The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
In 2016… Almost 10 years ago I said I’d been blogging online for 10 years — but it was actually longer than that. Way back in 1999, I was just jotting down thoughts and publishing them as separate pages on my Telstra personal page. Those pages don’t exist anymore. From memory, I then moved to...

The spark is finally back: My vlogging journey has been reinvigorated, lit by transformation and creative fire. Why/How? My personal life has recently shifted in unexpected ways, and the the world around us has had some massive upheavals. Consequently I refocused my blogging mid 2025 to write about those subjects. Yet I’ve wanted to return... Continue Reading →
Alright, here’s the deal: running my primary website - http://www.ezcreate.com.au - isn't always as simple as I'd like it to be. Random downtime, upload speeds, refresh rate, easy portal or FTP access, and over the years there have been various issues with other hosts I have dealt with. Including selling out and closing down!

I say that’s a recipe for complacency — in everything we do in life.” It hit me hard in... Continue Reading →
Turns out, the greatest financial wisdom shows up when life guts you clean and you’re left rebuilding from ground zero. These days, I’m a single bloke on Kangaroo Island, running a window cleaning business that brings in about a grand a week - some weeks only half that. I clock maybe 10–20 hours, then spend...

Yes, it's been a few weeks since I last shared anything with you, yet this post is going to rock your socks off! I've recently made a large purchase to improve my videography, and I reckon you will all love the reason behind it. Casey Neistat just dropped a vlog about the evolution of his... Continue Reading →
There was a time, not that long ago, when the humble phone call was king. A voice on the other end of the line was all it took to make plans, catch up with a mate, or share news. Fast forward a couple of decades and now the “phone” in our pocket is rarely used... Continue Reading →
Sigh, this needs to be written, if only for myself. Because - there's no denying it - I’ve got too many projects on the go, and not a single one is getting finished. A good friend reckons it’s my way of coping, that I’m hooked on the rush of creating rather than completing. And you... Continue Reading →
There’s something exhilarating about the age we’re living in. It’s not just about new technology or the ever-increasing speed of life - it’s about the possibilities. AI isn’t just another tool in my creative and business toolkit; it’s become a way to think differently, to step outside my usual patterns, and to explore new ways... Continue Reading →
