At first, I thought all business owners had it “figured out”. Have you ever thought this way?

“I think they know something I don’t.”

Everyone just seemed to be doing so well!

And here I am, running The Rask Group, thinking to myself “I think he knows a lot more than me” or “she’s kicking goals while I’m over here just guessing about the price of my stuff!”

But then something strange happened. I noticed people kept saying the same thing to me!

And I tell you what, I definitely didn’t have it “figured out”.

In short, my Cliff Notes version is that every business owner is a hot mess!

This episode of The Australian Business Podcast is dedicated to all of the hot messes in the world.

Why small business owners should listen to this

In this FILMED episode of The Australian Business Podcast, myself (Owen Rask) and Emma Edwards from The Broke Generation break down some of the most important emotional aspects of running a business, including how to overcome imposter syndrome, invest for growth confidently, price your products and services properly, celebrate your wins, and build an online brand that people love.
