Thinking 10x: Expanding What's Possible

Sat, Sep 19, 12:30 AM

From Coffee with Purpose

🚀 THINKING 10X: EXPANDING WHAT’S POSSIBLE What if the biggest thing holding you back… isn’t your circumstances? What if it’s the way you’ve been taught to think about what’s realistic? At our next Coffee With Purpose workshop, we’re challenging ourselves to think differently. To look beyond incremental improvement. To challenge the assumptions and limitations we've placed on ourselves. And to ask a much bigger question: 💭 What could my life look like if I gave myself permission to think 10x bigger?

Coffee Meet up | God-led Business Owners & Creatives

Tue, Sep 22, 10:00 PM

God‑Led Business Owners, Entrepreneurs & Creatives is a gathering for those building with purpose — founders, makers, creatives, and business owners who are committed to walking with Jesus as they create, innovate, and lead. This meet‑up is a space to support one another, share enriching conversations, and navigate the worldliness, pressures, and complexities of the industries we’re in. This community exists as an opportunity to support one another, and not feel isolated in the unique journey that is entrepreneurship, owning a business or pursuing creative endeavours. We get together to talk about the real stuff — the challenges, the wins, the spiritual battles, the opportunities, and the calling behind the work. If you’ve been craving conversations with other big thinkers, dreamers, and action‑takers who love God and are building boldly, this is your space. Given this will be our first meet up, we will structure with both casual networking, and also have a few questions to get the conversation flowing. Look forward to meeting you!

📚 #InPursuit – A Book Club for Builders, Thinkers, and Doers

Sat, Sep 19, 12:30 AM

From Startups & Tech Events in Melbourne

📚 #InPursuit is a book club for entrepreneurs, creatives, and curious minds who know personal growth fuels business growth. **See a lot of RSPVPs and wonder how it works? We'll break up into groups of 6-8 to share our insights, then swap groups after 30-45min so you can maximise learning from everybody!** *Note: this even is not organised by or affiliated with The State Library of Victoria* **That's what #InPursuit is all about** It’s not a traditional book club, it’s a space for people who are actively designing a better life through the pursuit of business, creativity, and personal growth. This event is for anyone #InPursuit of better business, life and relationships. Instead of reading the same book, we each come prepared to share one powerful insight from something we’ve read in the past 3-months. Anything non-fiction that’s moved us forward. Whether it’s a mindset shift, a productivity system, a new philosophy, or just a truth that punched us in the gut. This is a place to unpack it together and hear what others are learning too. We’re not just here to *read*. We’re here to *integrate*. Because when we grow, our business and our lives grow too. **🔍 Why Join? You'll leave with:** * 5–10 fresh insights from books you may never have picked up * Deeper awareness of how others think, lead, and evolve * New connections with people walking a similar path toward purpose, results, and impact This isn’t a lecture. It’s a room full of people building themselves while they build the thing. **📖 How It Works** First time? No pressure to share, just come curious. We'll break up into groups of 6-8 and share our insights, then swap groups so you can maximise the learning! Returning? Bring one idea you’ve read about in the last 3-months and be ready to speak on: 1. What did you learn? 2. How did it shift your perspective about the world or yourself? 3. How has it changed the way you show up or behave? We keep it structured, but flexible. After sharing, we open up to Q&A, personal stories, challenges, and deep dives. Some of the best insights come from the conversations *after* the share. **🧠 Who This Is For** * Entrepreneurs or side-hustlers finding their footing * Business owners, and doers building toward better * Curious minds who love ideas but care more about action * People tired of shallow conversations and hungry for growth If you’re working on something—or becoming someone—this space is for you. It’s a practice ground for people who want to grow forward. We’re all #InPursuit of mastery, momentum, and the kind of success that starts from within. **Map on how to get there** We're in the Create Quarter on the ground level (back right of the Quad as you enter from Swanson St). We'll likely be on a long table together. https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/sites/default/files/SLV-EnglishMap_Jan25.pdf
