Business Networking That Isn’t About Swapping Business Cards
Quite simply, as a business owner I was sick of the typical business networking clubs where members exchange business cards and then make you feel like you had to do business with them. The club was designed around what I would have liked when I was running my IT managed services business.
In the chaotic world of running a company it is hard to find people who genuinely understand the challenges. Friends, family and acquaintances struggle to grasp it unless they have lived it. The club is a room where you will never feel alone or misunderstood again — owners openly discuss what is really happening, ask for advice and learn from each other.
It is also the lower-cost alternative to my one-on-one business coaching in Melbourne. Same coach, same directness, a different level of access. If you want someone to keep you accountable but you do not need a full-time business coach, this is the one to look at.

The inclusions
What You Get As A Member
Monthly membership, cancel anytime, no hidden fees. Here is exactly what is included:
- Personalised one-on-one mentorship from Rob — a monthly session booked directly into his calendar, with email access in between for anything urgent.
- Monthly networking meetups at venues around Melbourne. Members vote on the time, date and location, and the most votes win.
- Monthly expert strategy sessions on the topics that actually bite: digital marketing and SEO, law, cyber security, HR, culture and processes.
- A peer sounding board of like-minded owners who will tell you the truth, with no spruiking and no pressure to buy from each other.
- Rob’s vetted rolodex. Direct access to the partners he already uses and trusts — legal, HR, web, design and IT — so you skip the trial and error.
- A private member community where questions get answered between meetups instead of sitting in your head for a fortnight.
- An extensive library of video resources you can work through at your own pace.
- Accountability. Someone who remembers what you said you would do last month and asks about it this month.
The meetups
Monthly Meetups That Are Worth Leaving The Office For
The monthly events are held at various locations throughout Melbourne and at various times. Club members vote on the time, date and location, and naturally the most votes win.
They are designed to do two things at once: introduce you to fellow business owners worth knowing, and give you an escape from running the business for a couple of hours. There is no round-the-table pitch, no referral quota and no obligation to trade with anyone in the room.
Alongside the meetups, a group strategy session runs each month — usually by video call, sometimes in person — with practical advice on one topic at a time. Search engine optimisation one month, employment law or cyber security the next.

Networking Club Questions, Answered
Why the No BS Networking Club and not a regular networking group?
As a business owner I was sick of the typical networking clubs where members swap business cards and then make you feel obliged to do business with them.
This club was designed around what I would have wanted when I was running my IT managed services business: meet like-minded owners, learn from someone who has actually done it, and pay an affordable price for the privilege.
Who is the club program for?
It is designed for business owners who want someone to keep them accountable but who do not necessarily need a full-time business coach.
If you want the business pulled apart and rebuilt with you every month, one-on-one business coaching is the better fit.
How much does club membership cost?
Membership is $395 per month AUD, billed monthly, with no hidden fees and no minimum term.
Current joining offers change from time to time, so confirm what applies on your free call or when you get in touch.
Do I actually get one-on-one time with Rob as a member?
Yes. Members can book time directly with me through the club’s booking system, and anything urgent can be emailed. Those who know me know the response comes back quickly.
That direct access is the difference between this and a room full of strangers with name badges.
What happens at the monthly networking events?
They are held at various locations throughout Melbourne and at various times. Members vote on the time, date and location, and the most votes win.
They are designed to introduce you to fellow business owners and to give you an escape from running the business for a couple of hours. No spruiking from members.
What are the monthly strategy sessions?
Each month a group strategy session is held, usually by Zoom or Teams and sometimes in person, giving practical advice on one topic at a time.
Recent examples include search engine optimisation, digital marketing, cyber security, legal and HR.
Am I locked in, and can I cancel?
No, you are not locked in for any period. You can cancel at any time — I want you to be completely happy, and if you are not, I would rather you left.
The club is also covered by the money-back guarantee described on the guarantee page.
Can I refer another business owner to the club?
Absolutely. The success of the club comes down to the members involved, so if you know someone who would benefit and add value, please refer them.
There are details of how referrals work on the refer someone page.
Where can I meet other business owners in Melbourne?
At the No BS Business Networking Club. Monthly meetups in Melbourne with owners who are dealing with the same staff, cash-flow and growth problems you are — not a room full of people trying to sell you something.
It is the only place I know of where you can say “my business is not going well” out loud and get useful help rather than a pitch.
What is a business club, and how is it different from networking?
Traditional networking is lead swapping: everyone is there to sell. A business club is a group of owners there to get better at running their businesses — direct mentorship, expert deep dives on law, HR, cyber and marketing, and access to a vetted rolodex.
Members join for accountability and support at a fraction of the cost of one-on-one coaching.
