How the Event Flows:
Only people with the naming convention below will be let in from the waiting room:

After everyone is in the room, depending on group size the event will flow as follows:

less than 10 people (remember others from other groups will be joining too so it could be a big group):
- Introductions
- Brief hi and what you're business is about
- What you're looking for in a bestie
- Goal for your business this year

I'll set-up 2 break-out rooms and people can go to those rooms if they would like to get to know others more and start with this ice breaker question:
- Goal for your business next year

10-40 people
I will open rooms for each of the bestie types and people will sort into the rooms and answer these questions:
- Brief hi and what you're business is about
- What you're looking for in a bestie
- Goal for your business this year

I'll also open 4 mixer rooms with different ice breaker questions in the title people can go to to mingle if desired until our hour is up.

If you are interested in talking to someone more, send them a private message on zoom with your contact information and if they are interested, they will contact you, No sales, no being pushy.

Over 40 people - same as above except more rooms for bestie type and broken down by communication preference
