It was well worth my time. I really enjoyed the energy in the room and the content of the meeting. We talked about goals and to-do’s items that we have yet to do! I made a committment that I would work on my Branding for my web design company before the next meeting.

At one point we split into groups of three and each spend five minutes talking about our business, our goals and how we could assist each other in accomplishing those goals. I am currently searching for some web design clients that are wanting long-term ongoing web design, SEO and internet marketing to make their business even more profitable.

A little note I jotted down is:  Thought + Emotions + Actions = RESULTS  (TEAR). We often think about things that we want to do and put them off till a later date which often turns into never. These thoughts also bring about certain emotions, could be stress, worry, or even happiness… but what’s the use if we don’t add ACTION? Without action we won’t get the results we want, regardless of how long we thing about it.

One guy in the group has a great project he’s working on to get local bands more exposure on TV and on the web.

The other person in our group, Heather, does web design for Seargant Steam. Since I am in the same field of work I had a lot of tips to email to her.  Here is an excerpt of the advice I gave:

Here are some websites that I would recommend you take a look at.  These are some that I follow.  Some are SEO/Internet Marketing related and others are related to business.

This is the site I started to write my ideas about Online Marketing, SEO, Blogging, Social Media, Business Success and Entrepreneurship. Eventually I will use this to promote e-books, videos, and other things I will create to “duplicate myself”.

I own a web design company.  I love web design, SEO and Internet Marketing. It’s fun for me.  Business has been slower the past three months but life couldn’t be better; it’s awesome!  I have a feeling that things will start picking up very soon.

I often like to meditate within my head (have conversations with myself) regarding ideas and what I should do in life. I was contemplating things regarding my business and my passion for being involved in the freedom movement. I Had a strong impression that I should focus more on Freedom and that is why my Web Design business isn’t going as well.  God wants me to have more time to spend on my freedom efforts. It felt like that was the truth; who am I to deny what I feel inspired to do?

Consider 3rd Nephi 12…the Sermon on the Mount: http://scriptures.lds.org/en/3_ne/12
“resist not evil… love your enemies..
“Behold the afowls of the air, for they sow not, neither do they reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
“why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the alilies of the field how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself.
