Regional Huddle - Session 1

Recap

This was a regional huddle meeting for small business owners in Western Australia, led by Liz with participants including Mel, Deb, Noëlle, Karina, and Annalee. Each participant shared their business and what they wanted to get feedback on. Liz presented the huddle website features including a calendar of upcoming sessions, expert-led presentations, and a private directory for members. The group explored business challenges, particularly focusing on Karina’s engraving business in Exmouth where she struggles with limited local support and market opportunities. Participants provided extensive business advice to Karina, suggesting ideas like creating dog-themed products, developing corporate gift hampers, using social media (Tik Tok) for live demonstrations, and potentially joining the local chamber of commerce. The conversation ended with scheduling discussions for future sessions, deciding to continue meeting on Mondays at 12:00 PM for the next 5 months, with the next joint huddle scheduled for the following Wednesday at 1:30 PM.
