• "If you want to spend 1/3rd to 1/2 off a new computer right off the assembly line, call me at DNK" ~ David Kohn of DNK Computer Solutions

• "My business is transparent to your customers and prospects, but gets your word out in a personal and unique way" ~ Daphne Lee of Client Link

• "We keep hearing that now is a great time to buy, and it is, but doesn't that mean it's not a good time to sell your home? The answer is if you take, say, a $15k loss on the sale of your home but pass on a $30k loss to the person you BUY from then you really come out ahead." ~ Ken Stampe of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage in Plano, TX

Deidra Graves, attorney with Graves Hawkins LLP, provided the 10 minute business presentation at the April 22nd, 2008 Network Plano Meeting. Deidra is a business attorney in Plano, TX and helps clients grow their business in a compliance and strategic manner. Her presentation was titled "Top Ten Most Common Mistakes Business Owners Make" and you can read the full summary by clicking here

Overheard During the "I HAVE" portion of the meeting:

• "I told him I thought you should stay where you are with your financial investments, and he was surprised. That's the benefit of the people in this group is that people will help you with honest and objective advice and not just try to take your business if it's not what is best for you." Susan Rouke, Financial Advisor with HFG Financial about the Network Plano group.
• "Mickey Vargas ran an analysis of our cartridge use, cost and replacement versus refilling with Cartridge World and his analysis was to the penny. The savings are very real." Deidra Graves, attorney with Graves Hawkins about Mickey Vargas of Cartridge World
• "I really feel bad for our two first-time visitors that they didn't get to meet Cindy Korenman today as she was absent.", commented sarcastically by John Bottone of Knockout Specialties. "But we will end on time!", quipped Tom Pritchard of Stonebriar Business Advisors.

Anecdotally and unscientifically, it appears that Bob Grizzle with American Success Stories had at least 6 one-on-one meetings in the past week including those with Mel Williams, Ken Stampe, Kim Boyko, John Bottone, Susan Rouke, and Randelle Arena-Ash. There may be others who did not come forward and admit they met with Bob also. We are curious if Bob actually works or just has one-on-one meetings.

Kim Boyko, our President explained the path to membership to the new visitors. We have a 3-2-1 strategy for joining our group. A prospective member attends 3 meetings, 2 one-on-one meetings with current members, and brings 1 visitor. Our membership fee is $50 and our monthly dues are $10 which covers coffee on Tuesday mornings at the meeting.

The art of giving presents is to give something which others cannot buy for themselves.
