BRISBANE BUSINESS WORKSHOP
TURN YOUR IDEA INTO A BUSINESS YOU CAN ACTUALLY START
A practical three-hour workshop for people with an idea who feel held back by money, fear or not knowing what to do first.
Is this workshop for you?
You have a business idea, but you’re unsure where to begin.
You may be worried about money, failure, finding customers or making the wrong decisions.
Built From Nothing gives you practical direction, honest guidance and a clear plan for taking your first steps.
Why learn from Gareth Williams?
Gareth’s journey began in a backyard shed. From there, he ran a women’s-only boxing program in a local park before opening his first facility at Griffith University in February 2007.
With limited money and no major financial backing, he secured sponsored equipment and continued building through resourcefulness, relationships and practical experience.
Today, Gareth is the founder of The Boxing Shop and Boxing Beyond Barriers, a registered charity that has engaged more than 50,000 young people through boxing and mentoring programs.
Across more than 20 years, Gareth has built successful community programs, delivered across 50+ schools, had three Olympians and many Professional athletes as well as been recognised as a 2023 Westfield Local Hero.
Built From Nothing shares the honest decisions, setbacks and practical lessons behind that journey—not textbook business theory.

“My daughter entered the program during a very difficult period. She was withdrawn, emotionally fragile and struggling at school. After one term, she became fitter, more confident and focused, and her grades and attitude towards life’s challenges improved. I sincerely hope this program becomes available in every school.”
