Business Bricks

Or Matt’s tiny strategy for starting meetups
1. choose somewhere you don’t mind sitting on your own
2. decide at the beginning you don’t even mind if it’s just you by yourself (you can always take a book/ a paper/ some work)
3. have no agenda (then it can emerge and people can turn it into what they want/ need it to be)
4. be a bad host
5. list it on upcoming.org
and add it to the business bricks group there
or mail me, and i’ll add it for you

6. tell anyone you know
7. keep it simple and commit to doing it for a set amount of time (i’d always be in the mad hatter, 10am, friday, wearing one of two tshirts (allowing for laundry emergencies) and i’d be there every week till xmas)
8. let it change. (it became 9am not ten.) let go of it. so you don’t even have to turn up
