Hello Adrienne
Thank you for your message.
For your information I am a Canadian, married to a Swiss and have
been living here for 18 years.
There are a couple of people who definitely definitely answer your
questions who could help you set up your on.line business.
I spoke with the group this morning about starting another meeting
just like the one we have on Tuesday morning. The consensus was
that we stay with the one we have as we are currently busy
establishing the association and we like to take things one step at
a time. It was suggested that we can start the meeting at 7 am for
those who might be interested. I would need some feed back on
this.
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me
(
www.focusfitness.ch) or anyone else in our Tuesday morning group.
Best regards
John Styffe

Hi John,
I appreciate your note and all your updates. I have been
really interested in coming to the Tuesday morning coffee but
unfortunately I have to be at work. I work on Bahnhofstrasse
so I?m actually quite close. I?m also very interested in
starting an online business but have no idea how, especially I
know there would be many legal procedures to complete, on top
of details of my own business. What are the business areas of
the participating entrepreneurs in the group? Does everyone
already have his business set up here in Switzerland?
I?m a Canadian currently living in Zurich as we just moved
from Paris, France 10 months ago.
For now I can only count on email communications until I can
attend one of your meet-ups. Thanks so much for running this
group. There are people like me who hasn?t been able to attend
but very much appreciate a group of passionate people like
that.
Thanks kindly, keep in touch
Adrienne Breeze

Subject: [entrepreneur-200] Tuesday Morning Meetup
Hello
In response to a queastion about our annoucment about the
formation of an entreprenuers association I have written the
following
I guess I had better fill you in so that you can better
understand.
A number of us have been meeting every Tuesday morning for
about a year now. We as a group are a part of the
Entrepreneurs meet-up group and plan to remain that way.
I was selfish when I started this group. I was looking for a
group of people that I could meet with regularly who had
experienced the same trials and tribulations of being an
entrepreneur. Being an entrepreneur can be a lonely journey at
times. The evening drinks/dinners/networking events and the
internet groups could not offer what I needed most which is
human contact in a supportive and encouraging atmosphere.
Our meetings are informal with a very simple format. Short
introductions in the beginning followed by individual
discussions. Sometimes our introductions are followed by
discussions of topics of interest at the time.
In addition, we are hoping that this association will provide
some of the services that the chambers of commerce provide but
at an affordable cost of around 25 francs per year. Many
entrepreneurs starting out can not afford the steep fees that
are often asked for.
As indicated by the name, we are planning that it will be
international. Where there can be chapters in other cities
around the world. So in regard to your offer to us being a sub
group of your group, it could be the other way around.
We have some very dedicated and committed members. They need
to be, to be coming to the meeting at 8 am in the morning. We
actually have had members come from outside of the Zurich area
so you can imagine what time they are up in the morning and
the commitment. This is what being an entrepreneur is all
about. It can be tough, hard and even discouraging at times.
Meeting with others who experience the same is what is needed.
It has been an honor to be a part of this group and I have
developed some very good relationships as a result.
These are tough times and many people sometimes have no other
alternative but to start up something on their own. These are
tough times for entrepreneurs and we need to support ourselves
in our entrepreneurial journeys.
You are welcome to come along to a meeting any time
John
