Starting a business is exciting, and succeeding is rewarding, but what about the bit between? You know, that bit that’s full of self-doubt, endless repetition and feelings of being out of your comfort zone? We call it ‘The Lonely Middle’ and it’s one of the hardest parts of creating a successful business. We know, we’ve been there. So, we created The Lonely Middle Club to help you through it. Each month you get exclusive content to help give you the knowledge and inspiration to succeed. Plus, you get access to a private members-only Facebook group where you can get advice and network with small business owners who are going through similar challenges to you. If you want even more, you can download our 51 worksheets, guides, and journals all designed to do one thing, and one thing only… help you get through ‘The Lonely Middle’ and achieve your business goals.

Success in business is down to making the right connections and networking is a tried and tested formula that can help every business to do just that. The Alternative Breakfast Club (ABC) started by Andy Brett in Tunbridge Wells almost 20 years ago has succeeded in terms of its longevity, a consistently high number of members and the support, help and business it gives to its members. It has stood firm and watched as many groups have faltered and failed. The ABC networking club meets every third Tuesday at The Nevill Golf Club, Benhall Mill Rd, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN2 5JW

And more importantly what you can take away and apply in your business. It is guaranteed that you will not only learn things that will make a difference- but you will also HAVE FUN! No-one wants to go to a dull event. We hope to see you at the next Luncheon.

For almost 10 years we’ve been creating and running friendly local groups for mums in business who meet each month for networking, support, inspiration and education. We also do lots of activities in between meetings in our closed members’ Facebook groups. We currently have groups in Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, Cranbrook and Ticehurst in Kent, but after running very successfully since 2009 we’ve recently taken the plunge to expand into other areas across the UK.

In keeping with the ethos of our networking group - networking made simple - joining the Net and becoming part of Tunbridge Wellss most vibrant networking community is simplicity itself. Theres no lengthy registration forms, no vetting process, no proposal and seconding process. Just turn up, and if you like what you see become a member - to paraphrase a meerkat - simples. The only restriction we have on membership is that only one member is allowed to represent each industry sector - by having this restriction we can facilitate cooperation between members rather than competition.

You and your business associates are invited to join us in a dynamic, friendly and inclusive monthly networking meeting. The Mumpreneurs Networking Club offers an informative and supportive environment for small business owners to further their business, get advice, skill swap and meet like-minded individuals.

TWBN was founded in 2012 by several experienced business networkers, disillusioned at the way some of their former networking groups had been run. We believe that business networking is first and foremost about building relationships with other like-minded owners – not about being under pressure to produce a list of names and numbers to hand over as referrals. Understanding each other and the businesses we run is fundamental to developing good referrals.

TW Mums in Business (TWMIBs) is a community of local mums from Kent and Sussex (not just Tunbridge Wells) who all run businesses around our children. We are from various backgrounds, with all sorts of businesses in all sorts of stages, and our children range from newborns to in their 20s.
