The conversation may not lead anywhere right away -- or ever -- but no harm will come from it and I always come away with a little more knowledge. So, I would say -- drop in on the next one and enjoy the dialogue. ”

“ small but talkative ”
—A former member on Jan 6, 2005.
“ Personally I think every event could have an educational topic. All right. Maybe I'm too big on this, while not too big on social chitchat. One week there is a speaker, and the other week there could be an interactive workshop on something very specific. For instance, Brenda could hold a workshop on office organisation. Or I can do a gig on client acquisition on autopilot. Whoever feels like offering a topic. We all can give her testimonials for her good programme, and we all learn something new. If she records the gig, it could be great promo for her on her website. Even an information product she could sell globally, giving her some passive income. ”
