VENUE CHANGE!!! MOSAIC FIRE THIS WEEKEND CAUSED US TO MOVE TO Q CAFE. PLEASE SEE MAP TO THE RIGHT. THANKS!!

We gather monthly to discuss our biggest ideas for taking our business offerings to the next level. Using group collaboration, simple tools, and tips/tricks, we support each other in bringing our new product or service ideas to market, quickly, easily, and wisely.

Our last two events were very well-attended, fun, inspiring, and interactive, with great reviews:

  • "Great session and well worth attending. You did a wonderful job of engaging everyone in the process. "

  • "This was more than I anticipated. What a refreshing blend of passion and curiosity about what can be. The air was filled with innovation and readiness to help each other."

We work in small groups over lunch (outside on nice days), and bring sample products/materials for show 'n tell!

Who Should Attend: Passionate entrepreneurs ("Passioneers") who want to take the next big leap in their businesses.

Benefits:

*Get valuable input on your next big product/service idea from a group of supportive, creative entrepreneurs.

*Create a simple, powerful business model for evaluating the marketability of your ideas and their profitability.

*Evaluate your offering's positioning vis-a-vis the competition/alternatives.

*Be held accountable each month for moving towards implementation.

*Build community, have fun, explore your passions, and think outside of the box...despite the economy!

As host for this event, I contribute 15+ years of experience in facilitating groups and small businesses in new product, program, and service development. As a business growth consultant, my passion is to support solopreneurs and small business owners in taking that next big leap.

The Mosaic Coffee House provides a relaxed, comfortable environment with food and beverages (for a donation) and convenient street parking. Eat lunch or a snack outside, if the weather permits!

    There is a fire at Mosaic today or rather in the church above it so you might want to make sure they will be open.
