Are you making the right connections?

We want to make it as easy as possible for you to connect with the right people here at Motor City Connect. We offer numerous ways to do so including online, face to face networking meetings, trainings and community development projects. Are you taking part in them? If not now, when? I assume you are like many of the people with whom I consult and are open to new opportunities (either for new business or a new job).

Are you clearly communicating who you are looking to meet to your network?

In addition to the ASK discussion board, we also have the "personal objective" on your profile page and sub groups for you to use. I highly encourage you to join the appropriate sub group and tell them how they can help you. You will also want to post that message on the main board too. Here's an idea, post it a couple of times in different locations. But when you do, wait a day between posts so more people will see it.

Love the support for Linda Anger (first event is planned)-

It's been really touching to see how many people have stepped up to support Linda Anger. Click HERE to read up on the posts of support and that detail her condition.

Even better would be if you were to click HERE (please do us a favor and share this link with those who may support this great cause) and sign up to come to the first of her fundraisers. It's in Rochester next Wednesday from 6-10 at Fuse. Thanks to Paul Funk, Natalie Brundred and the many, many folks who are making this happen.

Want to make better use of Credit for your business?

Earl Carruthers of Graceful Financial will be the guest speaker in Commerce this week. He will be talking about how to get and use business credit. It's a great talk that all small business owners (and those aspiring to be one) will benefit from.

Please RSVP HERE. The cost of this meeting will be $5.00 (your bill at Big Boy will be paid by you separately...part of the newness happening at MCC).

We have a lot more Celebrating of Michigan to do!

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, 9/29/09. Michigan Mall presents Celebrate Michigan from 12-5. There are still opportunities to get a booth and MCC members get a special discount.

On Tuesday, August 25 we will be doing the Twitter for business training. This is a great class that will teach you how to use the fastest movingsocial media property to grow your business. RSVP and learn more HERE.

In an effort to do my best piece of magic ever, I will potentially be in two places at once. The Learn the basics of networking training overlaps the twitter training. Should be fun. Make your choice soon so I know where I need to be. Details on this class are HERE.

MCC Live

We will not be having an MCC Live in Troy next week. The plan was to make that a happy hour, but we would rather see you support Linda's event.

Tuesday, August 25th, MCC Live Royal Oak at BD's Mongollian 11:15-12:30

As always, do let us know what we can do for you.

Be Connected-
