Successful Thinkers {Event}

I was invited to come to a meeting with a group of small business owners called "Successful Thinkers."

It's a FREE networking group in Stockton on Wednesdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Posted are some iPhone photos from last weeks meeting and quotes taken by fellow member Sandie Gilbert, a Mary Kay consultant.

HERE is the link to the Facebook page.

Notes from Sandie Gilbert:

The main idea of the group is "focus on people"

Other member ideas about being successful:

Phyllis -- Persistence and diligence.

Bev -- Stay the course.

Robert -- Don't be afraid to approach potential clients in new ways. Don't take NO from someone who can't say yes.

Danny -- Follow up.

Karen -- Love what you do.

Wayne (from the Elk Grove group) -- Don't let fear stop you and do the hard stuff first.

Quotes from the motivational guest speaker Danny:

"In challenging times - go through it and grow through it."

"When you think the grass is greener on the other side, remember someone tended and cared for it first, so put in the effort for your own grass."

"If you think it's time to quit then it's time to change your mind."

"Don't limit yourself to a box only limits on us are our own so don't limit yourself to the inside of a box."

Now for the iPhone photos (not the best quality).

Another shot during the introduction.

Here is the guest speaker Danny Reynolds.

During his time at the podium Danny talked about his brother's book "You Can There From Here," by Bob Knowling.

After the speaker Kate came up to give some announcements.

The final part of the meeting is set-up for the small business owners to mingle together and set-up one-on-one time to get to know each other. Phyllis below brought out her phone which she uses as a calender to help set-up the one-on-one meetings.
