What we’re about
This group is all about connecting, sharing, learning and supporting each other to grow our businesses.
We are about collaboration - not competition. We want to make things easier for you in growing your business, but that means getting you away from your computer and face-to-face with other entrepreneurs and business owners and bringing you high-quality speakers that can inspire, motivate and teach us all from their own journey as an entrepreneur. This means you may get challenged in what you know, how you think, your mindset, or in how to take your business to the next level.
Our events are either Free to attend or charge a small fee to cover expenses and room rental, AV equipment and the like. We hope to keep costs low or the events free. See each event invite for details or venue and whether it is free or not.
Any company is only as good as its staff. Right?! Any networking group is only as good as its members (those that attend) and the content that is being presented. I take it upon me and my team to bring you high-quality speakers, content topics and different formats for networking to keep it engaging, interesting and different.
We don't want to be just another networking group or pitch fest - right!?
So, let's all co-create this group to be a rich and fertile hub for us to gain insight and feedback from, to learn and share, connect and refer, support and grow both, as entrepreneurs and our businesses.
Here is to you - our members. Please invite more members freely, share us around, but please invite people that can gain from us and can bring value to the group too. Each event, please bring at least one guest...
And, we have a 'No Asshole' policy.
As entrepreneurs we rely on a positive mindset, a can-do attitude, a tireless commitment to go all-in on our respective projects and businesses, so we don't need negative people in our Entrepreneur Hub. Thanks for understanding.
About me...
I am a business solutionist, serial entrepreneur, internationally published writer and author, public speaker, and Quantum coach. I founded Smart Solutions ten years ago this year and we have won a number of industry and business awards, we have worked with small to medium sized businesses, solo-preneurs and start-ups, experst, speakers, authors and those who want to be, both here in Australia and internationally.
I don't state this here to impress you but to impress upon you that if I can do that after arriving in Australia with just $500 in my pocket, so can you...
I would love to see our group help each other to succeed beyond even your wildest dreams... how would that be!?
Just bookmark this site right now. As long as you check back every few days, you will see where and when the next meetup is.
Also, you can join as a member, it’s free! Then you will get an email as soon as we announce the times and locations of the next meetup.
We only have one rule:
Please don’t use these meetings to pitch your business. You are welcome to tell others what you do of course, to network, but there is a huge difference between self-promotion and being so aggressive about it that it scares off our other and especially new members. Thank you for understanding.
If you want to book a time slot to pitch your project and business, pls contacxt me prior to the meeting and we can book you in. This way you get the full attention from everyone and it does not piss people off. ok.
Oh, yes and while we encourage the inviting of new members and we don't want to have to screen them, please stick to the A-hole rule stated above. Please ONLY invite positive, inspired, entrepreneurial-minded people or those who wish to become that - not pessimistic ney-sayers and folks with asshole attitude, thanks.
That’s about it. If you are still reading, then you are obviously interested. That's great. So why not come along to our next meetup? Who knows? You could get one idea that increases your bottom line by 20% this year, or you could meet someone you end up doing business with or start a JV with...
But you will only know if you show up.
See you there,
Erik Bigalk & Team
