Kiwi Wins · New series
They did it. Here's how.
Real New Zealand owners walk through the decision that changed their business: the price rise, the first hire, the shop they nearly didn't open. Ten minutes, no fluff, plenty to steal.
How an episode works
One decision
Each episode follows a single call that changed the business: a price rise, a first hire, a new site, a hard no.
In their words
The owner tells it, on camera, at their place. Our interviewer stays off camera, and the questions appear as text.
What you can pinch
Every episode ends with the moves you can copy, and the write-up on this site lists the numbers and the sources.
Nominate a business
Know an owner who made a smart call? Your café, your plumber, your own business. Tell us what they did and we'll take it from there.
Fair questions
What is Kiwi Wins?
A new MySMB video series of mini-docs, about ten minutes each. A New Zealand small business owner walks through one decision that changed their business, and what other owners can learn from it.
When is the first episode out?
The first episodes are in production. The free brief tells you the morning each one lands, and every episode gets a full write-up here.
Who can be nominated?
Any New Zealand small business, from a sole trader to a team of nineteen, with a story other owners could learn from. You can nominate your own business. We always ask the owner before featuring anyone.
Do businesses pay to be featured?
No. Kiwi Wins is editorial. If the series is ever presented by a sponsor, that's labelled, and the sponsor has no say in who we feature.
