EO Melbourne
Chapter News - December 2022
Dear ,

As I reflected on what makes us EOers unique, I considered what makes us glue together so well, and why we consistently and significantly outperform the average Melbourne business person.

In my opinion, the answer lies in a positive growth mindset:

Following two years of disruption, we began 2022 with a lot to look forward to, a year of recovery, and a return to "normalcy". Then reality set in.

Inflation climbed, interest rates rose, a war broke out in Europe, logistics were disrupted to an extreme, an energy crisis hit, and the "big resignation" took place. Every entrepreneur had ample reason to complain, take the victim’s place and even throw the towel, In fact, many had.

But I saw the complete opposite from EO Melbourne members. As others lamented, EOers looked for opportunities, shared ideas and solutions, and worked together as a team to devise innovative ways to make the most of the situation. Collectively, we adapted to our NEW PARADIGM and learned from each other.

We are a tribe of positive thinkers, creative minds, and supportive human beings, with an incredible growth mindset and business ethics. This is why I love our chapter, MY TRIBE.

Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season and a well-deserved break, as well as a great start to the new year!

VIVA EO Melbourne!
