Well, already a conflict. Sorry, I need to cancel.

As business and budgets change more often, it's been difficult for me and my businesses to make the hard choices on advertising and marketing myself without spending thousands of dollars to only receive a fraction of it back. I have noticed there are fewer Realtors placing paper ads and more ads on the internet: websites, blogging, and social networking websites, etc. I look forward hearing about current prospecting ideas. Thank you Bob, Judy and Lori

I will there. Let me know if you need any help with set up. Would you have time to look at our own current websites and show what can be done differently with Joomla?

James Ray is a great motivational speaker. I think everyone needs to listen to something great like the video we saw tonight more often.

Thank you Merideth and Jim for hosting this event. I also agree the room was comforable.

Joomla is way cool!

This was my first time hearing about Joomla. Who knew there were so many things you can do to get your website noticed. I am very impressed. I think more people need to know what you and Joomla can do.

Your first Biznik event was a success.

I agree with Lori that Bellingham events have value to them (and they are free). It does not work to charge for a event through Biznik. Biznik promotes collaboration not competition. I feel charging for events will make it more competitive with other similar members. This is not what Biznik is about. I believe in the power of support by my network, not how much I charge. (If I charge $1000 for a event does that mean I am more valuable?) I do agree if 40% don't show then the event was not important enough. That is good feedback. Try a different day, time, shorten the information or lengthen it, try coming to Bellingham. I know several locations to host events (for free of course). I know there is not one specific solution to this. Choose the way that best fits your business. Don't forget that Biznik is free to all unless you want the extras. This is just my 2 cents....

Bliss and I want to help get this event going. It seems there are plenty of interested people who would love to attend. Maybe Tshombe, Lori, and Jim can help us also. The question is "How can massage help your business" I can see so many answers to this question. Lets pick one.

This is the first time hearing about James Arthur Ray. I am excited to hear more.

This is something new for me. I hope I will understand everything. Tony, let me know if there is anything I can do to help before your event.

I am excited to meet Dan & Lara and hear all the new things being added. I have invited a few new Biznik members and they are excited also.

I might be a little late. I hope I don't miss anything important.

Today is the day to network and make a delicious meal. Since this is a Holiday, everyone should have plenty of time for this event.

I would love to figure out how to balance my multiple careers and which one to put more emphasis on marketing and advertising. I usually tell I am both and see which one seems more interesting to the person(s) I am talking to. I like things simple and straight forward. I am excited to hear what other people do while networking.

Two things I got from this event are two donuts (I always love food) and how it is very important that a person doing business needs to adapt to changes. That might mean doing something that may be uncomfortable or change to something completely different or do something like marketing the old fashion way. Lori and Tshombe are great together. Thank you.
