Our nation is experiencing the most challenging economic time in living memory. The collapse of major economies, banks, businesses and consumer confidence has lead to an extraordinary level of fear and uncertainty. But one thing is certain:-

While we feel defeated, no progress will be made. And we simply can't afford to not be making progress.

Our attitudes are critical. A key part of the solution to our problem is the restoration of confidence, optimism and enthusiasm. The Advance! Australia Initiative is specifically designed to assist in the restoration of these qualities ... so that Australia can be at the forefront of the recovery.

Tough times never last. Tough people do.

The Advance! Australia Initiative will give Australian businesses the skills and attitudes necessary to survive the current tough times and thrive in the good times ahead.

The Advance! Australia Initiative has been developed by the Business Advisor Network, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to assisting businesses. Among other things, the Initiative includes the nationwide delivery of business seminars, plus a range of valuable workshops, advisory services, fund-raising for member based business organisations and business development resources. These seminars, services and resources are specifically designed to give business people the outlook and strategies necessary to weather the current conditions, and thrive into the future.

The Initiative is strongly supported by leading corporate citizens including:

• Quest Community Newspapers                     • Bendigo Bank

• Ipswich City Council                                        • Gold Coast City Council

• Ipswich BEC                                                   • University of Sthn Queensland Corporate Club

• Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce            • Weblinc

• 1300WebPro                                                   • West Moreton Accounting and Tax

• Queensland Business Review                       • Accrue Financial

• Murray International                                         • Marine Qld

• Tech Flare Solutions                                       • Qpay........and more

As the first step in the Initiative, BANet has arranged a serious speaker for a serious matter - Brett Chamberlain.  BANet has arranged a series of Keynote presentations around south eastern Queensland at Chermside, Ipswich, Gold Coast, Logan, Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba over the coming months.

The second step in the Initiative is an open invitation to prominent and respected Australians to join many others by lending their support to the Advance! Australia Initiative. They can do this by providing a short motivational or inspirational quote or thought which will encourage people to endure, strive and achieve. Their quote can be based on a lesson they've learned, an experience they've had, a treasured piece of wisdom, an inspirational moment in their life, or simply an uplifting quote which supports the Initiative. A video clip of them delivering their quote will then be used in conjunction with others in advertising campaigns and as an introduction to the seminars, to help set the inspirational tone and mood for the event.
