7 March 2012: “Breaking through Success Barriers” - Helping you and your business shine in 2012!

Supported by

Join Success Network’s unique celebration of International Women’s Day for the 7^th year. This now established ‘networking and learning experience’ celebrates women’s progress and success in business.  It also inspires us to achieve our full potential. In the current economy, many of us are having to be ultra competitive and able to stand out from the crowd. But even when we have a unique product or service and a clear target audience, we may be dealing with potential customers’ reduced budgets and higher expectations.

What stands in your way? If you are looking to step up your business performance then breaking through internal and external barriers will help you to shine and achieve personal and professional excellence. This in turn will lead to the success you desire as well as the opportunity to make your small business more profitable.

You are invited to join us to network, enjoy inspirational speakers who share valuable knowledge, and help each other to overcome business challenges. As a result of listening to our speakers’ success tips and participating in our highly interactive format, we know that you will be inspired to follow your own dream with renewed passion.

You will also

• understand how other business women deal with internal barriers (e.g. fear or lack of confidence) and external barriers (e.g. lack of funding, too much competition or work overload)
• gain new thoughts, ideas and strategies to apply to your own work situation
• feel inspired to break through your own barriers and be more confident about what it takes to achieve success
• come away with new contacts from our interactive networking sessions, including our own SLOW SPEED NETWORKING (optional)
• have the opportunity to win a prize in our charity raffle supporting Oxfam’s new International Women’s Day fund!
