We went live. Here's what happened.
The moment we told 5,000 people we're archiving the Facebook group and moving to a proper home.
The Problem
Most networking is broken. Here's why.
You know the drill. You turn up. Someone does a round-robin. You hear fourteen elevator pitches. You sit through a PowerPoint about someone's "unique methodology." You exchange business cards with people you'll never contact. You drive home thinking "well, that was an hour of my life."
Connection doesn't work like that. Connection is built on the same thing as any relationship: familiarity and trust. Familiarity comes from showing up. Trust comes from being remembered. And being remembered comes from making memories together.
You don't make memories through elevator pitches and death by PowerPoint. You make memories by laughing together, playing games together, and having a genuinely good time.
Most networking knows this. Most networking fails at it by being boring as hell.
We just chose not to be boring.
What We Do Differently
No elevator pitches. No round-robins. No PowerPoints. Ever.
The Games
Our breakout rooms are built around games and conversation, not sales scripts. Last week someone nominated their mother-in-law as a reptile during a scavenger hunt.
The Conversations
We give people conversation starters that are actually interesting. Not "so what do you do?" but "what's the most expensive mistake you've made in business?"
The Energy
40 people on a Zoom call and nobody pitched. By the end, multiple people had booked follow-up calls and two people were planning a collaboration.
Nobody writes "I help businesses grow" as their conversation starter. Because when you're given permission to be interesting instead of professional, it turns out people are really, really interesting.
And when people are interesting, they're memorable. And when they're memorable, they get clients. That's the whole thing. That's what networking is supposed to do. We just actually do it.
What's Inside
What you get
— Weekly networking every Thursday at 1pm
Fun, warm, zero cringe, zero hard sell. Games in the breakout rooms. Conversations that actually go somewhere. The kind of networking you look forward to rather than dread.
— A community hub that actually works
Find people. Have real conversations. See what's happening. No algorithm deciding whether you're allowed to see our posts. No ads in your face. Just us and you.
— A room full of people who are invested
Everyone in here has chosen to be here. They've put skin in the game. That changes the energy completely. The connections are better, the conversations are deeper, and the results are real.
— Access to every Rebellious Business event
Not just the Thursday networking. Everything on the calendar. One membership, full access.
— Connection between events, not just during them
The best thing about a community is that it doesn't stop when the Zoom call ends. Find your people. Stay in touch. Build those relationships.
Richard and Marco met at our network last week. Richard does branding. Marco does digital marketing. They discovered they both use music analogies to explain what they do. By Friday they were planning a collaboration.
Nobody introduced them. They found each other in a breakout room. Good people in a good format find each other. Every single week.
What The Rebels Say
Don't take our word for it
"There is no other group that I would invite every member over for a cup of tea in the back garden. The RBN is different! Why struggle through your journey alone when you can strive alongside others who are travelling along the same path as you."
David
Productivity Coach
"It is a fantastic opportunity to build truly valuable connections. The atmosphere is just buzzing. You can build your business much faster if you surround yourself with the right people and I believe this is just the right place to meet them!"
Gin
Web Developer
"Finally a group I look forward to going to, rather than dread! (Besides the fact I could attend in my PJ bottoms and no one would know) it is fun, relaxed and HIGHLY informative. This is the only place you need to be!"
Katie
Brand Photographer
"I would 100% recommend anyone to join. Cordelia and her team produce real results that help your business grow, with the constant support and enthusiasm you start to feel like part of a community, then you realise that you are part of a family."
Sean
Podcast Host
Straight From The Chat
This is what happens on Thursdays.
Real messages. Real reactions. Unedited. This is what people type in the chat during and after our networking events.
Meet Your Hosts
We're Cordelia and Caroline.
We've been running this community for six years. Through a pandemic. Through everything. We show up every single Thursday.
Last week Cordelia hosted while properly ill. Croaky voice, tissues everywhere, the whole thing. Caroline introduced her as her "lurgy, beautiful business partner." The rebels brought a taxidermied alligator. Thursday was fine.
That's the thing. This isn't a performance. We're not delivering a keynote. We're opening breakout rooms, picking conversation starters, and trying not to get caught dancing during the breakout rooms. (Someone came back early once. We were not embarrassed. Much.)
We believe the best things in business come from real human connection. Not funnels. Not algorithms. Not AI-generated outreach. Actual people having actual conversations. We'll be in the room with you every Thursday.
Founding Member Offer
Founding Members get it locked in forever.
The Rebellious Business Network costs £5 a month. That's less than a coffee. Less than a single networking event anywhere else. Less than what you spent last week on something you've already forgotten about.
Join before Wednesday 25 March at 10:30am and your £5/month price is locked in forever. When we raise the price (and we will as the community grows), you stay at £5. Permanently. That's yours for being here from the start. After Wednesday, Founding Member status is gone.
Founding Member pricing ends Wednesday 25 March at 10:30am
Got Questions?
FAQ
What happens to the Facebook group?
It gets archived on Wednesday 25 March at 10:30am. It'll still be there to look back on, but the conversation stops. Everything moves to the Rebellious Business Network.
I'm already a Nab-A-Client member. Do I need to pay?
No. The network is included in your NAC membership. We'll sort you out.
Can I try a single event before committing?
Yes. Grab a single event ticket for £5 on Eventbrite. Come to a Thursday networking session. If you love it (you will), come back and join the monthly membership.
What if I can't make Thursdays?
The community hub is available all the time. But the Thursday networking is the heartbeat. Most members find a way to make it work because it's genuinely the highlight of their week.
Is this just online?
For now, yes. We have plans to take the network local with in-person meetups in the future. Watch this space.
The Facebook group archives Wednesday 25 March at 10:30am.
Be on the other side.
Six years. Five thousand members. One taxidermied alligator. It's been a ride.
