Australian Business Podcast episode #2 is now live on the Rask network, and I’m thrilled.
In this episode, I — Owen Rask, founder of The Rask Group — dive into a small business’ most important asset: you.
This episode of The Australian Business Podcast aligns perfectly with Lesson Two of Rask’s free business course.
💡How many Australian businesses fail: it’s estimated around 40%-60% of new Australian small businesses won’t survive the next 5 years. I suspect a big reason for small business failure can be put down to a failure to prepare.
