This Group is the most UNIQUE Business Networking Meetup in Southern California because it actually COMPLIMENTS (and doesn’t compete with) all the other Business Networking Meetups.   WHY WE STARTED THIS GROUP: All the other business-oriented Meetups are excellent at what they do…provide a “platform” as well as a scheduled date, time, and place for people to network.  However, WITHOUT the right tools, tactics, techniques, & strategies (on Business Networking/Word-of-Mouth Marketing)…most people …

The most influential person in my life has been Joyce Meyer. If you know who she is you may know something of her testimony. She was raped by her father for 15 years while her mother knew about it and did nothing. She tells the story of a woman who had a broken spirit, twisted personality and emotional instability. Yet today stands before us a woman who is bursting with the fruits of the spirit. I knew that there is NO WAY that a person who comes from that kind of background could achieve someth …

You create your reality via your perceptions of your environment. It's like the Law of Attraction from a scientific perspective. This is a gathe …

I created this group, because I wanted to create a new, fun, and exciting way to get in phenomenal shape in a way that's never been done. Many years ago, I authored the weight loss programs and educational courses for the fitness equipment company behind the show, "The Biggest Loser." The programs were so incredibly effective that I wanted to find a better way to share it to the world. That's when I had an idea... Create a group exercise class for adults in a gymnastics center! That's right! …
