Our
Story
Unlocking connection, creativity and collaboration for working professionals through PLAY!
The Business Misfit Network is a community that does it differently - where we operate from the values of trust, respect, integrity, and FUN! Where PLAY is the centre of all of our events so that you leave feeling inspired, restored, and ready to unlock your full potential and purpose!
Where we want you to do business in alignment with your own unique brand of magic! Showing up unapologetically, away from stuffy rooms and 60-second pitches, and into fun social events that allow you to do business differently... so that you and your brand can become magnetic!
We are the misfits of networking… we connect as REAL people, building REAL relationships and supporting each other in our own little misfit family. Each meeting is centred on activities that bring pleasure and joy to your working week, allowing human connection through fun and rejuvenation!
The in-person meetings run every month in Bristol, Bath, Cheltenham and Wood Green, London, and soon to be Brixton, Birmingham and Brighton! We gather, connect, build REAL relationships AND create income generating business opportunities through finding potential clients, collaborations or connections!!
On top of this, there is an opportunity each month for a member to showcase their business and speak and run a fun activity at the networking event. There is also an opportunity to connect at our national online meeting on the last Thursday of every month!
This group is open to entrepreneurs, sole traders, creatives, small and large businesses… so if you want to connect and grow your business, while having fun and building real relationships and friendships - come and join us!
Every meeting is full of fun, conversation and connection! Where there will be ample opportunity to connect with a range of businesses, as well as a slice of play that will help you to grow and restore yourself and your business!
You can visit the events one-off… or, as you’ll love it so much, you can become a member for just £20 pm which will give you access to all of the in-person meetings and locations, the national online meetings, the fortnightly co-working flow sessions, the Misfit vault and the private Business Misfit community group.
SO come and join the party... Let’s play and do business our way!
Hosted by Emma Eirene,
Founder & CEO of Joyous Misfit & The Business Misfit Network.
"I wanted to create a business family that was built on strong values of integrity, trust and respect... with a slice of play, fun and creativity! Where we gather and create a beautiful community, supporting one another in growing our businesses. Helping each other to become more visible, more aligned with our purpose and mission, and creating a business family that leads to new clients, new collaborations and purposeful, meaningful relationships that are supportive and nurturing in this world of business that often leaves us feeling alone!
It's time to do it differently...
It's time to: Connect. Create. Collaborate!"
CONNECT | CREATE | COLLABORATE

What makes us different?
01
CONNECT
All of our events are focused on connecting, in a REAL and professional way, but with the fun twist! The Business Misfit network is all about creating your business family, where we get to know each other in a personal and professional way through play. Where we support one another's growth and success, we work with each other, we refer each other and we facilitate fun, playful opportunities to connect... so that we become a living, breathing professional family... and you have a community that you trust and grow with!
02
CREATE
We would not be the business misfits without a creating a little magic each time we meet! With each meeting adding a slice of play, value, inspiration and fun, we aim to get your creative juices flowing so that you leave feeling revitalised, ready to go and make magic within your own business! Because it's your magic that makes you unique... which of course leads to more sales! Because you are awesome, so the more you shine, the more people want to buy!
03
COLLABORATE
One of the best business outcomes, alongside the income generating opportunities and rejuvenation that you feel from letting your hair down and playing, is the potential collaborations and partnerships that can be formed! And when you get to know people in a real and authentic way, why would you not want to work alongside them to create some business magic together! That way, you build your business family and make money! Win win!
