Welcome to Sharon Hill’s world… a world where everyone follows the basic rules of grace and manners, better known as ETIQUETTE. Sharon represents Geeks on Call of the Triangle at the Chapel Hill Leads Group. For our next meeting, she will be administering an etiquette quiz to help you measure your Etiquette IQ. Come prepared to share your stories of dealing with unprofessional business people.

If you missed last Wednesday's meeting ...
 Open Networking Meeting
Last Wednesday, 20 February was an Open Networking Meeting at the Chapel Hill Leads Group. New business relationships were forged. Introductions with first time CHLG attendees were created. Member business networks were grown by reconnecting with existing CHLG members. Make an effort to get to know them and how you can help their business grow.
... You were indeed missed.
More importantly, Bring plenty of Business Cards and be ready to network!

Did You Know:
 From: Lee Schearer,
To: My Fellow Chapel Hill Leads Group Members
"ANT's"
NO, not the insect variety! While reading the Daily Guidepost I came across an entry that caught my attention as it reminds me of some people in this world. The term ANT's stands for, what psychologists call an "automatic negative thought". It is a condition that affects many people without them even realizing it, since they have thought them for so long. I can believe this to be true, especially since the past several years has been very difficult for so many people.
That being said, there is hope for those who are effected with ANT's. One method is to write down your biggest fear for the day and then work diligently to not allow that fear become a reality. One way to do so is to attend the Chapel Hill Leads Group. Become acquainted with other business owners and have a one-on-one meeting each week with a different member. You will soon realize that you are not alone in your quest to become successful. Our members are friendly, welcoming and willing to help one another. It is truly a business meeting like no other.
I invite you to join me this Wednesday morning and to see for yourself why the Chapel Hill Leads Group is the oldest and the premier business referral group in the region. Don't forget to bring a smile on your face, a song on your mind and an attitude of gratitude for the life and the opportunities that you have, both this region and in our great country, America.
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.
