I don’t often get to regular networking groups but when I can I go to the ones that resonate most with me and my values.
Today I went to one of my favourites which is run by 2 amazingly generous women Leanne Blaney and Kirsty Fields - Ocean Network.
To add to this the night before I was privileged to be asked if I’d do the 5 minute business spotlight. I loved also that the main attraction was Belinda Rigano. She is a Pinterest expert and funnily enough her business is called Your Social Bee - the bee connection is real.
So, whilst I can talk endlessly about my passions, entrepreurship, connecting etc to actually talk about me, my business accomplishments I always feel challenged to do so. So I prepared the following and a tip at the end for those attending.
Hi, I'm Robyn Baker – the 'Boring Writer' who writes things no one wants to read… until they absolutely have to.
I don’t write novels or catchy social media posts. I write the serious, strategic, sleep-inducing stuff that wins grants, secures tenders, gets funding approved, and builds sustainable business growth. It's the kind of writing that moves money, shapes policy, and drives impact – and it has to be bulletproof.
With over 40 years of experience, I’ve helped thousands of clients turn complex business ideas into clear, compelling, and fundable solutions. I’m the founder of Busy Connecting, a trusted name in Australia for strategic writing and business development. My sweet spot? Helping startups, SMEs, and organisations take their next big leap – with words that work, systems that scale, and strategies that stick.
What I offer isn’t just writing – it’s high-level strategic thinking translated into practical action.
That includes:
• Winning grant and tender applications (tens of millions secured)
• Business planning and mentoring – from napkin ideas to investor-ready
• Strategic communication that gets stakeholders nodding
• Sustainable growth systems, digital solutions, and AI integration for real-world results.
I work deeply and personally with every client – because templates don’t win money. Tailored strategy does.
I’m also a tech-lover, mentor, board member, and international speaker – but at the core, I’m someone who believes in building genuine connections and creating change, one well-written sentence at a time.
So yes – I might be 'The Boring Writer' on paper, but what I write funds futures, builds legacies, and helps good people do great things.
MY TIPS - is something that needs to be used as a tool and whilst I’d never advocate using in a funding application etc as it’s not always right - you can shorten your answers with it or polish it.
Why not search for yourself and see what you get. Tell Ai to investigate you and see what it says and ensure if the answers are incorrect that you update and correct them and jump on all your socials too to ensure your information is current.
