ABOUT US
ABOUT BIZTHINKTANK
At Optus, many business owners have told us they're looking for practical information and ideas to help in running their business. So we've partnered with Peter Switzer, one of Australia's leading small business experts, to create BizThinkTank.com.au.
BizThinkTank is a dedicated small business website, with a wealth of regularly updated tips and articles. Whether you're looking to start a business or grow your business, you'll find a wealth of handy advice and information. And you can ask questions, get feedback, and learn from other business owners' experiences on the forums.
BizThinkTank is constantly improving, with more features and articles being added all the time. So don't miss a thing: make sure you sign up for the regular newsletter. Help make BizThinkTank your own, too. We'd love to hear from you, so let us know what you want to see on the site.
The ultimate aim is to help you achieve a better work-life balance. Because the more you learn to work on your business, the less you'll need to work in your business.
