How I built a HUGE network 👇

When I came to Norway in 2014, I did not have a network, I did not speak Norwegian and I did not have a relevant experience in running a business.

But… My biggest dream was to have my own business.

To accelerate my path, I realized that I needed to learn from others.

Quickly.

I needed to build my network.

But how?

I like to maximize my time and impact.

So I told myself:

“Here are 2 problems you need to solve:

1. You can not go from door to door asking startups to share their knowledge with you.

2. There must be more people like you who want to learn and build their network with their peers.

So what can you do? “

Aha moment 💡

Under the shower, I remember 😅🚿

“ If I organize a networking event for entrepreneurs… let’s say a monthly event, where they can build their network around some drinks 🍻 … that sounds fun, no? Some might show up.”

I decided to give it a try.

I created a Facebook page.

Called it DrinkEntrepreneurs Oslo, that’s pretty clear.

I created an event page and I started to promote the event on Facebook groups for entrepreneurs.
