Overview:

We like to create, compose, and basically do anything we can to stay behind our desk. However, there must be a balance of client acquisition work and building a solid foundation for the business. Networking (along with follow-up) is extremely important to your success.

Getting out to network can be hard when we juggle so many demands.

That’s why we established Business @ Bedtime networking. At these monthly events you can show up virtually in your house shoes and curlers. Snuggle down and share what you do, what you need, and what you can offer.

What To Expect:

Conversation with up to 10 people to

• Create strong professional ties
• Gain access to opportunities
• Utilize a safe space to exchange new ideas
• Gain knowledge
• Polish your communication and social skills
• Solidify potential business collaborations/referrals

When: The fourth Monday of every month in 2023

Where: Online (see zoom link provided after you register)

Who Should Attend: Open to anyone (business owners, entrepreneurs, employees, non-business owners, spouses/ supporters of business owners)
