I get a lot of messages from people who want to connect for different reasons—partnerships, potential investment, help building a leveraged business model, or job opportunities.

Don't believe the sad, sad numbers on meet-up. Since the official registration is at www.karenbaring.com, events, many people bypass meet-up completely. Our meetings bring together 30 - 50 women entrepreneurs each and every month. Weigh what you have to lose with with you have to gain! We hope you can join us, Karen and the BusiWomen Team https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/b/8/c/7/600_465407303.jpeg
