The primary purpose for the group is to provide a platform to network, assess and IMPROVE the businesses' of local peer entrepreneurs. Imagine having 30 people fire you suggestions about improving your business all at once. Its all possible with our new collaborating suggestion software. Many meetings will start with an "industry professional" for specific guidance and insights and then transition into our peer to peer reviews via our "team intranet".
There are so many business out there that can benefit from an HONEST peer-to-peer assessment and brainstorming session. Like a Roundtable, a focus group or Mastermind group, ideas will feed on other ideas and we will reach levels often not reachable alone.
However, it won't require hours and hours of time in discussions as one person brings up a point at a time. Its going to be brainstorming on steroids, with special web based collaboration tools displayed on screen or overhead that immediately reflect "ideas and suggestions" real time in a visual diagram and focused topic threads. If 50 ideas were "discussed" it would take 3 hours, but this new method will take 30 minutes. Just imagine watching 20 suggestions just happen instantaneously on a "Visio" diagram for that business in focus. In the end, the business owner will get to take home something tangible, without having to take a lick of notes. Not only that, users or "suggesters" can identify themselves or remain anonymous which often leads to more honest answers. :0 Should turn out to be pretty interesting to say the least.
The format of the meetings will likely be a speaker for the first hour and a peer review for the second. So, if you want to propel your business and website to the next level, in a clear and honest way, then this is for you.
There are requirements for this meetup:
1) You must have 5 yrs. experience owning or operating a small business or similar entrepreneurship.
2) You must have a laptop you can bring to the meeting
3) Must be resourceful and creative
4) Must have an existing website/blog and have internet business or marketing experience, as the group will center their "improvements" on the core ideas and philosophies found on the companies' website.
5) Must be willing to help others
Also, as an important upfront contract, please note this will not be a place to primarily pitch your product. Anyone selling a "me too" product will likely not ever get reviewed. These are for people who have sweat equity in a real businesses and unique business concepts that need refinement. Not some hot nutritional product or person looking for other dealers. They have merit, but not in this forum. Thank you, I look forward to a successful brainstorming/masterminding session with all of you.
