you don't charge me anymore.

So I started off with $5 haircuts and just eventually just kept growing.

And as my clientele base kept growing...

I started slowly just decreasing my time from my day job and ended up doing barbering full-time from home.

Oh, I absolutely love what I do.

Yeah, and you're right.

I think the thing that made me really go deep into thought was I thought...

How did it take me this many years to not see an opportunity in something that I love so much that was sitting right under my nose?

Yeah, the original five were a group of young guys from out Western Sydney.

And they came and joined the first barber program that I was invited to host from home, from our set up at home.

And yeah, we took them through six months of training.
