In this network, you can spar with other solo self-employed people who are in the same situation as you with many functions and hats, so you can move both yourself and your business.
Whether you've been in business for three years or twenty years is irrelevant - it's you as a person and your desire to continue developing your business that is important.
In the network we share knowledge and experiences, and we draw inspiration and experts from outside. We work at both the strategic, tactical and operational levels, and we value the continuous participation of the network participants in the meetings.
The network is facilitated by Billund Erhverv, and as a network participant you contribute to the content and development of the network.
We meet six times a year.
Sometimes for morning meetings at 08.00:10.00 - XNUMX:XNUMX, and other times we link the meeting to events that are relevant to the participants in the network. All times are announced well in advance.
The price for participation in the network is DKK 3.500,- excluding VAT per year.
What has perhaps made the biggest impression on me is the discovery of how much I learn when I am allowed to say things out loud in a community. At a networking meeting in a flower shop, I talked about my business, and only then did I realize that I was missing a common thread. It made me start over and become much clearer about what I actually offer.
The network for solo self-employed people in Billund Erhverv has already given me an incredible amount of inspiration. Even though we have only had a few meetings, I have gained insight into other companies' experiences and challenges, which I can reflect on. It means a lot to hear how others do things – especially when you are a bit isolated like me.
I hope that the network can give me new ideas and a new approach to how I run my business. As a person, I would prefer to have everything under control, but I also have to admit that it is not possible. I hope that we can inspire each other and give each other advice on how we could do things a little differently.

Mental strength as an independent worker – create momentum without burning out.
Location: At Arne, AJ Gård Support, Vestervalg 15, 7190 Billund.
As a self-employed person, you are often a director, salesperson, project manager, specialist and accountant at the same time. The freedom is great, but so is the pressure.
Many self-employed people experience periods where tasks pile up, decisions are in a queue, and it can be difficult to find the balance between ambitions, clients, and private life. The result can be a lack of focus, lower energy, and in the worst case, stress.
