excellent presenation. Introduced me to the quirks of the outsourcing experience and reset my expectations.

I really enjoyed the session. It was quite an eye opener to hear what outsourcing can look like and especially the challenges you may face when dealing with different cultures. For my own purpose I have always thought in terms of individuals who would perform work for me from abroad, never as an organized office like Stephen has set up. The solutions for dealing with remote training and communication (documentation and online tools) I thought were very insightful as well. Thank you for sharing this wealth of information :)
Bart Zych

Very informative presentation. It would have been nice to have a longer q&a session afterwards - I think that can be achieved in the future by starting the meetings closer to 7pm, as scheduled.
Michelle Castillo

Vancouver's Business, Marketing, Social Media & Career and Social Networking Group - Internet Marketing Masterminds Group

For over two years Internet Masterminds Group social networking meetup happen every Monday night at 7pm to network and discuss Internet marketing related and social media topics. We’re now the largest Internet marketing social networking group in the city and the most active Meetup in Vancouver. We charge $5 at the door and use those funds to help enhance the quality of the social networking meetup. Since we implemented the fee we’re getting higher turn-outs then ever before (which may or may not relate to the $5 fee). So far we’ve used the funds to buy more chairs, throw a free BBQ for our members, get a logo for the group designed and we have a few more ideas in the works ;)

Internet Masterminds is a non-profit social networking group. We've even had some people think Internet Masterminds was a "business" but it's more like an offline social network. At Internet Masterminds Group we invite entrepreneurs and companies to share 60 minutes about a specific topic related to Internet Marketing they are passionate about. These speakers are not paid, but they understand the value of giving back to the social community and sharing their lessons learned.

Here is why you should join Internet Masterminds Group:

1) Friends, I believe many of the Internet Mastermind members would say they have made good friends from networking at the meetups. Many of us hang out outside of the group and outside the business/marketing world.

2) Referrals, most often you'll find it's not the people in the group who want to buy your products and services but it's the people they know that may want to. At every Meetup you will have an opportunity to network with other members and entrepreneurs and possibly find ways to promote each others business.

Internet Masterminds Group meets Monday nights at 7pm at 1633 West 2nd. Meetups are $5 and donations are reinvested back into the group. You don’t have to be an Internet marketing expert to attend, we are friendly social networking group.

The Internet Masterminds Group is a social network of entrepreneurs, business owners and career driven students who are committed to inspired business practices that are redefining the old business model. Entrepreneurs are individuals and organizations who recognize the impact of business and use entrepreneurial principles to organize, create, market, and manage a entrepreneur venture to impact the community. Business leader assesses success in terms of the impact on society as well as in profit and return. Entrepreneurs and organizations use business models that combine a revenue-generating business are direct towards impacting the community for good.

Internet Marketing Masterminds Group meets every Monday night at 7pm to discuss Internet marketing and social media related topics.
