The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Live Better.
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! Cue... Continue Reading →
Sometimes I catch myself mid-conversation realising I’ve veered off course, lost momentum, or just plain confused the poor bugger trying to keep up. Whether I’m rambling, mumbling, or being a bit too clever with my words, I know I’m not alone. We all have our quirks when we speak. While some habits are better off... Continue Reading →
You may not have noticed: There are NO MORE TAGS on my blog. Yes - I deleted the lot. Why? Because most were words within the article - which effectively made them duplicates, therefore redundant. What replaced them? Just honest categories that represent where I’ve been - and where I’m going now that I am... Continue Reading →
I recently offered to help a new Vietnamese friend with her English. Simple enough, right? As soon as the words left my mouth, I realised I might’ve stepped into something bigger than I expected. This is going to be a journey filled with confusion, cultural curve-balls, and the occasional case of mutual head-scratching. While I’ve... Continue Reading →
Today wasn’t a work-day — at least, not the window-cleaning kind. No squeegees, no ladders, no ocean-view glass panels.

“I’m not looking for anyone special to have in my life anymore.”— Stephen Mitchell (#1: Late 1996 / #2: Mid 2025) I remember saying that out loud, half to myself, half to the universe, as if trying to seal the deal. Life was finally levelling out after a long, grey fog of loss and heartache.... Continue Reading →
In what can only be described as an uncanny display of modern technological chaos, local resident Stephen 'Stephentrepreneur' Mitchell reported a harrowing evening when both their keyboard and mouse simultaneously expired from a lack of battery power. “It’s like a conspiracy,” they said, holding their phone like it’s a lifeline to humanity’s grasp on civilization....

In case you hadn’t heard, I severely sprained my right wrist nearly four weeks ago. It wasn’t broken, but it might as well have been for how much it slowed me down. For the first two days, my wrist was in plaster to help reduce the swelling. After that, I wore a neoprene brace for... 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 →
