Great first meeting

Cindy,

The first Idea Factory meeting I attended yesterday was very informative. I joined the Education group and will be working with Steve on Business Support. My professional areas of expertise are in Customer Care, Performance Management, Training Development & Delivery and Organizational Process.

I'll see you at the next meeting.

We Need Your Feedback!

Tell us what you like best and least in the Idea Factory program. What do you want to know? What kinds of people do you want to learn from? What expertise can you share with the group? How can we encourage dialogue on the Blog? Do you already know what you want to do re a micro-business or just looking? Please let us know so that we are not flying blind!

Micro-Business Ideas

Got any brainstorms for micro-businesses? If so, you can post them here and find out if there are others that would like to join you in your venture, get feedback on your idea - or - if you can't develop it yourself - the idea may attract someone who can!

I will post some comments with ideas of my own - ideas that I don't have time to pursue, but probably would if I had the time - so if any of them appeal to you, have at it! And post some of your own! Boomers are full of ideas, creativity, and experience! Let's help each other get the creative juices flowing!
