I skipped the morning networking group today because I needed to finish other things. I had one in person meeting and a couple of calls. In person was good. This is a local business coach I found on LinkedIn. We’ll keep talking. I could definitely help him but that will take more trust. He seems … Read more
Today’s networking event will be my last in Sacramento until I’m back in late Spring. Today was more annoying than sometimes as there were more life coaches and MLM folks than usual. In future I’m going to look for groups focused on startup entrepreneurs and after work happy hour events. I may be done with … Read more
One advantage of the new LinkedIn prospecting tool is I can run it from my web browser. See for a variety of good reasons, automating stuff on LinkedIn isn’t something LinkedIn wants to support. They don’t want it to become a platform of people spamming each other with ads all the time. The tools that … Read more

My daughter Catherine and I went to a new Korean BBQ place for lunch. It was similar to another we had gone to and pretty good. There was the recessed hole in the table for fire. The lunch price was reasonable for all you can eat and they bring out plates of raw meat and … Read more
