Malaysia Entrepreneurs Network (Johor Bahru) Monthly Meetup

Hello all Johor Bahru entrepreneurs!

We will be meeting at The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf located at G-016 inside The Mid Valley Southkey Mall, please do not mix this up with the other Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf near the cinema.

Here is what you can expect from this monthly networking sessions:

• Hosted by the Singapore Entrepreneurs Network organizer, Nicholas Chan
• Same policy as the Kuala Lumpur chapter of no entrance fees for the event, but compulsory purchase of food and drinks by every attendee at the venue we are at.
• Free and easy networking, there is no seminar or selling pitch by the organizer.

Here are the Frequently Asked Questions of how the event will be run (courtesy of Hanniz, organizer of Kuala Lumpur chapter).

Q. What is the agenda of this monthly Malaysia Entrepreneur gathering?
A. We're back to a physical meetup and some of us out of practice on how to talk to others face to face. So let's start networking and asking questions such as what do you do, what brings you here and take it from there. As usual, try not to bore the other party with the history of your business. Rather, open the conversation with trending topics. Search google, there's lots.

Q. Is this a free to attend event?
A. Yes, you just have to pay the venue for the food/drinks you consume.

Q. I am not an entrepreneur/I am a student/I am thinking of becoming an entrepreneur/I am a government worker/I am a corporate worker/etc. Am I still allowed/able to come for the event?
A. Sure!

Q. I have this marvelous new method of making money the easy and fast way via Multi-Level Marketing/Personal Franchising/insert-other-similar-names...
A. PLEASE DO NOT TURN UP AND HARASS OUR ATTENDEES. And NO, I do not intend to answer your questions "why/what is wrong/why are you so closed minded/why are you etc etc".

Q. I have this great idea! But why don't you do it for me?
A. Malaysia Entrepreneurs Network is a volunteer driven initiative. We are under no obligation to do anything for you, and neither are my fellow co-organizers. That said, we welcome whoever wishes to organize an event series as long as you have commitment in running the events.
