Learning From My Mistakes

My name is Angel Cruzado and the Founder of http://www.GuysAndGirlsNextDoor.com. Since April 10 I have spent over 6,000 labor hours with 20+ people building a company from an idea Mary Starks and I had while watching Millionaire Matchmaker on Bravo TV.

I have learned a lot. It's now time to share my experience. I would like to share with a small working team my insights of building a small company in a down economy using social technologies. I made several mistakes, but I also built a company in less than six months. Let's network and share with each other mistakes we have made.

On my side, what I can provide is how I used the following technologies:

• oDesk.com
• 99designs.com
• Craigslist.org.com
• Dibspace.com.com
• Skype.com
• Western Union
• Paypal
• Google Applications
• Facebook
• Wordpress (Blog)
• Twitter

There is a lot of information to cover in a short time frame. I believe I have only scratched the surface using these technologies. Would be interested in your insight to these technologies as well.

What you will get from me is a candid overview of what worked and didn't work for me using these technologies. Attendees will learn how to creatively address business problems using these technologies.

To ensure that you completely benefit from the working network workshop, please bring your laptop and a problem statement you are experiencing pertaining to the use of labor in your small business.

This event is free. Well... almost. To keep the network conversation flowing, please bring a bottle of wine you would like to share with other Biznik Members.
