ONE% CLUB — FIRST MEETUP

ONE% CLUB — FIRST MEETUP

Sat, Jun 13, 11:00 PM
From ONE% CLUB: Growth & Personal Development Community

This is the first official ONE% CLUB gathering. Not a seminar. Not a pitch night. Just a simple space for people who are focused on growth, mindset, and building a better life 1% at a time. We’re bringing together like-minded people who are interested in personal development, entrepreneurship, discipline, and real connection. The format is simple. Open networking for most of the night so people can connect naturally, share ideas, and meet others on a similar path. At some point, we’ll do a short roundtable where everyone shares who they are and what they’re currently focused on. No pressure. No formal speeches. Just real conversations and good energy. Whether you’re building a business, working on yourself, or just looking to meet driven people in your area, you’re welcome to come through. This is the first one. Founding energy only.
