Do I need an experience?
No. This course is designed for beginners to get you started on the path to your own online business.
What if I don't have an idea for a business?
That’s fine. In this course I’ll go through the different business models so you can come up with a business idea that will suit you.
You're in Australia and I'm not. Is the course still relevant?
Yes. This course is suitable for anyone in the world who wants to start their own business. There is one section that is tailored to Australian regulations for business, but can still be used to discover what you need to do.
I'm not a mum, can I take the course?
Absolutely. The course was created by Work At Home Mums, so mums are kind of our thing, but the course doesn’t actually have anything ‘mum’ about it. It will work just as well if you’re a mum, dad, grandparent, run screaming at the sight of kids, or a crazy cat lady. If you want to start a business, this course can help.
Are there any extra costs?
Yes, to set up a business there are costs involved in registering your business name. There will also be costs in engaging an accountant to set your business up right (not compulsory but highly recommended).

Does the course come with coaching?
No, this is a self guided and self paced course. If you get stuck, you are free to ask questions at the bottom of the lessons and we will help where we can.
What if I'm unhappy with my purchase?

I still have a question, how can I contact you?
I’d be happy to answer any questions you might have. Just contact us.
