"A funny thing happened at Redmond Business Meet-Up today"

I went to the Redmond Business Meet-up for the first time a few weeks ago. I funny thing happened.

As we went around the room introducing ourselves and handing out cards Cherie Seymore's message was a little different.  It came with a song....a beautiful, soul-full song!  You can listen to it here.  Cherie and Tolga were promoting their "custom marketing CD company".  http://www.imaginecds.com/  Wow!  They got my attention!

Stacia Loo is the founder and kicks off each meeting.  She always talks about the -"Go-Giver" book and how it's helped her succeed in life and her business http://www.everyswipecounts.com/.  The Go-Giver book can be purchased from Amazon here.

I promised Len McAdams I'd post his new website - http://www.mcadamsbuilders.com/.  Len has been remodeling homes for years.  He partially remodeled my house about 25 years ago;  I still remembered his thoroughness and professionalism after all this time! 425-822-6555.

Other folks I met with whom I may do business are:  Elizabeth Hansford of Zephyr 47 in Redmond.  http://www.zephyr47.com/.  Elizabeth may help me design features into my new blog platform.  Jonathan Yockey of Mendatech Web Design Design@Mendatech.com in Everet.  He may build my new blog platform.

Joe Townsend is special for me because he volunteers some of his time for the Redmond Historical Society.  Joe has a Photo Restoration & Retouch business.  http://www.jjtownsend.com/.  It's amazing what he can do with a tattered and faded family photo.  206-890-3804.

Of the four personal coaches presenting probably use Sandy Bjorgen, M.A. Trainer/Coach.  She coaches people how to think and speak under pressure.  http://www.improv-ableresults.com/  Her tagline is "Better Business Communications with IMPROVisation.".  That's what I need! 

Some other nice folks I met are Ken Foster of Terleon Custom Painting  http://www.borntopaint.com/  and John Crispala, a low pressure, good linstening financial planner. 206-601-7319.  I heard lots of other nice folks but I can't name them all!   The Meet-Up is growing fast.  Currently, they meet at Panera Bread, Monday's at 10AM in Redmond's Bear Creek Shopping Center.  Redmond Business Meet-up is on Facebook.
