OWEN RASK’S FREE BUSINESS COURSE 🥳
After just 6 months of being live, around 2,500 students have taken Owen Rask’s free business course. Hundreds of students haven’t even started their side hustles, others are growing internationally, and some just want to do ‘it’ better.
Ask yourself:
- Have you ever wanted to be your own boss?
- Do you have a business idea but don’t know where to start?
- Are you thinking of hiring someone but don’t know which tax documents you need to fill in?
- What’s a shareholders agreement, can I get one for free and what needs to be in it?
- Wouldn’t it be great if I could take a (free) short course on starting a business?
💡 By completing Rask’s Australian Business Starters course, you will learn everything that I — Owen here, Founder of Rask — wish I knew before I started my own business, plus a whole lot more.
In this course, we’ll cover:
- How to know if a business idea will actually be a good business
- The steps required to plan your business – long before you quit your job
- How to legally set-up your business in Australia (including legitimate and free hacks, shortcuts and templates)
- The essentials, like how to get an ABN, business name and protect yourself (e.g. how to decide on a company structure, sole trader, trust, shareholder agreements, knowing the laws that apply, etc.)
- Websites & marketing like a pro: the best marketing platforms and tools for your business, how much you will need to pay to get a fly website (if you need one) and getting a brand created from scratch
- The basics (but essentials) of accounting, employing people (HR, payroll, paying Super & tax, GST, etc.) and how to find the right tools and people the first time around
- How to finance a business (even if you don’t have a lot of cash in the bank)
- The 5 ways I think your business will definitely die (do these five things and you may as well say bye-bye right now)
- My top 5 business apps and how to use them (many are free and they’ll save you thousands in expert fees)
- The difference between technical skills, soft skills, effective management and leadership
- Why psychology and integrity are more important than your business plan
