A great turn-out this week and everyone seemed to be in good form - must be the short week :) The theme this morning seemed to be Holidays/Vacation. Joan started that thread and a few people carried it on in their Elevator Speeches - I even convinced myself I want to go to Paris in the Spring - the Power of suggestion at work!!!
Dr. Stephanie Gray joined us this morning for breakfast. Stephanie & her husband own Fall River Chiropractic located at the Sobey's Plaza. We hope to see her again at our breakfast table.
We are delighted to welcome Liz Curran as a member. Liz is just back from Northern Ireland & Majorca and is suffering a holiday hangover!! I am sure we will hear more about Liz's Photography business over the next few weeks. Check out the link to Liz's site (Mind's Eye) on the side of the blog.
Other jet-setters include Jerry who is back from his trip to the UK and now looking for even more houses to sell; Joan is back from Jamaica and happy to be back at the breakfast table; Catherine was in Chicago and Boyd was in Newfoundland!!
Boyd told us a little more about his recent visit to Tax Court and Bill explained Shadow Boxing & Poster Mounting (services now available at Advantage Frame & Mirror).
Trade Shows: Jeff kindly brought in some tickets for the Chamber of Commerce B2B Expo next week and Lori reminded us about the AMI show (see last week's entry for details) coming up - she has a few tickets available - email her for details.
Marybeth sent her apologies, along with her Elevator Speech! Thanks MB. If you are unable to attend, please let me know and if we don't have your Elevator Speech on file, send me a copy so we can share it with the group in your absence.
Membership in Fall River Club is now at it's maximum capacity. We have a big group now and it is hard to get a balance between networking, having fun & getting the business done . . . . . any suggestions??
This week’s Speaker was me - Eleanor Seaman-Bolton.
Eleanor talked on the topic of her business ~ Coaching ~ explaining some of the services offered, including One-to-One Coaching, Workshops and Advice & Consulting for small businesses & Entrepreneurs. After offereing a few definitions of Coaching, the group were asked to do a short exercise on Goal Setting. Don't forget the 1-week offer - if you would like some help (advice/support/another point of view) with setting or achieving a goal within the next 7 days, call or email Eleanor
Next week’s speaker is Dee Govang. We need a speaker for November 1st - any volunteers?
Referrals
We had 23 referrals this week and Lynn won the prize - a box of Irish handmade chocolates!! Notice she didn't offer to share them at breakfast :-)
Referral Tip of the Week
- Reciprocate
Ask referrers (or potential referrers) how you might best refer them. Try to understand their business so you can describe it in a way that is likely to get them business (maybe you ask them for a copy of their elevator speech). If you think it might be helpful, plan a meeting with other members, have a coffee and a chat and find out what they do & how they do it.
Ask them to confirm your understanding. And, don't forget the obvious: Be sure you have their phone numbers, email addresses, and any other relevant details you'll need to pull off a referral.
Book of the Week ~ Goals!: How to Get Everything You Want-Faster Than You Ever Thought Possible by Brian Tracy
One of my favourite topics - only one of a multitude of books on this topic but I chose this one as Brian Tracy is one of my favourite authors! This book synthesizes the best and most practical techniques for setting and achieving personal and financial goals. Tracy explains the seven key elements of goal setting and the twelve steps necessary to accomplish them, encouraging readers to use their strengths to define their values and to align their abilities with the particular opportunities presented to them.

That’s it for this week! See you all at next week ~ LNR.
