If you're new to starting out in business for yourself, then networking could be the key to gaining valuable insight and advice with the added bonus that some of it is FREE once you become a member of their Facebook community. As your business progresses you may want to look into paid for membership and in person events but start off with, who doesn't like free stuff!
I belong to 3 wonderful networking groups:

They have a free community Facebook page, once you request to join you can access advice and get notifications for free networking events and paid for membership opportunities.
MIB International, no not the Will Smith alien franchise, it actually stands for Mums in Business, it has a free Facebook community and in person events which have a fee to attend. https://www.facebook.com/share/EQ5xWU5EnSpgfCFN/

Lastly I go to a co-working group on a Monday run by the fabulous Wendy Garrett of Garrett Learning, it's held at Bistrot Pierre in Kidderminster.
I've made lots of connections taking part in networking, why not give it a go.

In today's episode I'm talking to Laura and Lisa from Kidderminster Nightstop and mediation, a local branch of the nationwide Nightstop organisation.
They talked about how they help the invisible homeless young people, who are usually sofa surfing and not easily picked up as being homeless. Nightstop help with mediation between the young person and their family.

The website www.mentalhealth-uk.org has some very useful tips and advice on how to deal with anxiety. There is also a book about to gain some you time and de stress within your lunch hour. It's called "Gone for lunch: 52 things to do in your lunch break the author is Laura Archer.

In the immortal words of Vanilla Ice, stop collaborate and listen to this new episode of mine.
Where I'm talking about the benefits of working together, collaborating.
To collaborate is to commit to the possibility of producing an outcome greater than the one that would be developed on your own.
I recently collaborated with BBC Hereford and Worcester with the lovely Nina Das Gupta on their upload programme. If you're creating something that is spoken word, comedy, drama or art follow the link to upload it to the BBC and you too might get featured on their show.
