Peter Switzer is in Yeppoon to visit our Paul and Mel Jowsey from Jtagz. We hear from Jowsey himself on his progress so far. He says he now realises retirement in 5 years was, to some extent, a fantasy.

Peter discusses with Mel and Jowsey how to get the business running as a separate entity, covering 5 key points along the way. Mel and Jowsey realise there's a lot of work to do, but they have a much clearer sense of direction - and retirement may be achievable after all.
