David has been running his consulting business for nearly four years. He left corporate world when offered a voluntary redundancy package and he grabbed it with open arms. He had had enough of large organisations and decided that working for himself was a much better option.

The first year had kept him very busy. He had not been too worrried that he had little income coming in. He needed to establish himself. Register a business name, write up a business plan, get advise from an accountant, arrange a home office plus he needed business cards, printing, a website and a LinkedIn Profile. He found his list went on and on and constantly that there were things he found he did not even know!

Networking - exploring the big picture together

There is something you may not know about me other than I am, Kerryn Powell, the Founder and Creator of Your Time Matters! I love to connect people, learn why they do what that do, make sure they have the knowledge going forward AND... I love to change things up and not only does that mean I create a range of events and workshops that help business professionals network, and learn, grow and achieve, I am personally known for constantly moving furniture around in our home. I joke often that my husbaned Leigh, is the only constant in my life. Perhaps in another life, I will be an architect or an Interior Designer.

Today, meet Susie Miles-

Networking -Making Visions Real and Attainable

Once a month the door opens at The Deck, Brighton and we warmly welcome new faces. Sometimes the new attendees are a little apprehensive and unsure what to expect as YTM is quite different to other traditional networking events. Based on our experience of running business networking events, we know that in a very short time they will feel relaxed and comfortable.

Generally our attendees have been in business for more than 4 years and are keen to make connections and share knowledge and experience. YTM is a community built on relationships, professional development and quality connections that open up opportunities that will impact on business growth.

Today, I would like to introduce you to Harriet Lammin.

Networking in real life: an ANZAC story

It is an appropriate time to reflect on the massive contribution of service men and women of all ages, who have fought to protect their country and demonstrated courage, resilience and determination in numerous wars protecting Australia and supporting our allies. Their bravery, commitment and sacrifices can never be underestimated or forgotten.

Like many families, stories have been passed down from generation to generation about family members who enlisted and joined Australian forces across the world in various wars in history.
