Recently I had the opportunity to speak with Jeff Williams of Bizstarters who specializes in assisting individuals interested in starting a business over the age of 50. In this episode of Jeff’s podcast “Running a Great Business After 50” we spoke about using face-to-face networking to expand your sphere of influence and grow your business. We touched on the challenges small business face managing resources and using social media to stay top of mind as well as the importance of understanding the overall marketing objective when making a good promotional business video.

Chicago Business Card to Business Networking Meetup | October 2014 Meeting |
Take a look at the video highlights of the October Chicago Business Card to Business Meetup. Since it was so close to Halloween we decided it would be fun to share business horror stories. We have all had things happen to us in business that were scary, mortifying or downright horrific. What a great topic. It was a perfect topic for a few good laughs and chance to unload some bad memories. Too bad you missed some of the really good stuff. But be sure to RSVP and join up if you are in Chicago or passing through anytime during the last Tuesday of any month. This it the perfect event for meeting other entrepreneurs, sharing ideas, learning from each other and growing your business. We meet at the Roots Room just off the corner of Foster and Kimball on the north side of Chicago. Easy access by Brownline elevated, Kimball & Foster Bus and plenty of free street parking.
The networking group is organized by Reno Lovison. Author of “Turn Your Business Card Into Business” and online web video producer.
