Attend this mind-blowing line up of some of the best and brightest business owners around Puget Sound -- yes, they ALL live, work and play here - who are coming to share their expertise with you on how to grow yourself AND your business.

No slouches here. Only go-getters and go-givers please.

Now, some of the names of our speakers will be familiar to you and some, I'm sure, are brand-spanking new to you. But that's the goal --- to bring together the best and the brightest stars to share with you their innovative ideas and leave you with real life strategies that you can implement immediately - in many cases, even before you leave the event!

Let's talk about you! The Work Smarter Forums are for you if:

You are a leader in your field, company, or organization. You may be a business owner, an expert, a professional, an executive.
You've been in business for at least two years. You could be self-employed (gone from working for someone else to creating a job for yourself) or an independent professional or practitioner ready to build your vision of a business empire.
You're ready to delegate and take the plunge to hire employees and consultants.
You have accomplished a lot of what you set out to do and now you want more... but aren't quite sure what.
You don't need an explanation of ROI - but you do need to get more focused on it!
You're frustrated with putting out fires all the time and are ready to be done with that!

If your business model and marketing strategies can use some updating, then it's time to join us at Working Smarter!

How we differ from every other networking group

Look, we've all been part of other networking groups in the Puget Sound area and we wanted to try something different. So we're restricting the group to people who have been in business for a while - no newbies, please. (MLM folks are restricted to talk about products only - not the opportunity to start another business.)

We're looking for people with focus, people with vision, and people with a good sense of humor - laugh a little, learn a lot!

The best of on-line, best of in-person

We've designed the Work Smarter Forum events to be the best of internet networking combined with the best of in-person events. So there'll be some formal networking during the event, a web 2.0 group, and some exciting learning opportunities.

Each speaker will bring exercises that you'll complete during the learning part of the morning, so you can immediately see how a concept or strategy works.

And of course, we want you to have a great breakfast and wonderful networking time with other business owners who share your passion to grow themselves and their business to new heights.

What can you expect?

Expect to be challenged. Expect some great conversation. Expect to make some new friends. And expect to leave the event with new skills you can use right away.
