Learn social media from the pro

Local entrepreneur, Nicole Donnelly, is our guest speaker this month talking about how to Make Social Media Simple. She will speak from 5:30pm to 6:00pm.

Hear the story of how a single person influenced an industry from the customer up to create a multimillion dollar company. Learn specific tools, tactics, and techniques for leveraging social media to make your dreams come true.

As the founder of BabyLegs (which became wildly successful), Nicole has a lot of insights to offer about how to leverage the internet to build a thriving business.

P.S. To really get the most out of our November meetup the work starts BEFORE you go. Every person going to the event should pre-arrange meetings with group members before they even step in the door. To help everyone get the most out of this meetup Greg has put together a video of Susan J. Moore and I sharing tips on how group members can leverage meetups for their careers and businesses. http://bit.ly/lsvid01
