The Entrepreneur Club (Melbourne)

📚 #InPursuit is a book club for entrepreneurs, creatives, and curious minds who know personal growth fuels business growth.

See a lot of RSPVPs and wonder how it works? We'll break up into groups of 6-8 to share our insights, then swap groups after 30-45min so you can maximise learning from everybody!

Note: this even is not organised by or affiliated with The State Library of Victoria

That's what #InPursuit is all about

It’s not a traditional book club, it’s a space for people who are actively designing a better life through the pursuit of business, creativity, and personal growth. This event is for anyone #InPursuit of better business, life and relationships.

Instead of reading the same book, we each come prepared to share one powerful insight from something we’ve read in the past 3-months. Anything non-fiction that’s moved us forward.

Whether it’s a mindset shift, a productivity system, a new philosophy, or just a truth that punched us in the gut. This is a place to unpack it together and hear what others are learning too.

We’re not just here to read. We’re here to integrate. Because when we grow, our business and our lives grow too.

🔍 Why Join? You'll leave with:

• 5–10 fresh insights from books you may never have picked up
• Deeper awareness of how others think, lead, and evolve
• New connections with people walking a similar path toward purpose, results, and impact

This isn’t a lecture. It’s a room full of people building themselves while they build the thing.

📖 How It Works
First time? No pressure to share, just come curious.

We'll break up into groups of 6-8 and share our insights, then swap groups so you can maximise the learning!

Returning? Bring one idea you’ve read about in the last 3-months and be ready to speak on:

1. What did you learn?
2. How did it shift your perspective about the world or yourself?
3. How has it changed the way you show up or behave?

We keep it structured, but flexible. After sharing, we open up to Q&A, personal stories, challenges, and deep dives. Some of the best insights come from the conversations after the share.

🧠 Who This Is For

• Entrepreneurs or side-hustlers finding their footing
• Business owners, and doers building toward better
• Curious minds who love ideas but care more about action
• People tired of shallow conversations and hungry for growth

If you’re working on something—or becoming someone—this space is for you. It’s a practice ground for people who want to grow forward.

We’re all #InPursuit of mastery, momentum, and the kind of success that starts from within.

Map on how to get there
We're in the Create Quarter on the ground level (back right of the Quad as you enter from Swanson St). We'll likely be on a long table together.

🍽 Deep Dive Lunch: What action would you take if you had more courage?

Most people have an idea of what they’d do if they had more courage.
This lunch is a chance to explore that in a relaxed, small-group setting, across business, career, and life.

Not theoretical. Not “one day”. Right now.

🔄 Format
• Arrival + order food
• First discussion round
• Table rotation
• Final reflections + wrap

💬 How it works
We’ll break into small groups of 6–8 people per table. Each table will have a few guided prompts to help the conversation go deeper without forcing it.

Then, you'll explore the topic together, sharing perspectives, experiences, and current situations.
Halfway through, we rotate tables so you meet a new group and continue the conversation from a different angle.

🧭 Ground rules, this is important
To keep the conversations valuable if you catch yourself or anyone doing the below. Call it out, don't stay silent.

• Ask, "do you want my perspective on the topic?" before giving unscolicited advice
• Listen completely before responding: ask "have you said all you want about to about that?"
• No one person should speak more than 20% of the time
• No pitching or selling: this is not the place for that
• What’s shared stays in the group - Chatham House rules!

This is about understanding and reflection, not impressing anyone.

👀 Who this is for
• People building something, or thinking about it
• Those open to honest, reflective conversation
• Anyone who knows they might be holding back somewhere

You don’t need to have it all figured out.
You just need to be willing to think about it.

🔥Future Lunch Topics Coming Up...

1. Deep Dive Lunch: Is taking action in 2026 wasted given global uncertaintity?
2. Deep Dive Lunch: What are you doing that feels productive but isn’t actually moving the needle?
3. Deep Dive Lunch: If you had to start 2026 again, what would you do differently?
4. Deep Dive Lunch: What’s the next uncomfortable step you know you should take?

🍻 The Entrepreneur Club – Last Friday of the Month Drinks
Not your average knock-off drinks.

Join us for a monthly gathering of entrepreneurs, builders, creatives, and self-starters who believe business is more than just work, it’s a personal growth journey. Whether you're scaling something or just starting out, this is a space to meet others who think like you do.

💬 What to Expect
✅ Real convos with people building something
✅ A place to bounce ideas, swap challenges, and share wins
✅ Opportunities to give value and get it in return
✅ Chill vibes, no pitches, just smart people in good company

You don’t need a title or a polished pitch, just curiosity and the willingness to connect.

🗓 Format
6:30pm – Arrive, grab a drink, join a convo
8:30pm – We wrap, or roll on elsewhere

📍 The Oxford Scholar
We take over a corner of the bar (Back Bar or Atrium), look for the crew with ideas in one hand and a drink in the other.

🎯 This is for you if

• You want more entrepreneurial people in your life
• You’re building something, or want to be
• You care about growth, not just small talk

Bring a question. Bring a challenge. Bring your curiosity. Last Friday of every month. Let’s make it count.
