About Us

 

 

 
 

History

Over 10 years ago there was need for small business to develop solid foundations and Donna Willon felt strongly that networking was the key. With 25 years of business management expertise, Willon became a pioneer in the field of networking in 1994 by establishing her innovative idea, Focused Networking™ Ltd. (FNL).

Within three months three additional chapters were launched throughout the Lower Mainland and by 1996, with eight chapters and over 200 members, Focused Networking™ was the Lower Mainland’s answer to networking for the business professional.

Well respected in the business community, FNL helps members create dynamic business growth through effective business relationships. They truly live up to their name and slogan.

Philosophy

We believe it is important for the small business person to build strong relationships, create strategic alliances and share business opportunities.

We believe there is enough business for everyone and success means teamwork: means more we and less me. By working as a team and honoring our creativity and entrepreneurship, we are the community minded providers of business information and related services.

Vision

Our vision is to help individuals prosper through business networking. Networking is the process of developing and nurturing personal and professional contacts in order to share referrals, information, support and energy.

 

Mission

Focused Networking exchanges referrals and shares business with all members to assist them in their business growth. Our mission is to improve members’ economic welfare through an educational and social forum and to become community minded providers of business information and related services.

USP

What makes our programs unique?

1. Only one company per industry is represented in each group.

2. Groups are supportive and non-threatening. We do not require group members to bring a fixed number of referrals to each meeting.

3. The focus of meetings is to develop and nurture personal and business skills.

4. Training and education are key  components of our programs.

The Future

We can only grow as fast as you do because at Focused Networking™ relationships come first. Our vision includes a network of networks spanning the continent as we inspire others to nurture relationships and share their energy and support. After all, anything is possible.
