“YTM was the first networking event I attended two years ago when I started on the journey of business ownership. I was warmly welcomed by Leigh and Kerryn, and connected with a group of interesting and intelligent business people. Now two years on I haven't missed one, and after experiencing several other networking groups I can't recommend YTM enough. It is by far the most well run format and allows time to really get to know other business owners, delve deep and to form real and lasting connections. My confidence has grown and I am able to practice communicating my value to others in a safe and welcoming environment. Thank you Kerryn and Leigh -”

…so much more than Online & “In Person” business networking events - a business community. Guaranteed to use your precious time wisely as you connect with confidence, learn, grow and achieve to drive business, growth and fulfillment .
“Is YTM for ME? “
Great question. Here is the best answer we can give you.
We will pay for your first online event.
You can attend a regular online event as our guest and see if you like it or not. We’re confident you will, or we wouldn’t be making this offer. Just a couple of quick screening questions to make sure we’re going to be a great fit for you.
At the end of the event just tell us what you thought and if you’d like to become a member. It’s entirely up to you. We let the people and events do the selling for us and there’s no pressure to join unless you love it.
OUR MISSION
Create connection. Foster community. Influence change.
