Don't Drop the Ball!

Diversify!
What get's your motor running?
We started today's meeting passing Mike's medicine ball around the room. The first time, as we were still waking up, Mike clocked us at a sluggish 24 seconds. He then motivated us to work together better with the threat of pushups. Anyone who's been to one of Mike's bootcamps knows what a threat this is, and we ended up reducing our time by over 30%, clocking in at 16 seconds! And already working together as a well oiled networking machine!
Great Guests - We had another great group of guests this week, helping us to keep the ball moving:
- John McConnell - Financial Psychologist
- Tina Pavez - Life Coach
- Cheryl Hanson - Fortune
- Erin Whitford - Massage Therapist
- Florence Casiez - Massage Therapist
Bigger & Better - Today was Brian Geffen's first meeting as an official member. Brian is a printer and owner of Duds By Dudes. Not only does he do business cards, which we all need, but he also does a variety of promotional products.
Also, today we voted in John McConnell, our new psychologist, we are all looking forward to greater mental health.

Matin, our financial planner, was our first speaker today. He got into his industry from his deep desire to help people be financially secure. One element on the path to financial security is having a well diversified portfolio. This is one area where Matin's company, Western Financial Advisors has a large advantage over other firms, having a variety of portfolio options, some that even include land investing.
Matin also is working to raise funds to combat Lou Gehrig's disease with a comedy show next Thursday at the Comedy store. Contact Matin for details.
Building on a good foundation
Derek grew up in construction, sweeping up construction sites with his grandfather at the tender age of three. This experience raised him with the skills to do quality work, and the understanding of the resulting consequences if you cut corners. Derek encouraged us to not only improve our houses, but to take care of the small problems you notice quickly and professionally before they become large, costly and painful predicaments.
