Turning Passion into Profit: Success Stories from AWGN's Entrepreneurial Women 🌟 Following our recent discussion on the rise of side hustles within the Australian Women's Golf Network, we've been overwhelmed by the positive response from our members. It's inspiring to see how many of you have embraced entrepreneurship and turned your passions into thriving businesses! Allow us to share a few success stories from our very own AWGN community: 👚 - One member has channeled her love for sports into a successful children's sports clothing line, proving that combining personal interests with a market gap can result in a winning business idea. 🌱 - Another member has transformed her passion for wellness into a series of workshops promoting a healthy work-life balance. Her sessions have been met with rave reviews and are making a tangible difference in the lives of attendees. 💆️ - Through retraining in therapy services, one member has established a thriving practice that provides much-needed support and guidance to those in need. 📚 - Last but not least, a member has taken her love for writing and created a writing studio, offering services such as copywriting, editing, and creative writing workshops. This showcases how a passion for the written word can be transformed into a successful business venture. These remarkable success stories are just a glimpse into the immense talent and potential within the Australian Women's Golf Network. We encourage you to continue sharing your experiences, as they inspire others and foster a supportive environment where everyone can learn and grow together. To further support our entrepreneurial members, we're planning a series of breakfast networking events focused on starting and nurturing a side hustle. Keep an eye out for more information on these exciting opportunities! Let's keep the conversation going – share your thoughts and ideas on how we can continue supporting women in their entrepreneurial endeavours. Together, we can empower and elevate one another in the world of business. #auswomensgolf #members

About us
In early 2021 our Founder Jessica Eden wondered why there weren't more women playing golf. Surrounded by men on the golf course, she had an aha moment... The Australian Women's Golf Network was born by parent company Bison United, which sponsored the first women's golf and networking event for women in construction and property. 24 beginner golfers were invited to celebrate International Women's Day, learn a few golf skills led by female PGA coaches, and enjoy a lovely lunch with local wines while listening to very inspirational guest speakers - it was an enormous success! Almost three years on, with over 4,500 women in the network nationally, corporate sponsors, and the support of Australia's best golf clubs we’re continuing to challenge and grow in a traditionally male sport. The women in AWGN are diverse both culturally, by age, and professionally and this is something we are all very proud of. AWGN offers a valuable mix of fun golf events at bucket list Australian golf courses, on-course professional coaching and private clinics, high-level business networking, and the opportunity for women to maximise their true potential. We also recently introduced fine wine and food events, inviting the men in our network to join in on non-golf days. On behalf of the team at AWGN & Bison United, we look forward to meeting you and introducing you to some of the wonderful and truly inspirational people in our network.

Nurturing Entrepreneurship and Side Hustles: The Power of a Strong Network As the Australian Women's Golf Network continues to bring together professional women from diverse backgrounds, we've noticed an exciting trend emerging: the rise of side hustles and entrepreneurial ventures. Through fostering a supportive environment, AWGN events have become a platform for women to explore and discuss new business ideas. Some of our members are venturing into uncharted territories, from creating children's sports clothing lines and wellness workshops to pursuing education in therapy services and even cultivating rare plants. This entrepreneurial spirit not only demonstrates the incredible talent and determination of our members but also highlights the power of a strong community. As professional women continue to seek work opportunities beyond the traditional career path, we are dedicated to empowering and connecting our members. By sharing experiences, resources, and knowledge, we can collectively support one another in achieving our goals and turning dreams into reality. We invite you to join the conversation and share your side hustles, business ideas, or success stories. Let's continue to uplift, inspire, and learn from one another as we navigate the exciting world of entrepreneurship! #entrepreneur #network 🚀

Golf: More Than Just a Game - Exploring Its Mental Health Benefits In today’s fast-paced world, mental well-being has become a top priority. Golf, a sport enjoyed by millions, has been found to provide numerous benefits for our mental health. In this article, we explore how the combination of fresh air, physical activity, and social engagement make golf a powerful tool for enhancing well-being. 1. Natural stress relief Stepping onto the golf course allows players to immerse themselves in nature, away from the pressures of daily life. The serene environment and physical activity help release endorphins, reducing stress and anxiety levels while promoting relaxation and mental clarity. 2. Social interaction Golf provides opportunities to connect with others, whether it’s a friendly competition or a casual round with friends. Building and maintaining these social connections can significantly improve mental health, enhancing self-esteem and feelings of belonging. 3. Focus and mindfulness Golf requires concentration and mental focus, helping players develop mindfulness skills. This heightened awareness can extend beyond the course, assisting in managing stress and improving mental resilience in daily life. 4. Physical fitness Engaging in regular physical activity is a key component of maintaining good mental health. Golf provides a moderate workout, contributing to overall fitness and promoting the release of mood-enhancing chemicals in the brain. 5. Boosting self-esteem As players progress in their golf game, they experience a sense of accomplishment, which can significantly boost self-esteem. Learning new techniques, overcoming challenges, and observing personal growth all contribute to improved mental well-being. Golf is more than just a game!
