Welcome to the Introverts Business Lounge

THE safe space to network, connect and grow your business, aligned to your quieter personality

Do you want to....

  • Find your TRIBE
  • Be more VISIBLE
  • Get better CONNECTED
  • Get more CLIENTS
  • Be part of a COMMUNITY

But, you don't want to have to do all the extrovert things to grow your business?

As an introvert, you enjoy working from home, but know it can feel isolating and lonely at times.

Are you wanting to find and develop new connections & relationships?

Feel empowered to thrive in your business without having to be the loudest in the room?

  • Does the thought of making small talk stop you from networking?
  • Are you tired of events that drain your time and energy?
  • Do you lack confidence in selling yourself?
  • Are you looking for your dream work/life balance?
  • Do you hate networking meetings focused on referrals and selling, but still want to grow your connections?


Inside the Introverts Business Lounge we're about conversation, building genuine relationships, collaboration, fun and sharing of ideas and expertise, and not all about sales and selling.


Support - Conversation - Friendship - Confidence - Growth

    


Meet your host: Janine Friston

The Supporter and Connector behind 1000's of female businesses since 2018

  Hi there, I’m Janine, introverted networking host, networking mentor, podcaster, small business mentor and supporter of female entrepreneurs. 


I LOVE connecting people and helping them grow their confidence, audience and business. But it's not always been like that for me. As an introvert, I struggled with networking events when I started in business back in 2018. I felt unwelcome and uncomfortable with the sales-focused, clicky environments.  


I wanted a more relaxed, professional space to meet likeminded business owners.  When I couldn't find one, I created my own which has now evolved into the Female Business Network. 


Here, we focus on community, conversations, and authentic relationship-building.  We host smaller events where everyone is heard and supported, and we're about growing your business naturally and confidently.  


Being a woman in business is tough, especially when it comes to childcare responsibilities, often limited time and lacking energy.  For introverted, shy or quieter individuals, it can feel overwhelming and exhausting!  

But it's possible to balance work and life while growing your business.  


Inside the Introverts Business Lounge you'll find support and connections that let you be yourself. Our online events will boost your confidence in talking about your business. You will grow your audience, learn new ideas, and feel more confident with your messaging.  With me as your cheerleader and mentor, you can navigate any challenges ahead with ease.

FAQ's

Please reach us at janine@femalebusinessnetwork.co.uk if you cannot find an answer to your question.

We meet around 6 times a month, so there’s a day and time to suit most people. You can choose to attend all of the meetings, or just some of them.


  

No, we are not about the sales pitch. We’re about conversations. However, I do ask everyone to introduce themselves and how they help their clients. 15-20 seconds maximum. This is so we all get to know each other better, and you can get more from each meeting.


Not normally. Our online meetings are smaller and more intimate – perfect for introverts and those who are new to networking and business. 


  

You’ll find others in our community are the same. We’re a diverse group of new and more experienced business owners, so we’re all there to help and support you. We’ve been there, learned from doing so and happy to pass our experience to each other.


We can’t guarantee this, although often work is referred between members naturally. By attending consistently, building relationships and being more visible, other members will be aware of you and your business. 


As a Community Member, the membership fee is for 12 months. You can contact us any time before the end of the 12 months to cancel, otherwise a further 12 month payment will be taken.

The Forever Member is just that - nothing else to pay, and enjoy all the current and upcoming networking, promo and learning benefits of the group.
