Tired of the same old 10 yr plan sitting on your desk for centuries? Try build your plan backward, not forward...but more on that later :)

  Family Images with Sta. Claus

  My Wife wants some Sta Claus family portraits... Instead of going to the mall and lining up with everyone else, I am considering hiring my own Sta Claus and taking the images at Olympic Village, with the view of City as a backdrop...
  Please let me know if you are interested in Family Portraits... see more My Wife wants some Sta Claus family portraits...

  Please let me know if you are interested in Family Portraits with Sta. Claus, I will set up something that is affordable for all HOBN members if there is interest.

    Craig Addy Looking forward to it. Good question Mia. I thought the "formal" part of the Monday meeting was 7:30 and that we start gathering as early as 7 am. Can you confirm Carlos?

For example I will choose Blenz coffee as a meeting venue to indirectly support one of my HOBN comrades. How important is solidarity to you? How can we support each other more often? Please discuss

I too choose Blenz over other coffee shops for meetings to support that member because I've grown to know and trust the member. I refer all my contacts to Maple Leaf Storage if they have storage needs for the same reason. I look first to services within HOBN to see if there's a fit for my contacts' various needs. However, I don't necessarily send business to HOBN members if I haven't even had a personal connection with and a conversation about their business, what makes it unique, etc. This is one of the things I prefer about HOBN over some of the other, more 'structured' business networking 'cliques' where there is pressure to refer internally, regardless of business preference. If I had a business or personal relationship with a cobbler, for example, and a different cobbler joined HOBN, I would expect not to feel obligated to bring all of my business to the HOBN cobbler simply for the fact of their membership. I would first need to be shown that their services matched or exceeded those of my prior loyalty before considering the switch. My solidarity and support for HOBN'ers comes in the form of making time to meet one on one to learn more about their business and services, with the intention of becoming comfortable referring my valued contacts to them. Good topic.

    Carlos Taylhardat Well said, Peter. You have solidarity with a member that proves him/herself to you. I agree

Not sure I understand the header text on the blog Carlos - is the grammar what you intend? Do you mean "society's" rather than "societies"? I'm also thinking "keep" should be "keeps".
