Synaxis

"Synaxis is more than just a network, it's a friendly circle that has helped me overcome certain difficulties in my business project. The human approach of its members has a motivating effect and is a source of new ideas to move forward. The network also provided me with new suppliers who have a similar approach to mine."

"As young entrepreneurs, we often have the impression that we don't have enough time to get involved in anything beyond our own business, especially when we're just starting out. That's a big mistake! In fact, getting invoved in a network can provide necessary fuel to our entrepreneurial endeavour.

I found more than just the usual business network when I became an "active" member of Synaxis. Honestly, in 1996 I would never have imagined finding so many collaborators... many of whom I am still working with today! These people are more than just collaborators, several of them have become true friends."

"As a self-employed worker or micro-entrepreneur, you have to take on all the roles of your business, and so you end up carrying all the weight on your shoulders. That is where networking becomes so important: it allows you to discuss with others who are living or have lived through the same steps. You can now do together what you couldn't do alone when you trade competencies, management skills, advice and experience."

"Synaxis ... creates a place of exceptional mutual support. I've had the opportunity to visit other networks that didn't have the quality of encouragement and guidance that Synaxis has. Without Synaxis, there were good chances that I would have quit. It's not obvious how to be an artist starting her own business. With the advice, service exchanges and networking I got from Synaxis, I am still an entrepreneur... and happy to be one."

"All the benefits that this network have brought me are incredible... from all points of view. Besides the innumerable financial and professional advantages that I've received, I've also made some solid friendships that nourish the soul. Never has a support network been so profitable!"
