Elizabeth, I would be happy to do a needs analysis and look around for the best product out there if you want. Even if in the end you don't end up using me it is smart to look at all your options. Thank you Lara for the good word and thanks to Beth Cosker who alerted me about this topic. Hope everyone had a great weekend and Monday! Jessica

I'm so bummed I have to cancel- I have a wedding that I forgot about... Boohoo, Jessica

I'll wave at you as I roll by on my Rollerblades- my typical Tues/Wed night work out. I'll wear my Biznik T-shirt today. Jessica

Yay!!!! Add me sweetie! Thanks

I tried it and was cancelled on day of. I will be trying it again for sure in a week or two when things calm down a bit.

Uptown Espresso in Belltown on 4th has a decent back room that you can reserve. I've also offered my conference room at my office in the past for other Biznik events. It is a big round table with seating for 10 around the table (roomily-is that a word?)with another10-15 lining the walls. Probably better for class type events.

I also down for helping and have lots of fundraising and event planning experience. I love to help- you know me Magic and Charity fundraising- 2 of my favorite things!

Congratulations! As a Momprenuer myself it looks like a cool site! I'm definitely bookmarking it!

So bummed I can't make it. I forgot that I am going to be out of town this weekend. Have fun! I'll defintely be seeing this later.

Dan does that text message group that we had a Bizjam still exist and is there a way we could utilize that for things like this?

I posted this in the general discussion but thought I would also post it in the original thread as well. I have talked to the owner and think that either Friday August 3rd or Friday August 10th from 2-6 would be good unless a Thursday would be better. Any thoughts? Jessica

Hey All, Awhile ago there was some discussion about having a daytime "Happy Hour" or "Coffee Clache" type networking event for all those Biznik's that evenings are their prime client meeting time. I volunteered to organize it but with life and work getting in the way never got around to it.

Well I found a location that I really like and think would work well but now I just need to pick a day and time...

So here are my questions.

Are you interested in daytime networking? If so what time of day- Late Morning(sorry I don't do early mornings as those are reserved for my son), Lunch, or Afternoon? Do you have preferred day of the week? Any answers will be helpful. I want to get this on the calendar with in a week.

Thanks, Jessica Hale

6:00 work for me... Just means I have to get back to work on this case that I have been putting off this afternoon so all is ready for my Monday appointment.

Get craniosacral massage. Biznik Sierra Kennedy managed to shut my brain down with it (a mighty feat indeed) a few weeks ago. It was amazing! My brain is similar to yours in that it is always running a million miles a minute. I was really nice to just think of nothing- I don't think I had gone to that level of quiet and serenity in years. Other activities that I do would be dancing, rollerblading, hiking, and other intense physical activities- they make me stop thinking about everything else but them but I wouldn't call them serene. Also I do lose myself in books. And don't forget the simple pleasure of rough housing with my son or laughing with my boyfriend and friends- but again not really quiet or serene.

That is cool that you have found an amazing way to relax and that it was as simple as a pool. Yay!

I might be able to make by 6-6:30.... Jessica

Having a business CC (Amex business is a good one) is really good not just for all the reasons listed prior... easy to track expenses- record keeping, moderate cash flow in times of "cash crunches", other perks/discounts but also having it in your business name builds credit for your business and further separates your personal and business finances. Building your business credit is important for all the same reasons it is important to have good personal credit and it is important and good to separate your business and personal finances as much as possible. So you don't unknowingly put your personal house at risk or other things. If you want to go more in depth on this let me know.

I'm looking forward to the Seattle one!

I use them to record classes or one on one assistance with a case and I always ask first. They are really nice to be able to go back and make sure you get all the information you need. Jessica

Michael, I specialized in working with business owners on setting up small business retirement plans ie 401k's etc. and assisting with other employee benefits. I would happy to sit down and walk you through your options and give you a ton of information. Also like was mentioned already my the IRS website has a lot of really good information. My first questions are what entity are you and how many employees do you have? You can call me at 206-755-6236 or 206-283-6661 ext 117 or email at jhale@wradvisors.com. I look forward to talking more with you.
