📚 #InPursuit – A Book Club for Builders, Thinkers, and Doers

📚 #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. https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/SLV-EnglishMap_Jan25.pdf

Tools to Organize for Success!

We all recognize that if things were better organized, people would be better off. We have all had experiences with a business or government, school or a group that was not well organized and we experience the confusion, delays and upsets of trying to deal with disorganization. On a personal level, trying to get something started - a plan, some new bright idea you had, perhaps starting a new business - without organization can be a nightmare. Organization is a key and often missing factor in personal success. It is also essential for a flourishing family, group, organization or business. Attaining one's goals, no matter how large or small, requires a knowledge and application of organization.

Afterhours- All-inclusive Adult School Camp

Afterhours – Australia’s First & Only All-Inclusive Adult School Camp Remember school camp? Staying up way too late, making random new friends, ridiculous games, laughing until your stomach hurt and forgetting about everything else for a few days? We brought it back — **for adults. 🍻🏕️** Afterhours is an all-inclusive adult school camp in Victoria created for adults who want to get out, meet new people, try new things and have some bloody fun again. And yes — **you can absolutely come alone.** A lot of our campers arrive not knowing anyone. That's actually one of the best parts. Activities, games and social events throughout the weekend are designed to get everyone mixing, so you won't be left awkwardly trying to figure out who to talk to. Expect things like: ⚡ Giant swing & high ropes 🏹 Archery 🔫 Laser tag 🎨 Sip & Paint 🍺 Beer Olympics 🎃 Themed parties 🎤 Karaoke 🎪 Carnival games 🎧 DJs & late nights And plenty of ridiculousness in between Our camps are **18+** and there's no upper age limit. Whether you're coming solo, with your partner, your best mate or bringing the whole group, you're welcome. Our next Afterhours camp is: 📅 **30 October – 2 November 2026** 📍 **Bayview Adventure Park, Grantville VIC** Three nights. Accommodation, meals, drinks (including the bar) activities and entertainment included. **Play like a kid. Party like an adult.** Join the group to meet other potential campers, find out what's coming up and maybe find the people you'll be sharing a very questionable Beer Olympics performance with.
