    Imagine that you can buy a flying car in 2011, imagine that you could see another 3 Billion People here online by 2015, how will you greet them, will you be able to serve or help them? How will this impact your online business? I'll share some ideas on The Open & Free Business Model - The Future of Business. The book is in the works as well....see you there!

    As I said in the greeting: "Yes, greetings, Mr. Greaves. I will be wearing my virtual goggles as you shine the light into business future of the world. Only question is, can the crowd handle it? They will be blinded!"

    The Future is not a matter of skill set, it's a new way of thinking, a paradigm shift, and that shift is painful for many. Will you be able to make the shift, can you, or will you try to do things under the old control model?

    One of the biggest challenges business owners have today is, how to adopt future trends that will impact their business. That's why I speak and hold workshops, seeing what's coming and knowing what to do next is confusing for most, come find out how the Open & Free Business Model might be a solution for your business.

    I agree with Karilee. It was a great evening. Lots to think about - thanks to both Owens for a job well done! It was great meeting everyone tonight & look forward to connecting again.

    I think Owen did a super job. The future can be a scary thing for business, but with a little insight and a heaping helping of hope, we can make it a positive experience. Meeting new people tonight was particularly gratifying.

    Forewarned is forearmed. No one can predict the future, but with Owen watching the trends and sharing his insights, you have a better chance of staying ahead of the curve (or at least not being run over by it).

  • Lisa Bunnage
    Always learn something at Owen's meet-ups, gets great speakers. Thanks Owen.
  • Ronda Payne
    Couldn't be better to have someone like Owen looking out to the future for us! Owen - you're a wonderful, insightful speaker!
  • Laurie Kingdon
    As entrepreneurs, we're often too busy to see beyond our daytimer. This lecture forces us to look at the bigger picture and beyond... + ideas expand accordingly. Thanks Owen!
  • Harmony
    Thanks OWENS for a good meeting last night. I have given the nano technology some thought: Imagine nano's that make you more sexy, more thin, more muscular, smarter, help you lie without change in circulation, think like a genius, the DONALD T nano, or GHANDI nano...the markets have seen nothing yet! :-)
  • Maureen
    Content was excellent, people very friendly. Space was a little small making it difficult to hear people, but overall it was excellent and I look forward to the next meetup!
  • Rick Rake
    Hey Owen, you aced it. Yes, we have to unthink all that we have learned about business, and we have to be ready for the three billion more internet users who will bowl us over if we don't plan for the future. Enjoyed the ride in and back with Danielle ... and a stop at my virtual office tonight at Finnegan's.
