The goal of the Coffee with Arthur event is to provide a space where business people from all stages can share experiences, give hints and tips, and encourage each other on the business journey.
It is a little bit different from the hard networking approach to get people to refer to each other. I believe that that should come organically over time as a more trust is built over time.
I have been through the ups and downs in business and over the years have found that meeting with other people of liked mind, can help you through a tough time, or be a place where you can celebrate some victories.
The bonus is that there is also a social element where you can just chill and be yourself. No need to explain yourself, just enjoy some time with other business owners.
