Small business inspiration! 📣 Four local busin Small business inspiration! 📣

Four local businesses shared their stories and business journey at the Geelong Small Business Festival launch event last night. 

In front of a captive audience, our amazing speakers, shared their insights, challenges, tips and aspirations of their business in Geelong. 

One common thread was evident - they're all creative in their business field, and love doing business in Geelong, our UNESCO Creative City of Design.

The insight and inspiration they shared left guests feeling motivated and invigorated. And, these are only four examples of incredible businesses in our region. 

With over 19,000 small businesses in our region, Geelong is becoming an increasingly popular city for small businesses.

Thanks to:
Celeste from @naturalsupplyco 
Rainer from @botanicalbrew 
Julia from @greenhouseinteriors 
and, Lach from @ruckagency

Todd Sampson officially launched the Geelong Small Todd Sampson officially launched the Geelong Small Business Festival last night, in front of a packed audience at @thepiergeelong 

In an inspirational keynote, Todd explained neuroplasticity, and how it's possible to Retrain Your Brain.  We listened and watched in awe at the incredible challenges and situations he has endured and accomplished in order to prove that the brain can be trained to meet the challenges and stresses of modern life. 

So many tips for guests to take away and implement - and ways in which we can use this brain training to expand our creative thinking in life and business.

Thanks Todd - Geelong loved you! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
