CONNECT - THE BUSINESS SOCIAL
Stop building your
business alone.
You've put the work in. You've shown up, said yes, figured it out - mostly by yourself. And somehow it's still harder than it should be. CONNECT is where that changes. The online membership built specifically for women in business across regional WA.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE IN THINKING THIS
Does any of this sound familiar?
These are the thoughts we hear from almost every woman who finds us.
If you're nodding - this page was written for you.
"Surely this shouldn't feel this hard still. I've been at it for years."
"I'm working constantly but I'm not even sure the business is actually growing."
"I feel like I'm guessing half the time. There's no one around me who really gets it."
"I wish someone could just sit down with me and help me look at this properly."
HERE'S THE TRUTH
You're not failing.
You're just doing it alone.
Running a business in regional WA is genuinely different. Your network is smaller. Your business peers - the ones who really understand what it means to be the decision-maker, the bookkeeper, the marketer, the mum, the community member - they're hard to find.
Most business support out there was built for city women. It doesn't account for the distance, the tight-knit towns where everyone knows your name (and your business), or the very real challenge of finding time to work on your business when you're so deep in working in it.
"You don't have to figure this out by yourself.
Not in the regions. Not ever."
CONNECT was built specifically for women like you. Women who are capable and hardworking - who just need the right structure, the right tools, and the right community around them to take their business to the next level.
What CONNECT gives you
Three things that actually change how business feels.
Everything inside CONNECT is built to do one thing: make running your business in regional WA feel less like a solo battle and more like something you're genuinely winning at.
Your people.
Finally.
The loneliness of building a business in the regions is real - and it quietly erodes your confidence over time.
Inside CONNECT you'll find women who actually get it. Not a Facebook group full of noise. A real community where you can ask the hard questions, celebrate the real wins, and feel genuinely less alone in this.

Member stories
Women who found their people
Before CONNECT I was just spinning my wheels. Having the quarterly planning sessions gave me a structure I didn't even know I was missing. I finally feel like I know what I'm working towards.

I didn't realise how isolated I was until I joined. The community in CONNECT is genuine - these are women who actually want to see each other succeed. It changed my whole experience of being in business.

The workshops are genuinely useful - not just fluffy content. Real business stuff, delivered by people who understand what it's like out here. Worth every cent and then some.

IS THIS THE RIGHT INVESTMENT?
"Is it
really worth it?"
We know money matters - especially in regional small business where margins can be tight and every dollar counts. Here's an honest answer.
If you join CONNECT and actually show up - use the planning sessions, engage in the community, implement the tools - the return is real. Our members gain clarity on their direction, feel less isolated, and make better decisions.
"I don't have time."
CONNECT is self-directed and online - you engage when you can. One 90-day planning session could save you months of working in the wrong direction.
"Am I even ready for this?"
Yes. CONNECT is for women who are already in business and want to grow - not just beginners. If you've been running your business for 1+ years, you're exactly who this is for.
"The budget is tight right now."
We get it...but at $55/month - less than a weekly coffee catch-up - CONNECT is designed to be accessible. And the clarity, knowledge & connections you gain are worth far more.
We hear you
The questions that are probably in your head.
Founded by regional women
Built by women who
live this too.
The Business Social wasn't created by big-city consultants or corporate strategists. It was built by women who run their own businesses in regional Western Australia - who know exactly what it means to juggle a business, a family, a community and a life, all at once.
We created CONNECT because we looked around and saw incredible women building incredible things - quietly, in isolation, with no one in their corner who truly understood the unique reality of regional business.
That changes here. We are your people. And we built this for you.
"We lift up the women who lift up our towns. When one of us grows, we all grow."
Ready when you are
Your business. Your people.
Your next chapter.
You've been doing this long enough to know that nothing changes by staying in the same place. CONNECT is where women in regional WA come when they're ready to stop going it alone.
3-month minimum · Online · Open to all women in regional WA
