Learning from the Master: SRI Entrepreneurship students have Masterclass with Sarina Russo

Students enrolled in SRI’s Certificate IV in Entrepreneurship and New Business have the unique opportunity participate in Masterclasses hosted by Sarina Russo herself. 

Once a month, students are invited to join an exclusive online Masterclass with the company’s founder, during which she will share her business knowledge of 43+ years and take part in a Q and A session.

Much like many of the students in this course, Sarina came from humble beginnings with a dream to start her own business. She now is one of Australia’s most successful entrepreneurs, making her debut this year in the Australian Financial Review’s list of the nation’s 50 richest women. To the entrepreneurs of the future, she is an invaluable source of information, inspiration, and motivation.  

Students were encouraged by these insights from Sarina at the first Masterclass of 2023: 

“Even if you are not a born leader, you can become one. You can just create it. But you’ve got to make a commitment to yourself in today’s world. My resilience [is the] skill I wish for you. You must accept change and must be prepared to change your thinking. Stay up, stay tall and be aligned with your values. I never teach what I don’t practice.” 

As well as Sarina’s Masterclasses, each student has a Business Coach to mentor them through the course. 

Ready to kick-start your small-business dream? Your entrepreneurship journey with Sarina can start any Monday and you can work through our online course at your own pace.
