Hi everyone, Brian here from Mt Barker District Council. We are bringing in this Digital Cheat Code workshop to Mt. Barker. It may be of value to you.

Business owners: what's one marketing mistake you'd love to avoid before it costs you time and money?

What if you could skip the mistakes and learn the shortcuts from people who have already built successful brands?

Proven marketing tactics (not theory)
Common mistakes to avoid
Practical actions you can implement immediately
Networking with local business owners

What a great way to start Friday! 🙌

A big thank you to Aaron Vogt, Director of Preferred Finance, for sharing his business journey with us, and to everyone who joined the conversation.

One of the best things about hearing another business owner’s story is finding the lessons that apply to your own. The industry or path might be different, but the challenges of starting out, growing a team, hiring well and learning to delegate are often surprisingly familiar. There’s always something to take away 🤝

Keen to keep the conversations going? Our next event is our Mix & Mingle Breakfast on Friday, 2nd October. A no pressure, no frills way to meet and network with other Adelaide Hills business owners. We’d love to see you there - grab your tickets from our website! ☕

What a fantastic morning at our Future Ready Regions VR Roadshow last Friday! 🥽

Our members and guests enjoyed a hands-on look at how Virtual Reality can transform staff training, onboarding and skill development.

A huge thank you to nbn Australia for organising the event, and everyone who joined us at Aston Hills Golf Club. It was great to see so many local business leaders embracing new ideas and exploring the future of business! 🙌

Running a business can be isolating, but having a strong local network gives you people to connect with, bounce ideas off and learn alongside 💡

As Liesel Bredenkamp from GraceWell Group shares, sometimes simply stepping away from the business and into the community can bring back that much-needed spark ⚡️

Join us again this Friday for our Future Ready Regions VR Roadshow - an immersive look at how virtual reality is transforming training, recruitment and regional business.
