What we’re about
2025! The Network Society is Here...!
Los Angeles' Citizens, Creatives, Artists & Entrepreneurs do SO much better when they can synergize and work together & have lots of fun in the process.
Most of us are too busy to network enough. Most of us don't feel we have time to get the kind of training we need. Most of us need ad hoc support from other entrepreneurs in order to make big leaps forward. This group helps solve all these issues for Entrepreneurs on the West Side.
Note - Registration Requirement: To Validly Reister, a Profile Photo MUST be visible!. This is a Requirement.
Roadmap: We will meet at least once every two month to enjoy art, cultural events, dance and, from time to time, discuss topics like:
- How to Maximize Enjoyment of all that Los Angeles has to offer (art, music, entertainment & culture).
- How to leverage business connections and our networks
- How to leverage emerging trends in AI and Robotics
- How to start a successful business quickly
- How to sell and deliver products and services effectively online
- How to create a website that closes customers
- How to generate leads quickly and cost effectively
- How to use sites like Freelance.com and Elance.com to build effective production teams fast
- Sales tips, tricks and traps
- Lead generation & cold calls
- Closing sales face to face
- How to network in Los Angeles (and outside of L.A.) much more effectively
- Effective social media marketing
- Effective viral media marketing
- How to fulfill orders and ship products quickly worldwide
- Neuro Linguistic Programming techniques for more effective marketing and communication, while leveraging new distribution strategies on the Internet
- Using social media and new media trends (TikTok, Threads, Instagram, etc.) to reach new markets
- Ethical business practices
- Starting a social enterprise
- How to fund/finance a business
- Where to find investors and lenders
These are just a few of the topics we'll address. You will leave each event with new friends and, quite possibly, new tools and new solutions.
This is an enlightened Los Angeles networking & entrepreneur network whose members understand that most of the time, most people find what they look for, get what they ask for, and benefit most when they find a way to be of service to others. Good business creates great wealth not just for entrepreneurs but for the communities they serve.
