Building, Learning, and Helping Others Succeed
New to business? So was I…
I quit my job as a corporate lawyer to start a rug business with my brother in Melbourne, Australia about 6 years ago. It was a leap of faith that paid off!
I also started another eCommerce business that didn’t quite take off to the same level but I learnt so much from that experience, including everything I now understand about branding and marketing. I believe in learning all the elements of business before delegating and, to this day, I still run my businesses hands-on. Now, I want to teach others how to do the same.
My goal is to give others a better head start than I had, with practical tutorials and a supportive space to learn and grow.
I created The Community Forum with this in mind. A place for business owners to collaborate, encourage each other, and keep pushing toward their goals. It is also where you will get daily support from me as you progress.
I look forward to joining you on your business journey.
Talla.

Frequently Asked Questions

My Business Checklist is for those who have an online business idea, who want to take their hobby to the next level, who have tried to start an online business but can't pull all the elements together or who have an online business but in a very basic form and would like to learn how to elevate it. If that sounds like you, then you may need this course or the modules most relevant to your business needs.
-
The course is wholly online and you can log-in whenever you like. There are 11 modules each with multiple instructional videos that cover the 11 topics highlighted above. Each module runs through exact, step-by-step, click-by-click, video instructions on how to implement everything into your own online business.
I find most business owners can complete the whole course in 11 days. However, you have full access to the course at any given time. So you really can go at your own pace. All you need is a computer and access to the internet.
-
While I have made sure that each module is as easy to follow as possible, I understand that some of you will have some questions! After all, all of our businesses will be a little different.
That’s why I have also created the My Business Checklist Community Forum.
The Community Forum is where we have a live Q&A thread for each module so you can ask unlimited questions as you progress through the course. I will personally be answering your questions via the Community Forum and will also host regular online group check-ins for more in depth and personalised assistance.
You can also connect with, and rely on, other business owners who are going through the same modules as you.

There is nothing to really "work". Think of this more as an investment in your business and yourself. My Business Checklist is simply the sharing of personal knowledge, via a set of instructional videos, of how to implement or elevate your own online business using the methods that I use in my own businesses.
I have outlined each topic/module of the course above so you can be the judge of whether the course or a module is right for you before you commit.
Please note that there are no refunds. So feel free to email me if you have any further questions at hello@mybusinesschecklist.com
