Small business support in Chirnside Park

Community Business Support Sessions for local business owners who do not want to work alone.

Bring your laptop, your half-finished ideas, your social media questions or the business task you keep putting off. These sessions are designed to be collaborative, chatty, practical and supportive.

Not traditional coworking

This is a place to talk, create and bounce ideas around.

If you want a silent office where nobody speaks, this probably is not the right fit.

Community Business Support Sessions are for people who enjoy working around others, want encouragement, need a place to film content, or simply want to feel less alone while running a small business.

You can work on your own tasks while also asking questions, talking through ideas and learning from the people around you.

Work and create in the same space

You can film content while you are here.

The venue is a large open space, so it can be useful for recording reels, taking simple business photos, practising talking to camera or creating content that is difficult to film at home.

You can also bring products, props or anything else you need for your content creation.

If content is your main goal, you may also want to look at the monthly Content Creation Club.

Talk strategy with Robyn

You do not have to figure out every business problem by yourself.

I have run Play Move Improve for more than 10 years and built a strong social media audience around practical education, movement and community.

During these sessions, you can talk through social media, messaging, content ideas, business offers and the things that are making you feel stuck.

This is informal support rather than a formal consulting package.

Sometimes you do not need another course. You need somewhere to sit, talk it through and actually do the work.

Who this may suit

Especially useful if you work alone most of the time.

Home-based business owners

If working from home has started to feel isolating, this gives you a reason to leave the house and work around other people.

Service-based businesses

Bring the marketing, admin or planning tasks that are hard to prioritise when you are busy serving clients.

Creators and educators

Use the space to film content, plan resources, write, record or develop ideas with other people around you.

People rebuilding momentum

Sometimes you do not need another course. You need a place to sit down, ask questions and actually do the work.

Possible future event

Would you take part in a local small business market day?

I know how valuable it can be to get your business in front of real people rather than relying entirely on social media.

If there is enough interest, I would love to explore a relaxed market day where local small businesses could sell products, showcase what they do, meet customers and connect with each other.

This is only an interest test at the moment. I am not setting a date until I know enough local businesses would genuinely want it.

Running a small business can feel lonely. If there is something you are stuck on, ask me before you book.

You do not need to create an account or work out the perfect place to ask.

Ask Robyn

Tell me what you want to work on so I can understand what would make the session useful for you.

Would you join a local small business market day?

This does not commit you to a stall. I am testing whether there is enough interest before organising anything.

Ask Robyn a business question
