You show up to another breakfast, business card in hand—only to be cornered by a salesperson. Or you join a group that fizzles out a month later.
You don’t need more events.
You need better connections.
That’s why The Local Link exists.
Even as a newcomer, joining Central Coast Local Link has positively impacted my business. The online portal offers more than just a directory—it's a vibrant, engaged community. I've already connected with inspiring local entrepreneurs who share a passion for regional growth and collaboration. I'm excited to continue building relationships and contributing to the area's business landscape.

Being part of the Local Link Community has positively influenced my business. The shared advice, weekly goals, and support from like-minded owners offer constant encouragement. I've connected with people from diverse industries I wouldn’t have met otherwise. Thanks to this network, my business has grown, and I’ve formed meaningful friendships.

Initially, I was skeptical about joining The Local Link, thinking it was just another online networking group. But out of respect for Brendan Rogers, I gave it a try—and I’m glad I did. It’s more than networking; it’s about genuine connections, support, and shared growth. I now interact with fellow business owners daily and truly enjoy being part of this community. It’s an excellent group, and I’m pleased to be involved.

Running multiple businesses can be a constant juggle, but Local Link offers a refreshing space to pause, reflect, and share ideas with like-minded people. Brendan has built a warm, welcoming environment where ideas flow and wins are celebrated. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking connection in the often-isolating world of business ownership.

At first, I thought The Local Link was just another online networking group, but I joined out of respect for Brendan Rogers—and I’m very glad I did. It goes beyond networking; it’s about real connection, support, shared learning, and helping each other grow our businesses. I now find myself engaging with fellow business owners daily and truly enjoying it. It’s a supportive, collaborative group, and I’m proud to be part of it.

When I first heard about The Local Link, I was hesitant—it felt like just another online group. This community goes far beyond basic networking. It’s a space where business owners support, learn from, and genuinely help one another grow. I’ve become actively engaged, connecting with others daily and finding real value in the experience. It’s a group rooted in collaboration, and I’m proud to be a part of it.

When Brendan first mentioned The Local Link, I thought, ‘Great… another thing to manage.’ I was wrong. It’s simple, highly relevant, and full of local people serious about business growth. The events calendar alone is a game-changer—I’ve reconnected with old contacts and made new ones leading to real opportunities. This community just makes sense.
-Marc Charette, Owner - Work Pics 360
As a busy business owner working solo, I often felt isolated despite having a thriving business. The Local Link has changed that completely. It’s an active, supportive online space where I feel seen, heard, and genuinely encouraged. Unlike other groups that shut me out as ‘competition’, here collaboration is celebrated. I’m so grateful to be part of a community where local connection truly matters.
-Catherine Mason, Owner - Virtually Together
The Local Link has been a game-changer for me. It’s a genuine space where local business owners connect, share real conversations, and grow together. I’ve made fantastic connections and gained tips that have already helped my business. More than networking, it’s a mental boost and a reminder we’re not alone. Every small business owner should be here—it just makes business better.
- Sean Grobbelaar, Restaurateur & Futurist
I love checking into The Local Link to see what the Central Coast network is up to and join the weekly check-ins. It’s a great hub for finding local networking events, but the best part for me is the simple tips and tricks Brendan shares. It keeps me connected, learning, and in the loop with what’s happening locally.
-Scott Palmer, Financial Planner
The Local Link is a fantastic space for local small business owners. Its online format fits perfectly around my busy schedule as a mum and business owner, making it easy to stay connected. The thought-provoking posts, conversations, and resources keep me engaged, and I always leave feeling inspired and supported by this encouraging community.
