This Week's Meeting
 Scottie Gardner, Colonial Insurance Agency
Do you feel ignored by your current insurance agent?
Statistics say 68% of insurance clients look for a new agent because they feel ignored by their current agent. Ironically, in our price driven world today, only 12% leave because of price. What if you could have both? Meaning, an agent who doesn't ignore you and provides competitive pricing for your insurance needs. Let me help
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:
 From: Lee Schearer,
To: My Fellow Chapel Hill Leads Group Members
"Worrying in business"
As entrepreneurs and business owners most of us worry at some time or another. It is predictable! Given the current times, we are told that we, as a nation, have not experienced steady growth for several years now and some folks believe that we are not ready to rebound any time soon, regardless of who wins the election. That being said, I would like to offer you some advice based primarily on the fact that I have over 48 year's experience as a sole-proprietor and have withstood several economic downturns. My advice can be simplified into repeating the 27 words as authored by Dr. Reinhold Niebuhr (qtd. in Carnegie, Dale, "How to Stop Worrying and Start Living", copyright 1948/1952, p288)
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"
I invite you to join me this Wednesday morning and to get acquainted with the collective business experience that our members have to offer and to experience for yourself why The Chapel Hill Leads Group is the premier business referral group in the Triangle Region, 18 years and going strong.
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.
