The San Diego Networking Guide
Providing The Connections For Your Business Success
Welcome to 2008! Welcome to the new format! In our effort to keep this resource available at no charge for you or the event hosts, we have brought on sponsors to help. First, SanDiego.com, will soon carry a link to the SDNG and host our blog which will be renamed Networking and The City. (Read it here now). Second, we offer sponsorships in the form of logo ads in the right column. We also are accepting commercial workshop ads, located in the left column. Please support them. They help us keep the SDNG available...at no charge...for all users. Oh...and let me know if you like the new format. Love it? Hate it? Tell me!

Go Forth and Network! ~ Mindy ~

The Next Millionaire's Handbook Workshop
"Making The Connection", a 3- hour workshop based on "The Millionaire's Handbook" is becoming a very popular event. We have even had repeat attendees...not only for the material, but for the networking opportunities. What better place to network than with those who care enough about the process to hone their skills on business relationships!



And Just for Fun....
What do Women Want? That question is answered in hilarious detail by comedian Robert Dubac in his one-man play The Male Intellect: an Oxymoron coming to the Poway Center for the Performing Arts on January 26th. I have seen this play and it is rolling-in-the-aisles funny. (Don't let the title put you off...He's definitely "equal opportunity" in his observations.) For a clip of Robert on a late-night talk show click here. Be prepared to laugh out loud!


Upcoming Networking Events - Here are a few highlights - for the full listings, see the links in the article below.
San Diego Business Journal's 2008 Economic Trends breakfast is tomorrow, January 8th. I have attended in the past and it will be a great opportunity to meet the business leaders of San Diego.

The National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) meets for dinner on the 16th. And Biz San Diego Magazine starts their great Speaker Series Breakfasts on Thursday the 24th.

The Oceanside and Vista Chambers are joining forces for at least three 5-Minute Networking events this year and the first one is January 23rd.

For those of you who are interested in networking in Orange County, here are a couple of options. First, RBN is having their Major Business Expo on Tuesday the 29th. Second, the American Business Women's Assocation (ABWA) will be holding their 2008 Women On The Go regional conference in Fullerton on January 26th.



The 2008 San Diego Networking Guide Calendar is Ready!

Of course, it will always be a work in progress. Some of the Chambers have yet to update their own calendars, but I will continue to add to it.

As in the past, there are two calendars that give you a month's glance at upcoming events....one calendar for chamber events, and one calendar for weekly, & monthly networking organizations. If you attend an event, please let them know you heard about them from The San Diego Networking Guide!

Meet Your LinkedIn Neighbors!
LinkedIn is proving to be a major player in online business and relationship development. I have been talking about the online community LinkedIn for a while. Just when I was thinking of getting us all together and connecting, one of my "connections", Stephanie Adams, actually started a San Diego chapter... LinkedIn San Diego. She is planning her first mixer for those members on January 16th.

What is "Good Service...Really?

We have all read it…a thousand times at least…the description in a marketing piece that claims they are “Dedicated to customer service”. It’s probably in our own marketing material right now. We ALL want to give “good customer service”. (If not, we should not be in business!).

This past holiday season, as emails message of peace and “good will” were making the rounds, I came upon this one that had a simple, but heartfelt message applicable to any time of the year and to everyone in business. It is only 3 minutes long. Do you have three minutes to change a life? http://tinyurl.com/2zesmp
