Did You Know:
 From: Lee Schearer,
To: My Fellow Chapel Hill Leads Group Members
"A Business Tip For You!"
At the Chapel Hill Leads Group regular meeting last week we allowed additional time for each attending member to, not only remind us of their respective business venture, but also offer up a tip that impacted them, not only personally, but one that may be of benefit to each of us. It was a fun event and one that epitomizes the very nature of this Leads Group.
While it is about doing business with each other and our respective client base it is also about helping each other in building their business base. It is a place where you can benefit from the collective knowledge and wisdom from those of us who have been in self-employment for many years. Since most of us are sole-proprietors the Leads Group serves as the place to go in order to tell your story and learn from each other. It is a community event of small business owners.
If you haven't been to the Chapel Hill Leads Group lately, I personally invite you to come back and reacquaint yourself with the group and our newer members. We have made several changes to the meeting, now being an one-hour business meeting from 8:30 to 9:30AM. For more information about our meeting I invite you to see our web-site at www.chapelhillleads.com
Remember, one of our new members may be the one who could be your biggest future client. One thing is for sure, by not attending, you will be depriving yourself of that opportunity. As Dick O'Donnell reminds us, "an empty chair gets no business".
I hope to see you this Wednesday morning, I will reserve a spot just for you.
Respectfully,
Lee Schearer

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.
