Weekly Recap - June 18, 2009

Can you outlast your competition?

Mikel started off our meeting a yoga-themed version of 'last man standing,' starting off with an easy tree pose and getting progressively harder till there was only one man left standing (and hopping).  Our winners, two of our guests, Derek and Bryan, went home with a set of Mikel's hand made pottery.

Our guests brought more than just yoga mojo to the meeting - we'd like to thank them for coming out at such an early hour to visit us and help all of us grow our business:

• Palmer McCain - Protection One (Residential & Commercial Security)
• Cindy Freeland  - Employment Lawyer
• Mike Calabrese - Painting
• Scott Heberle - Carpet Cleaning
• Phillip Solomon - Electrician
• Damion Jackson - Videographer
• Derek Patterson - Business Consultant
• Bryan Buljat Business Coach / Tax Consultant

Did you know your skin is the largest organ in your body?

That's why you should be 'Mindful' with your 'Skin Care'.  Karen (of Mindful Skin Care) did a fabulous job with her showboat table, showing some of the products she uses to help people improve their skin.

WIN LeTip: Now With More Human Resources!

We are excited to announce that Cindy Freeland is our newest member as our Human Resources Attorney!  She was unanimously voted in and we look forward to getting to know how her firm, Schor & Freeland, LLP helps their clients create great places to work.

Going Green

Congrats to Erin Fong, who just upgraded her badge by introducing Florence to us and growing our chapter!  Great job, Erin!

Ordinary People, Extraordinary Results

Jasmine started her talk with an inspiring video showing just what kind of potential lies in all of us.  She then went on to tell us about her involvement in various community projects.  Jasmine believes not just in protecting people thru insurance, but our families and community thru programs like child fire safety programs.  She also distributed a free home inventory kit, to make sure that if your home is ever caught in a fire, you are able to restore what was lost. 

Preventative Medicine

Allen Stovall (5 Element Institute of San Diego) is not only an accomplished acupuncturist, but he is also a teacher and a writer of acupuncture text books with followers worldwide.  He contrasted the strengths of western medicine and its focus on treating trauma with eastern medicine's focus on preventing illness.  As a partner in your health, Allen makes a point to spend the entire hour with his patient during a session, something you don't commonly encounter with other acupuncturists.  By spending time with his patients, he is able to beter understand not only the trauma their body is experiencing, but the underlying causes to prevent it in the future.

Attendance

With so many people, it can be hard to remember that we had eight people out on summer vacation, but we have not forgotten you and look forward to seeing you next week.

On the Calendar:

LeTip LeMonday @ Llewellyn's starts at 9:00 at 1121 Chalcedony St. in Pacific Beach.  This is a great place to work on your commercial, brainstorm on how to get more tips, and other ways to make your business thrive.

Bootcamp @ Balboa w/ Mike is a regular part of our calendar now - Get Fit with Mike!  His bootcamp starts @ 8:15 Tuesday mornings in the lawn area of Balboa & Prado.

For those who missed it, Mikel Bruce had a wonderful yoga by the beach session Thursday night.  Most people know Mikel as a kind and gentle person that they see each Thursday Morning at LeTip.  Actually, he is a fierce yoga instructor.  Yoga with Mikel helps you get more limber and build strength, and he makes sure you get an excellent night of sleep.  Hope to see you there next month! 

Cheers,
     Rich & Llewellyn

Quote for the week:

Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge or any occupation, no matter how frightening or difficult, a new meaning. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity but with it you can accomplish miracles.
