This Week's Meeting:
 Our Normal Meeting Protocol will be suspended for this meeting!
Due to the enthusiastic participation of everyone present, last Wednesday's CHLG meeting was a great success. This week's CHLG meeting will be to break into focus groups and begin the task of addressing the issues identified during the CHLG meeting of 10 October.
This is "Building a Business" in action. Put on your "out of the box thinking hat" and bring your "problem solving skills" to this week's CHLG meeting.
See you there.
More importantly, Bring plenty of Business Cards and be ready to network!
If you missed last Wednesday's meeting ...

Did You Know:

Keeping Your "Eye On The Prize"
My Father owned a large house boat with an upper deck that could easily seat 20. Being 45 feet long with an upper deck and 14 feet in width made the vehicle susceptible to the wind blowing it off course. As a result you were always making course corrections.
So it is with a business model. We all have events that we were not expecting and ones that usually cost us money. The art in becoming successful is to be ready for the unexpected, that is why it is crucial to have a business-plan which includes financial awareness.
We are fortunate to have successful business owners as members within the Chapel Hill Leads Group who are eager to share their business expertise with new business owners. It is also a reason why we are the longest lasting business referral group in the Triangle Region, celebrating our 20-continuous years in providing a venue for business success.
If you are looking for a business referral group that can help you in charting a business plan that will provide the tools that will result in your business success, I invite you to join me this Wednesday morning at the Chapel Hill Leads Group. The cost is minimal but the value of membership is priceless!
Respectfully,

Attention CHLG Members - The Chapel Hill Leads Group's goal is to raise 100+ boxes of cereal a month. If everyone brought one box of cereal to two meetings this month, the Chapel Hill Leads Group would easily exceed the 100 boxes of cereal goal.
