You know I’m a fan of online social networking, but I am also a HUGE fan of the good-old-fashioned in-person real-life shaking-hands type of networking.
Before Twitter or Facebook or any of the ‘new media” sites, I built my business (and several previous employers’ businesses) by getting out there and meeting people face-to-face. Networking is one of the lowest-cost, highest-impact and most-sustainable marketing efforts you can do on a consistent basis. Are you doing enough real-life networking? Or are you hiding behind your computer, waiting for business to come to you? I encourage you to get out there - and I have just the place in mind.
If you are a small business owner and live in or around Orange County, California, I want you to come out and meet me this Thursday, October 2nd from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m.! Not only will you get an opportunity to mingle with other new and accomplished entrepreneurs from the Orange County Entrepreneur’s Center, but I’ll be sharing with you the 7 steps you need to take to create affordable, effective marketing programs for your small business. The event is FREE if you are an Orange County Entrepreneur’s Center Member, and only $20 if you’re not.

Yes, I know it’s Thursday night, which means it’s must-see-TV on NBC, but you have Tivo or Cox’s DVR service, don’t you?
