Stroud Business & Innovation Network - November Gathering
About this event
Welcome back to SBIN - this month as autumn comes to a close and winter is on the horizon, we will buckle down, strengthen our connections, and prepare for the next phase of our business. The question we ask this month is "What do you need, and have you asked?" We bring the ask wall, and you bring your questions. Often as business owners, we want to be fully self sufficient, but often we need to ask for help, referrals, review our blind spots, or just some support in making a difficult decision. We leave tonight having made at least one specific ask, made an introduction, had an opening conversation or connection. This is what your business needs.
