October Networking: Find Your Power to Act

What's really stopping you from taking the next step in your business? Is it a lack of ideas, or something deeper?

As an entrepreneur, nothing matters more than the skill of taking action, because action means growth. But self-doubt, limiting beliefs and old habits can quietly keep you stuck, even when you know exactly what you should be doing.

In this session, Katinka van Kan will unpack the neuroscience behind taking action (or not) and show you how to "trick" your brain into action mode whenever you need it.

Because growing your business isn't just about strategy, it's about becoming the person who can actually follow through.

You'll walk away with:

• A clear understanding of the neuroscience behind action and inaction
• A practical tool to shift yourself into "action mode" on demand
• The confidence to keep moving forward, without a single drop of self-doubt

Business networking for small business owners

It can be lonely running a small business so let’s take you away from your desk so you can meet some like-minded business owners to grow your connections.

You need resilience as a business owner, there are so many spinning plates to manage; time, money, resources, and of course finding customers.

Our community is here to listen, help and support.

About your host

From starting a business in The Netherlands as an expat back in 2019 it was hard to get the right answers and find other business owners that were going through the same challenges.

Where do you find information, support, and recommendations without a network?

Over time, from attending events, asking questions, requesting help, and reaching out to people, I started to build a network of people who have provided invaluable support and has opened up many opportunities.

I love getting to know people, their stories, and their challenges, helping them by ‘connecting the dots’ through connections and collaborations.
