About the Author

Meet Nicky Clark

Nicky Clark, a dedicated mother of five, a loving wife, and a multifaceted entrepreneur, hails from the quaint town of Humpty Doo, just outside of Darwin in the Northern Territory. Residing in this picturesque locale for over half a century, Nicky has gleaned invaluable lessons from her journey — realising that the path to a thriving business is paved with perseverance, unwavering dedication, emotional highs and lows, and moments of triumph.

She took ownership of her first laundromat in 2004. In a town of just 80,000, Nicky has built a million-dollar business. Driven by an indomitable spirit and an aversion to conceding defeat, she epitomises resilience — proving that true success is forged through hard work, systems, and never giving up.

“Resilience isn’t built overnight — it’s spun one load at a time.”
