Jack's comments

Lori, thanks for the book event today. It was very refreshing and a great reminder of my own sales skills. Sometimes I just need to remember what I already know. I always come away with one great idea and I did that today.

Warm Regards, Jack

This event keeps me focused on finishing my chapters of my business book. I have not missed this event in the last 8 months. I schedule my month around these 3 hours each month. Great information and high energy make up this time together. Howard is a master for keeping everything on track. I will give another copy of my first book away. "Freedom From Work" for some lucky workaholic. See you all there.

I had to learn this the hard way ( thank God for Biznik) in my first business with a large number of employees. I was averaging 100 hours a week or more. 30 years later in another business I was working 3 to 4 hours a week. It is attainable. When I opened that business I left for Tahiti with no way to reach me after 3 weeks. When I came back everything was running just fine. In those 30 years I also learned how to hire. Check out my article on hiring your first employee. Great wisdom Dike.

Howard, can't make your event today as I am going to be at the event at the public library at 12:30 with Liam Brown. See you next time.

Jack

Couldn't have happened to two nicer people. We are in a new age where integrety pays off and competition is being replaced by cooperation. We all need each other even if we are in the same business. In any business if the foundation is built with concrete and rebar the rest will stand the test of time. Dan and Laura you have created a long lasting building.

Congratulations, Jack

Howard, you did an amazing job of timing to get everyone heard. This event ended on time thanks to you. Every month you get better. Thanks for the work you put into this event. And thanks for the plug at the start of my one minute. It sure made it easier.

Iv'e been waiting for this revolution for 25 years. Please read the book by Daniel Pink "A whole New Mind". I now have read it three times and it is just what your talking about. It is a great feeling to know that I am not alone in what I am attepting to do for the rest of my life. I have created over 20 businesses starting from nothing and thought this was normal. According to your article it will become the norm. Thanks for writing such an informative piece. Another creative mind. Jack Fecker

Howard,

Very good meeting however I have some comments. First of all we should end at 2:00 no matter what. If the speaker has more to offer it would be better to leave them wanting more and to come to the next meeting. Make an announcement about cell phones in the beginning. People dropping in without a RSVP should not be able to speak as this is not fair to the ones that follow the rules. This part is getting out of hand. Some just come to promote thier thing and then bug out. Suppoting all the others means to be there for the 3 hous. More to come later. All in all you run a very professonal meeting

This is a great workshop Howard and I agree with Richard. Everyone should go to this as we are told when growing up not to brag or praise ourselves. That is one big bad myth to put in our past.

Jack

Howard,

I believe this will be my 7th Round Table. Anyone who is thinking of creating a book should by all means attend every meeting. Looking forward to another great meeting.

Jack

Fran, This is a good start for most people. I try to get people to focus on thier 100th birthday and what did they accomplish? Most people or almost all people can't do this. Your idea of 3 years I believe most people can do. This gives folks something to focus on instead of worrying about thier next job or paycheck.

Keep up the good work, Jack

Bob ~ Thanks for thinking of us...sorry we missed out...we'll get it the next round. (Thanks, Valerie!) Regards, Jack and Jane

We just saw this...and are seriously thinking about it...but see you are full up. Let us know if you can handle two more....or if there are any cancellations. We would love to carpool with folks...we need a vacation!

Regards, Jack and Jane

Way to go Lisa. I started a mastermind group back in the early 80's and it went on for years. Was one of the best things I did. I'm so glad your bringing this form of focus to Biznik. It looks like it is hughly successful already. Good luck

Jack

It was a pleasure meeting you today at lunch. I'm not much for advertising but once I put and ad in the Seattle Times giving away a loaf of bread if they brought the ad to my restaurant and had dinner. It was called THE BREADLINE RESTAURANT so it was a great selling tool and taught me a wonderful lesson. That was to give every customer that came to my business something that they didn't expect. Iv'e been doing this ever since 1974. I love promotins so I guess this would be considerd a marketing promotion.....Jack
