Build the Foundations of Your Business in One Term
A 10-Week Challenge to Kickstart Your Business
You’ve seen 6-week fitness challenges and 12-week gym programs – designed to build strength, stamina, and discipline. But what about a challenge for your mind?

Why Now Is the Best Time to Start Your Own Business
The way we work is changing. With job security uncertain and flexible work opportunities growing, more parents are turning to self-employment to create financial independence and a better work-life balance.
- Be your own boss: Set your own hours, work on your own terms, and create a career that fits your lifestyle
- Earn extra income: A side hustle can supplement your income or grow into your full-time business
- Leverage the digital economy: The internet has removed traditional barriers – you can sell products or services without needing a storefront
- More time for family: Running your own business gives you flexibility to be present for school drop-offs, pickups, and important family moments
The startup sprint is your opportunity to take control and turn your idea into a reality and earn the nationally recognised BSBSS00103 New Business Ventures Skill Set which includes:
- BSBESB301 Investigate Business Opportunities
