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

Brinkmanship can be about demanding the impossible to leverage a deal, or exerting financial pressure on someone who is already tied into doing business with you.

What does having a growth mindset really mean? Is it something that works in a practical sense, or is it just another psychobabble catchphrase?

To truly have a personal brand, you must first define it, whereas your reputation is how others see you, whether you have worked on your personal brand or not.

What was especially interesting was the shared view that imposter syndrome might be a necessary, even useful, aspect of business and entrepreneurship, and not simply something debilitating.

Our latest MEG meetup had us focusing on the issue of time management and the often tricky business of scheduling your day.

This week 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 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.
