“It's a great feeling when you are in a group of like-minded people who share some of your interests and goals and want to help you achieve those goals, which is growing your business. However you do need to interact with everyone there and see what they are all about, what they stand for, and how you might be of service to them...

"BBB is really my favorite meetup at this point, because it is focused. Whereas many of the meetups are a little aimless and shoot-from-the-hip, BBB seems to have more purpose.... I am new to entrepreneurship, but already I've seen just how powerful face-to-face networking is. It's true that people want to work with those they know and like, not just someone who sent them a piece of paper in the mail." – D.C., August '08
