It's been said that "you never get a second chance to make a first impression". So is your first impression a business card that cost you $10 for 100? What value impression are you wanting to convey? If the impression is a lowest price offering , then $10 cards may work for you. But if you offer a product or service of value, then your cards should present that value. After all it's usually your main advertising media. 

Derryl Kostynuik, will show you and explain the difference between a business card that presents value and one that doesn't. He will also bring along numerous printed examples that will help you turn your printed materials can make you money instead of costing you money.

Ever wonder what to do next or how to solve a problem in your business?
That's what our Mastermind Discussion is about this week. The concept of the Mastermind Group was formally introduced by Napoleon Hill in the early 1900's. In his timeless classic, "Think And Grow Rich" he wrote about the Mastermind principle as: "The coordination of knowledge and effort of two or more people, who work toward a definite purpose, in the spirit of harmony."

Join us for an open discussion on a few topics that may affect your business and how others have worked them out.

Why is my chair uncomfortable after 15 minutes?
 
We’ve all had that unfortunate experience of making a purchase of some kind only to have it fail and result in a regretful, costly and disappointing waste of time. Nobody likes dealing with the remorse of a negative buying experience. Nobody.
 
Larry Eldreth of Sit-Happens by Design will show us what makes a comfortable chair, what to look for when purchasing a chair and the difference between mass produced chairs and custom hand-made chairs.
