Global Online Speed Networking (GOSN)
Our Global Online Speed Networking Event, in association with MMT, for October was an awesome and fun event. We had podcasters, VAs, coaches, Web designers, graphic designers, app developers, and so many more join us for a fun 2 hours of networking. We have heard of so many connections being made and collaborations taking place. It is astounding the power of people being genuinely themselves and building on a business relationship first before even talking about business!
We even had an epic After party where some of us grabbed a glass of our favourite beverage and just got to know each other a whole lot better. We even had a New Tribe Member join us because of this relationship building session.
We had a Tech room for those wanting to learn how to install this amazing software and how to use it. We had networking rooms where many connections were made and coffees booked. This is what we live for, to see relationships being build before any business is done!
Congratulations to the GOSN Task Force for all their hard work in the background to make this successful. You guys are freakin’ amazing! Megan Deers, Janine Lingenfelder, Sommerville Lombard, & Darlene Petrie.
We also want to thank Explore VAN for sponsoring the Room Hosts for the event. You ladies are absolutely incredible.
If you want to come to our next exciting event where you will make awesome business connections, then register for November –>>> https://zurl.co/i2qn
Explore VAN (Virtual Assistant Network)
Explore VAN October was a smashing success!!!!
Just look at this VAN go! WOW! A massive shoutout to all the Virtual Assistants that attended Explore VAN today!
You ladies (and gents) are the backbone of the economy and Explore ProTech! We adore you!
Our theme for October was Cyber Security. This went down very well with everyone that attended. We were given info on how to prevent our systems from being hacked to virus protection to password protection.
Quote of the day: “Don’t think you won’t be hacked, prepare like you will be!”
A special thanks to TEAM LEADERS Sommerville Lombard from The Sommerville Agency, Janine Lingenfelder from Jelani Sales, and all the other Virtual Assistants working tirelessly to grow this very important support network for our tribe!
Tribal Council
During the tribal council, we take everything we’ve learned and shared in all other meetings and see how we can actually use them. There, you’ll get input from other tribe members for a balanced perspective.
This is a fun and safe space to talk about your business and where you need help. Tribe members are always willing to give you input and/or refer the right people to help you.
Here is what some members had to say:
“Great laughs and advise shared. How else can it be? We are the tribe, and we make things happen. Kudos to the founders and the members!”
“I am so grateful I attended this morning. Helping others, sharing and finding solutions. Time well spent!”
“Had lots of fun and got great advice in today’s tribal council. Thanks tribies, you’re the best. “
“Oh wow, you just missed a super interesting Tribal Council. We have managed to formulate some cool and exciting plans to solve our various issues, and the answers were in front of our eyes all along, it only took some fresh perspectives to spot them! I am super excited, @Lesetja Mokou , for our plan! Thanks Peter! This is the reason I joined this tribe!”
What an amazing group of entrepreneurs! If you aren’t there then you really are missing out.
Referral Circle
During the Referral Circle, the focus is on getting to know each other so that we can refer each other. 🙂 Here we build strong business relationships that help us grow. At the beginning of each session, we have an entrepreneur give us a short presentation. We all learn so much during these presentaions, that you walk away feeling just that little more wiser than when you arrived.

Entrepreneurs in their Natural Habitat
This is the heart of Explore ProTech. Having coffee with someone to get to know them better and see how you can help them. This tribe is absolutely brilliant at having coffee chats with each other. You guys really make all the hard work we pput into this Tribe, really worth it!
Keep having those coffee, putting a screenshot of your coffee and letting us know how they went!
** I am LOVING that Pikachu in the background Carina **
Do it the Explore Protech Way
Coffee First, Business Later!
The mindset coming into a network is building the relationship to get to know the person behind the business first, then “How can I help refer YOU?” without expectation of business in return. This way everyone will support everyone else in growing their business. You will do business with people in the TRIBE (and that’s good) but if this is your objective you won’t grow your business.
To reiterate this, 2 Meetups were planned, one for Tribe members in Pretoria & Johannesburg, and the other for the Cape Town Tribies. This is the update on how they went:
Explore ProTech Cape Town Meetup
It was an absolutely incredible magical moment in time when us local to Cape Town, South Africa Explore ProTech members got together at Hillcrest Wine Farm and Restaurant.
The conversation was so good we arrived at 12:00 and stayed until 18:00. We discussed 5% work and 95% everything else, which is how it should be!
Just a MASSIVE thank you to every single entrepreneur that joined us for this get together. The feeling of camaraderie around the table was UNBEATABLE. This is what #real friendship is made of. I can’t believe that I’m lucky enough to have all of these amazing friends that all just happen to be some of the most amazing entrepreneurs in the world.
Also a massive thank you to Hillcrest Wine Farm and Restaurant and the BRILLIANT staff there. They had to move us, because of a booking when we just got there so they gave us a round of drinks for free… and took SUCH good care of us for the whole rest of the day. Thank you so much for to all of you beautiful people that took care of us and a very special shoutout to our waitress as well – Keisha Rhodes – you were amazing. 
Explore ProTech Johannesburg/Pretoria Meetup
We just had our very first Explore ProTech Entrepreneurial Haven Gauteng Meetup at the Protea Ranch in Centurion. The venue was in full bloom, with stunning sunset colours everywhere you looked. There were scenes that looked like they were taken straight out of a Magazine. We had a blast getting to know each other in this very intimate setting.
From the Host, Hendrik Baird:
“As with all things in life, getting started is the first hurdle, and I was so glad to host Janine Lingenfelder, Klarissa, and MEIYA G. NTHOESANE at our beautiful venue.”
I know there has been talk of serious FOMO by other ProTechians, so we are looking at organizing the next one in early 2023.
Well Done Tribies! You make my heart sing with joy!!!
CHECK OUT THE FABULOUS PHOTOS THAT WERE TAKEN AT THE MEETUP:
Special moments in the Tribe
One of our newest Tribe members, Sondra Ray, has just become a grandmother (Grammie) to two beautiful identical twin boys. Maximus and Andrew are terribly cute and already showing their different personalities.
Congratulations Grammie Sondra. Enjoy every moment with them before you come back to us!
Strangely we had an alien decide to visit us on Zoom.
Unfortunately we think his planet has daylight savings time, as he was an hour late and he was greeted by an empty room.
Next time!!!
