A2PN is your professional 'Health Club', where you work "ON" your business, not just "IN" your business.
Much like your personal Health Club, you cannot simply join and expect to see results. You must go, sweat a little, get out of your comfort zone, and actually use different equipment to get positive results.
A2PN works the same way. You need to make a commitment, come to our MeetUps, engage with other members (online and in-person), get out of your comfort zone, develop networking skills, and build trust to gain the results you desire from networking.
Our focus is on Personal Development, Strategic Networking, and Building Trust which leads to genuine professional relationships and an unlimited supply of business referrals.
We are also very strong proponents of the 'Givers Gain' Philosophy. We are active Sponsors of Children International, as well as other local community programs.
Our 2010 Plan is aggressive, and our approach is simple: We're here to help YOU reach YOUR goals through these three components.
We have Business Meetings the First Friday of the Month, where we discuss important topics of interest to all members.
We periodically have Social MeetUps, which is an opportunity to mix, mingle and get to know each other in a social setting.
We've launched a Success Team, a group within the group using the Mastermind concept to help members get different perspectives on their individual challenges.
We're also launching a series of 'Connect Over Coffee' MeetUps, which will bring smaller groups of folks who otherwise would have never met each other in a welcoming, informative, and less agenda driven setting.
We also encourage members to be proactive with each other to set up one-on-one MeetUps to learn about each others' goals and businesses.
We're also very active online on the Various professional and individual Social Networking sites: There is an Ann Arbor Power Network Group on LinkedIN. The Ann Arbor Power Network is also a Group on Facebook, and we have yet another site at http://annarborpowernetwork.com
We're approaching 200 members across our four websites. Using Joe Girards networking rule of 250, if all members of A2PN become fully engaged, you are one introduction away from 50,000 people. THAT'S Power Networking my friends!
Please join us at our next MeetUp to learn how networking done right can help your business grow!
Our Monthly meetings are held at:
Real Estate One
555 Briarwood Circle #333 (Off State Street, just behind Bennigan's)

Our Monthly 'First Friday' MeetUps are an opportunity to welcome new members, welcome home other members who have not seen us in awhile, and make some GREAT new connections.
We typically have a discussion topic of interest to all entrepreneurs, others looking to network, and still others who are looking for new connections and opportunities through the power of networking. Read more
