Welcome to MEG
Practical, supportive networking for business owners. Participation without pressure.

At this month’s second MEG meetup, held in Colony, Piccadilly Place, we looked at what it means to go above and beyond when working for clients, and whether this is necessarily always a good thing.

A major aspect of this is understanding your own strengths and weaknesses, and realising what it is you’re best at, and focusing your energy on that.

Helping others is one of the most valuable things you can do in business, for your business, and one of the ways of doing this is spotting opportunities for the other enterprises you network with.

Our latest MEG meet-up involved a roundtable discussion about business development, and the do’s and don’ts of doing your own thing, and making it work.

This week, at the regular MEG Meet-up, we discussed change, and what happens if you fail to see what’s coming in your sector.

How aware are businesses about protecting their assets? Intellectual property rights (IP) can be something of a maze without the right guidance, but luckily, at MEG we have our own expert on hand, Jacob O’Brien.

How business people view themselves, and how others view them, can be two very different things. This is something you learn when you meet people and network with them.

As hardworking business owners, we’ve all experienced that sensation where time completely vanishes – a point when we’re so deeply immersed in the task at hand that hours flash by in what feels like a matter of minutes.

Damian Cox treated us to a taste of Into Production’s colourful portfolio in our most recent meeting, taking us behind the scenes of a shoot the company did for dermal filler beauty business Revolax. 

We talked about challenging ourselves this week – exploring different ways in which we can work together to take the group further and generate leads for our members.

By nourishing our emotional side and taking care of our mental wellbeing, we can begin to break negative cycles and initiate the kind of positive change that will prevent future procrastination. 

If you’ve just returned from holiday and you’re playing catch-up with a coffee in hand, our latest newsletter should get you up to speed on what’s been happening at MEG – as well as what’s coming up during September.
