Small Business Week

by | Jul 24, 2021

Happy Small Business Week everyone!

This week is officially 2016 Queensland Small Business Week – when the State celebrates the contribution that small businesses and their owner make to our communities.

“97% of Queensland’s businesses have less than 20 employees,
and they employ 43% of Queensland’s private sector workforce.”

So, we’re a significant force in the Queensland economy.

Throughout Queensland, events will be taking place on all things to do with small business:

  • collaboration and partnerships
  • innovation and entrepreneurship
  • identifying and seizing opportunities
  • preparing for digital disruption.

“5 Things to do Immediately to Improve Your Business”

For 2016 Queensland Small Business week, I will be presenting a workshop that I have specifically prepared for this week, on May 19th in Moranbah.

Knowing that many businesses have been affected by the mining industry downturn in Queensland, I have put together 5 tools that business owners can implement pretty well straight away.  This won’t be a “theoretical” workshop where the participants sit and listen – it will be 5 hours of solid content, with take-away tools.

Other workshops being held across the central regions of Queensland are:
