The best advice my dad gave me: Corey Batt, Managing Director and Co-founder of www.clickburst.com.au

“My father taught me to take risks – especially while you’re young. I’ve found that in Australia the average person is afraid to go out on a limb and start a new business, take on an investment or put themselves out there. I started my first business when I was 20 and have built several successful businesses since which have completely influenced my life.” – Corey Batt
