To get our morning going, we played a couple rounds of 'Name That Tune', with Mike Deibler and Rob Colosia showing their musical prowess, collecting a healthy (?) share of the candy prizes. 

Joe Dowling, from Clean Power Solar Systems, joined us today and let us know what if you know somebody that is spending more than $200 per month on electricity, he can save them money immediately, and help them go green.

Mike Calabrese (Painter) and Ryan Clardy (Payroll Specialist) received their blue velvet LeTip business card holder.  We know that the business card holders will serve you well. ;)

Take Charge of Your Website

We've all heard how easy it is to make changes and update a website if you are using Mikel's Web Flexor system.  Many of us have personal experience with this as our own web sites are hosted by Mikel. Today, we all got to see first hand exactly how easy it can be to keep your website current and fresh. A lot of people have the misconception that the bulk of the cost in having a web site is the initial development.  Actually, it is the maintenance.  Mikel's system empowers business owners to be able to manage the content on their web site, saving them the cost of paying a web designer to maintain their site.

Impressive Portfolio

Chris Wilson, of Endoxi Art took us thru a visual journey through part of his portfolio today.  It was quite impressive.  Not only was it illuminating to see the quality of Chris' work, but also the breadth and experience in some one as young as Mr. Wilson.  Check out his portfolio to the right.

Raffle

Our appreciation goes out to Cindy Freeland, Sue Crowder, and Jamelin Johnson for donating the raffle prizes this week.  Also, thanks to everybody that participated and congratulations to the winners, especially Mikel Bruce, who won the top two prizes.

Today we passed 16 tips.

Summer is a great time to take a vacation as evident as 1/3 of our group was away. We look forward to your stories when you return and hope you're having fun.

The Tao of Tipping

We always say to put the 'What' and the 'Why' for every tip. Today we had a great example:

'Why': 'Starting a business',

What: 'Needs business insurance'

Because of the great details, this single tip gained the potential to grow to 4 other LeTip members.

Imagine this: if each of us had only 1 customer each week, and we shared them with the rest of the group, all of us would have 30 customers each week.
