D32 Business Networking Gold Coast – Legends- Thu 08 Jan
Build Your First GPT: AI Power for Everyday BusinessKick off 2026 by learning how to create your own custom GPTs - even if you’re not techy. In this demo session, you’ll discover how to build AI tools that save time, produce content, answer client questions, automate tasks, and make your business run smoothly.Join us at the event to get your brand in front of the right people, make new connections and referral partners, enjoy breakfast, and learn new skills that help you grow.Being in business is hard. We get that. That’s why D32 exists: to help business owners just like you navigate the ups, downs, and sideways journeys you find yourself on. How do we do that, I hear you think? There are many ways, and who better to tell you this than our existing members:"No pitch. Just people who give a damn. That’s what struck me the most about D32. In most networks, it’s a game of “what leads did you bring me?” At D32, it's… “how can I help you grow?” No pressure. No politics. No posturing. Just a community of givers - who actually get it. The conversations are real. The support is felt. And the camaraderie? Rare. If you're tired of ego-driven rooms full of takers, this isn’t that. It’s a tribe that genuinely lifts each other up. Highly recommend. Not for the hype, but for the humans." Terry Wilson, Chat Metrics, Gold Coast, June 2025 Business is easier when you’re in the right room, with the right people. It helps to be around the people who’ve already figured it out. That's why D32 exists — to get you in the same room and teach you how to succeed, together. You’ll get leads and grow your business in a network that actually wants to see your business earn the income you desire and deserve. You’ve mastered your craft, but have you mastered your business yet? And what does ‘mastering your business’ actually mean? It’s all of this, and more:- Understanding your pricing, sales, hiring… everything More referrals and leads, and a nice, consistent cash flow so you can sleep at night You’ll stop second-guessing yourself, and you’ll know you’re on the right track How to leverage networking the right way, instead of just hoping for leads You’ll connect with the people who will help you scale from 6 to 7 figures “Networking isn’t just about business — it’s about belonging. Being part of a strong community like D32 can help you live longer, feel happier, and stay healthier by reducing stress, boosting your mood, and keeping loneliness at bay. When you're connected to others, you gain a sense of purpose and support, making life richer, more resilient, and much more enjoyable." Jon Williams, CBD Circle Leader, The Agency, Perth, June 2025 If you do the work, you’ll get the referrals and ROI. D32 isn’t here just for the little wins. D32 is all about building relationships and know-how that will take you from scraping by to absolutely smashing it, and earning more independence and freedom than you thought possible. BUT… this sort of growth doesn’t happen overnight. It takes TIME and TRUST. Most people who join D32 won’t get consistent referrals in the first 6 months. That’s because 6 to 12 months is usually how long it takes for you to show the network you’re trustworthy. Intrigued? You should be. D32 is the Business Networking Community you didn’t know you needed. Come to a local Circle meeting and experience the camaraderie and growth yourself. Lorraine Garvie and Dean Keating Co-Owners of D32 IMPORTANT NOTE:D32 Business Network is a business growth company, and we want to work with driven and ambitious business owners who we can help. All guests need to speak with one of our friendly team before attending. - LINK HERE
