BBC Friday 19 April 2013 – Story Telling Reprise

Join us this BBC Friday for Story Telling Time Reprise!

thumb_0051

Last Friday at BBC we heard some great stories and accounts of the business journeys of our fellow BBCites, Annette Walker (astonishinc.com), Mickey Molnaire (molnaire.com), Carol Thornburgh (thornburgh-insurance.com), and others. What a great time of sharing and learning! For from our stories comes powerful lessons and business wisdom, as well as a deeper connection with fellow entrepreneurs.

As noted, the forth founding principle of BBC states: The BBC offers its members the opportunity to build connections of trust between each others companies and services, sharing skills and specialties, and critiquing professional copy. Part of the way we started out building trust in one another’s businesses was to share our stories, who we are as business owners and entrepreneurs. Story telling.

We’ll continue another week with this idea, giving a few more the opportunity to share their stories.

BBC Regular Tom McKinnon has recently found himself in transition and will share this turn of events in his entrepreneurial journey, what he has learned, what may be next.

So, invite your friends and associates to join us for this exciting time … and another delicious cup of BBC!
