IT Turning Point meets InVite Business Networking | IT Turning Point

InVite Business Networking

Business Networking with a Passion

We have learned a lot of lessons on our trip into business and one of the greatest is the need for small to medium sized businesses to keep in touch and help each other out. Bounce ideas around and encourage and help each other as often as possible.

When I started this business I decided from the word go that I would go around as many of the networking group?s I could and see what format suited me best and what other companies were talking about and experiencing out there in the big bad world.

I found these a melting pot of different people with many different ideas and passions.

In fact what came across from many of the people and businesses I met and am still meeting is their passion for what they thought could be achieved. They weren?t just selling a business idea or telling me about their business they had a passion burning inside about it. That was something that I had so I could immediately relate to it.

Many things try and drive it out from you in the early days, such as banks, cash flow and people who are being friends, ?Well it?s not a good time to set up a business and we are in recession.?

If I heard that once I heard that a million times. When will be the right time?

I eventually found the type of networking that suited me and have stuck to it and attended even when I felt I did not want to. Each time I have come away with a sense of satisfaction and have met some brilliant people over the last few years.

With this all in mind, I wanted to gather all this passion together into one place and let it bounce of everyone in the room, think of it like a light show.

So a good friend and organisation I deal with have come in with me, Tim Thomson, Manager at The Vine Venue, Dunfermline, ?to create InVite Business Networking, we launched in June and had 19 businesses attend the opening event. We have held one in July and 14 businesses attended some new ones from the original event and we are holding the next one on the 16th August.

Out tag line is Get Involved?? and we truly believe we can change things, when small businesses get together with passion; we become the equivalent of a larger organisation without all the politics.

We are launching the InVite soapbox in September where each business who attends regularily will get 10 minutes to soapbox their business passion. We are having guest speakers and a once a year business showcase.

If you feel there is a need for this and you can feel the passion we have then come along and get involved?.
