Are you looking to expand your business network in the Libertyville area? Join us for an amazing opportunity which takes place every Thursday morning!  The Business Builders Network, which meets at #TowneeSquareRestaurant in downtown #Libertyville is an incredible way to do just that: build your business network! Here are a few reasons why I love it: - Social Interaction: It's such a pleasure meeting new people and engaging in meaningful conversations. - Learning and Discovery: There's always something new to learn from the diverse group of professionals. - Shared Interests: It's great to connect with others who share similar goals and interests. - Support System: The support and encouragement from this community are invaluable. - Opportunities for Collaboration: The potential for exciting collaborations is endless. A huge shoutout to Ray Billock for not only organizing these meetings but also creating a space that truly fosters growth and opportunity for everyone involved. Additional highlights from today's event: - Free Attendance: It's free to join (just cover the cost of your breakfast). - Business Presentations: We get to hear from different businesses each week. Today's event featured Mike Scimeca and Josue Cruz from Great Lakes Credit Union. - Libertyville Farmers Market: After the meeting, I love heading over to the Farmers Market just across the street. If you're around on Thursday mornings, I highly recommend stopping by.  Come for the networking, stay for the community, and don't forget to check out the Farmers Market afterwards! Hope to see you there!

Happy Howl-o-ween 🐺 These 3 Events Need to be on Your Radar this Week in San Diego: 🎃 - Neal Bloom's Founders Hike! A coyote favorite. Don't be intimidated by the time. You'll be happy you went early as the sun comes up. It's beautiful. Plus, we all sweat a little less during cooler hours. This is a really special way to network and I'm still talking to a few folks I connected with at the last hike (and beating them at pickle ball 😉) Fri Nov 3 🎃 - San Diego Angel Conference E-Track: Competition and Competitive Advantage. This event is a great way to fine tune a very important aspect of your business. Why are you different from the pack? What makes you special? We all start ventures with this thought in mind "I can do this better" but being able to communicate it simply will help raise money and help give investors confidence that you're ready. Because you know the entire competitive landscape. Weds Nov 1 🎃 - Friend of the pack Fred Grier is co-hosting a panel this week called: Lifecycle of a Deal. I heard that every deal falls apart twice (maybe more) before it goes through and I have to imagine this will be packed with fun stories. This panel is full of experience too, from Morrison Foerster to JuneShine and many others. If you're into deals and curious how the business world and legal world intersect, this should provide some really valuable insights. Thurs Nov 2 I hope to see you out there this week. Howl yeah! __ p.s. that’s not all we have to look forward to! Get the full list of Coyote curated events in your inbox every Monday morning 🐺 thesocialcoyote.com

Ever started something new and it continually fell flat? I did just that starting Yachtie Real Estate Investors meetups in Fort Lauderdale. I Started meetup: often found myself sitting alone or with just one or two people. Self-Doubt: The questions poured in. Why am I doing this? Who am I to do this? Turning Point: Despite low turnouts, those few attendees connected deeply, making every session worthwhile, It was a lot of fun. Quality not Quantity. Growth Through Collaboration: Teamed up with amazing friends, Eric Greenstein and Bobby Sharma of Likeminded, Formerly SoFlow Real estate network. Together, we expanded, more locations, and today, Eric is taking Likeminded nationwide! I Started in Stuart last year—same challenges, same low turn out if any at times. But we are going to continually keep doing it. For the ones that have shown up and continually show up Thank you so much, we always have fun regardless, networking and investing should be fun. The intention is to build a community for genuine connections, free from pitches. Big thank you to everyone who's joined us, especially the early supporters. Your presence means everything.

I've got to spill some tea on an underrated superpower - Networking in our local gems: our neighborhoods, our schools, and our sacred church spaces. Can we just talk about the transformative vibes that genuine connectivity brings? 💫 Here are my Golden Tips to Supercharge Your Local Networking Game: 1. Hometown Talent Spotlights: Dive into local events where our young scholars, business visionaries, and everyone in between come together. Imagine a blend of a school talent show and a business pitch event. Pure magic, right? 🌟 2. Guiding Stars Program: Here’s a thought: Let's merge the ambitious energy of our students with the wisdom of our neighborhood entrepreneurs. We’re talking mentorship that feels like coming home. 🚀 3. Neighborhood Chats: Picture this – cozy gatherings every few weeks where we sit, chat, dream, and brainstorm. An open space to share, to listen, and most importantly, to grow. 🌱 Y’all, when we lean into the power of community networking, we're doing more than just talking. We’re creating a ripple effect of awesomeness! Here’s to building bridges and vibing high, together! 💖 #JessicaLaShawnNetworks #LocalLove #CommunityVibes #TogetherWeThrive
