Overview
The Breakfast Club’s focus on finance, funding and new income streams is intended to put you ahead of the game.
By seeing your club colleagues as collaborators not competitors. By sharing what’s possible, what’s been considered, what’s been tried, what’s failed but, above all, what worked, we want to support your efforts and maximise club success.
Especially as we will have external experts – from inside and outside the game – join our conversations from time-to-time bringing additional knowledge on specfic issues to the table.
The Breakfast Clubs will save you time, energy, frustration, wheel re-invention, tears and, being blunt, money. It should also stimulate some different and innovative thinking and new ideas. Well, perhaps ideas new to your club anyway.
But it’s small group so they’re about conversation not broadcasts. As we have already discovered, the added value is in the pooling of knowledge and learning across the Network. The sharing of countless conversations and personal experiences.
Meetings will run in parallel each month on different days and at different times to maximise possible participation but you are welcome to join as and when you can.
Take a few minutes to watch this video introduction to the Breakfast Club.
