Since December I’ve been frequenting the North Shore Coffee Morning (check out my posts here, and Christmas Eve video here) which is a great get together of entrepreneurs, social media enthusiasts, and professionals.
There is always someone interesting to meet, something to learn, and more importantly, value to add.
On the down side, getting to Mosman from the Hills is not the easiest thing to do between the “school run” and “get to work” traffic. Worth it? Indubitably.
As it turns out, plenty of the frequenters of NSCM live, or work, right around the corner. So a couple of us are starting the North West Coffee Mornings or NWCM.
We’re planning to meet at the “Little Rock Cafe” in the North Rocks Westfield.
As Little Rock opens at 7am, we can start earlier, giving everyone an opportunity to get to the office or client meetings. I’ll probably be there from about 7:30am (but don’t hold me to it 
)
Already the following have mentioned they’ll be joining us:
- @servantofchaos
- @schmediachick
- @IggyPintado
- @KerryPintado
- @KeanM
- @JaySingh
From my experience, the conversation will be rich, the inspiration incredible, but mostly the networking invaluable.
See you in the morning, because “Good Coffee Knows No Boundaries”

Great news Roger! I am firm believer in the power of coffee mornings. You might have noticed I occasionally tweet and blog about them
I’ve been blogging about “coffee mornings” since December 2008 and haven’t looked back since. They attract inspiring, smart, energetic people from diverse backgrounds who form communities and friendships for life.
Here are some blog posts about “coffee mornings”

All the best for the first event, and watch it grow. It will!
