Thank you all for such encouraging comments!!!!!
Meg, glad to find another Joan Stewart fan--I agree, she's fabulous. Wouldn't it be cool to have her do a PR campaign for you? Failing that, I'm glad she offers so much great and useful info. I have learned a lot from her work.
Joan, your group sounds like a great one! I belong to several organizations and totally encourage networking! It's a great investment but also offers some immediate sales results sometimes, too.
Erin, you might want to look at my
Networking articles and links to find some possiblities. And, if all else, fails, start your own! Then, write a press release about it! LOL--seriously, go to a Chamber meeting and find like-minded individuals and form your own group. You can also try the business tax office and see if they'll give you info on new businesses. It's public info, and in fact, is usually published in the Business Journals.
Good Luck and thanks again for reading!
