We’ve had some changes and added new value – and can’t wait to share the down and dirty with you. So here goes…

Got Pinterest? Dawn speaks regularly about using social media to grow your biz and increase sales and the hottest topic lately she’s found is Pinterest. Have you seen it, heard about it, wonder how it can be used to support your business? Dawn is going to talk about the basics of Pinterest and share some great tips for how you can use it as a marketing and relationship building tool for your biz.

BTW… If you don’t have a Pinterest account and are interested in adding it to your marketing toolbox, we suggest that you create an account and take a look at it before the March 14 meeting. Pinterest requires that you apply or be invited to become a member – luckily we know a member – DAWN! – and she’ll be happy to extend you an invitation so you can immediately sign up. Just email her at dawn@getcaptivatingcopy.com and let her know you’re ready to join in the Pinterest conversation.

Hotseats, baby! You’ve heard of flash mobs and cash mobs – now it’s time for a WEGs hotseat mob. Everyone who pre-purchases a ticket for the meeting ahead of time gets their name in the fishbowl to participate in our value-packed hotseat sessions. We’ll do as many as we can – Star, Dawn and the WEGS community will all pitch in to help you address obstacles, find solutions and achieve breakthroughs – the benefit of having a community supporting your dreams.

So be sure to save the date for Wednesday, March 14, from 9:30 to noon to join us. And don’t forget – you can pre-purchase your tickets for the meeting online at this link: http://bit.ly/yLO4Py and be a part of the hotseat fun.

Guest speaker update: Our guest speaker Jeanne Malnati phoned us recently and sent her regrets that she will not be able to fly out from Chicago in time to speak at our meeting. She was bummed, as she really looked forward to meeting you all (we talked you up real good) and we are going to do our best to reschedule her for a future meeting in 2012.

You know, we have to say that since our last meeting, we’ve received so much great feedback from you all and we’re really grateful for it. Keep it coming, we love to hear your thoughts and ideas for how we can continue to Connect, Learn and Grow together.

Now for our next meeting: If you have a business with employees or work with teams of any kind for what you do, we know you’ll love our guest for March. Be sure to save the date – March 14 – where we are excited to announce that we will be hosting Jeanne Malnati (www.jeannemalnati.com) as our featured speaker. Jeanne helps businesses realize dramatic improvement by building powerful workplace teams with heart. She loves seeing workplace cultures transformed into vibrant, respectful and fun environments where people love coming to work, all the while understanding and implementing what is required to rise above the crowd.

So mark your calendars and save the date of Wednesday, March 14 from 9:30 to noon to join us, and while you’re at it, here are the dates for the rest of the year as well.

If you are a woman business owner and/or you target female entrepreneurs, this is a “Must-See” Speaker. Straight outta Chicago and flying to the West Coast just for us (ok, and maybe our fabulous weather as well) – is Michele DeKinder-Smith, founder of Jane out of the Box (www.janeoutofthebox.com). She’s heard how great you all are – plus she heard about our rocking holiday party – and she can’t wait to meet you all.

Michele is one of the foremost research experts on understanding female entrepreneurs to date. She has written two books and is the go-to expert media seek out about this subject. Her books, “See Jane Succeed,” and “See Jane Collaborate,” take a revolutionary look at the 5 kinds of female entrepreneurs and what it takes to win in business and in life.

If you want to know which of the 5 kinds of “Jane’s” you are, go to this link and take Michele’s free assessment before the meeting. http://janeoutofthebox.com/assessment/. Michele is traveling light to be with us and will only have a few copies of her book – so if you’d like to make sure you have one on hand, you can order them through her website.
