As offices and workplaces around the country are winding down and we all get ready for some rest and relaxation, here at Business News Australia we thought it might be a good idea to share some of the more timeless stories of entrepreneurship published throughout 2022.
Aiming to provoke inspiration, reflection and positivity in a world beset by problems, this highly subjective list of stories does not provide a summary of the year that was, nor its major events that we are all too familiar with.
There is not a focus on capital raises, acquisitions, lawsuits, results, new appointments, corporate stoushes, or any other common themes that feature in the day-to-day news of public interest, although some of these angles may make an appearance.
In no specific order, and not necessarily even the most viewed by our readers, we hope some of the following articles can strike a cord with you over the holiday season. Enjoy!
