Imagine increasing your sales by 400% in a 5 month period. As amazing as that sounds, imagine then how it feels when you do it in the middle of a pandemic. Then imagine doing it all while living smack bang in the centre of Australia's harshest of lockdowns - in the city of Melbourne.  

That’s exactly what Sarah Willmott from Feel Better Box did. After 4 years of chipping away and growing her business slowly (but surely), Feel Better Box finally grew up - almost overnight.  

The sole trader business, the mum working from home, home-schooling her young children, with her family becoming an instant team of packers and wrappers. Sarah's ‘little’ business became a shoulder for so many Australians to lean on in their time of need.      

We talk about what worked, what didn’t work. What she needs to do to keep the momentum going into 2021.
