**This is not another business networking event where people exchange business cards and move on.** Our weekly meetups are designed for entrepreneurs, founders, business owners, and ambitious professionals who want to build, grow, and scale businesses together. Through a structured, curator-led approach, we help members identify and strengthen the areas that matter most for their individual growth. While we work and learn as a group, while every participant focuses on developing their own weak points and unlocking their unique potential. Our experienced curators guide members through different stages of business development, covering essential pillars such as: • Confidence and effective communication • Sales and relationship building • Creativity and idea generation • Strategic thinking and pattern recognition • Discipline and sustainable execution • Understanding how our conscious and unconscious mind influences decisions • Brand development and positioning • Identifying and fulfilling audience needs • Building a strong digital presence through websites and social media Beyond personal development, this is a collaborative ecosystem. Members connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, exchange knowledge and experience, share valuable contacts, support each other's initiatives, and often become clients, partners, or advocates for one another. **Whether you already run a business or are preparing to launch one, we help you refine your ideas, package them into viable opportunities, validate your approach, and prepare for growth.** And when the time comes to scale and seek investment, we connect you with the right mentors, partners, and investors. Because successful businesses are rarely built alone. They grow within the right community. !! important Number of guest is limited. **Parking:** free parking is available in the building.

Marketing Monday Networking
Marketing Monday Networking
Monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners. One specific topic, one to three actions you can run this week. You can be the best at what you do and still be invisible. If local buyers cannot find you, the phone does not ring. Marketing Monday Lunch + Learn is a monthly working lunch for Columbus business owners focused on building relationships, local networking, and local marketing. Every kind of local business welcome. No pitch round, no pressure, no upsell. **This month** Most local businesses pick one or two places to be visible and call it good. The result is inconsistent calls and a feeling that marketing is not working. We will walk through the three places every local business needs to show up, plus the fourth place most owners ignore that quietly produces the warmest leads. **What to expect** Doors open at noon. Order lunch and drinks at the cafe counter or bring your own. You get real conversation with other local owners and a focused marketing lesson. You leave knowing people and with one to three actions to run that week. The room is reserved through 1:30 PM. **Who this is for** Any local business owner who wants clearer marketing direction and real local relationships. Service businesses, retail, home services, professional services, online owners building local presence, anyone serious about being part of the Columbus business community. **Not the right fit if** You are here to pitch the room or recruit for an MLM. **Details** * Second Monday of every month * 12:00 to 1:30 PM * Good Cafe Easton, 4400 Easton Commons, Ste 150, Columbus, OH 43219 * Order lunch and drinks at the counter when you arrive * Free to attend, RSVP required, space is limited **About the host** Rita Suzanne is a local marketing strategist and the founder of Local Marketing Method.
