You make the big calls on your own. Your mates mean well, but they’ve never paid wages with the bank balance open in another tab.<\/p>\n

Most networking nights leave you with a pocket full of business cards and three sales pitches you didn’t ask for.<\/p>\n

At Geelong Entrepreneurs, owners talk straight about cash, hiring, pricing and the deal that went sideways. Then they help each other work out the next move.<\/p>\n

No pitching.<\/span>No cards.<\/span>No small talk.<\/span><\/div>\n
