Deals Colony: From Passion to Scalable Impact

​

Deals Colony was born in May 2014, sparked by a simple yet powerful idea:

"What if I could make money doing what I love, from anywhere, while still living the life I want?"

With no formal business background—but unlimited passion and bold experimentation — Monika K transitioned from a structured job mindset to a dynamic business mindset. She explored her interests in technology, creativity, teaching, and community building, and tested which could evolve into sustainable income streams.

​

That first one-day school fundraiser store in Brisbane became a stepping stone to a growing portfolio of purpose-led projects. Each initiative is shaped by Monika’s expertise in IT, data analytics, business strategy, and multicultural engagement—alongside her lived experiences as a woman, stay at home wife, working professional, mother, and migrant.

Today, as founder, Monika enjoys the best of both worlds: the flexibility of entrepreneurial living and the fulfilment of social impact work. Her journey proves that business can start from a hobby, scale through collaboration, and thrive by aligning passion with purpose.

​

Scaling for Greater Impact

Since becoming a registered social enterprise in 2024, Deals Colony has evolved into a powerful platform that merges community-first innovation with wellbeing, education, and economic participation.

Through strategic growth and trusted collaborations, Deals Colony has moved beyond solo entrepreneurship to co-design and deliver scalable, grant-aligned projects that benefit:

• Individuals seeking confidence and skills

• Grassroots charities needing digital and business support

• Councils and CSR teams aiming for real, measurable community impact

Our approach prioritises wellbeing, sustainability, equity, and inclusion—backed by systems, training, and storytelling that ensure long-term results.

Proof of Smart Strategy in Action

One of the most successful recent projects?
The “Happy Hobby Hour Junior (HHHJ)” youth initiative, co-created by Monika and her son.

Born from their own screen-time challenges and passion for learning, HHHJ blends wellbeing, entrepreneurship, and creativity. It started small from their home in North Brisbane, gaining momentum via school holiday camps, and now continues to scale globally.

Curious how they grew without paid ads?
Just Google “HHHJ” and see how "Happy Hobby Hour Junior" ranks organically—a testament to smart strategy, not big budgets.
