Let's Network!

Hello, everyone!

I'm a fellow entrepreneur, specifically an importer, in the Seattle, WA
area. My business is about a year old. I have come across other
entrepreneurs who are importing and found that we all seem to have similar
sets of interests, issues, problems etc. I also found out that there are
many entrepreneurs out there who are working by themselves with different
skill-sets who can help one another brain-storm, solve problems or simply to
chat and lend support.

I know we are all busy with many tasks and things on our minds with very
limited time (or other resources). However, I would like to see if there's
anyone out there in the Seattle/King County area who would like to form a
group where we can get together and meet at a local venue and discuss
interests or issues around importing and business. This venue and meeting
will provide a great opportunity for locals to meet one another, network or
even collaborate and help each other.

As such, we want to make sure that this group can offer valuable advise to
others and can provide mutual assistance and benefits to the group.
Therefore, I want to only invite entrepreneurs who already have a business
and already have products placed in the marketplace to participate. Of
course we would like entrepreneurs in their planning stages to participate
but for now I would like to just limit the group to people who already have
first hand experience getting products thru the borders and selling to the
marketplace. We'll of course, down the road, invite others to participate.

I'm thinking of having our first meeting around late Sept/early Oct. For
those who are interested in joining, pls respond to e-mail at
ysingie@cablespeed.com with your name, telephone number, e-mail address and
a brief description about your business. I'll start to put a group list
together by mid-Sept to e-mail out to everyone who has responded to finalize
a meeting location, time and agenda.

So let's network and make a difference! Thank you for your time!
