What I admire most is how we cooperating as entrepreneurs as Gary is envisioning with NYEW. We must band together to have a voice and it is a mission that endears me! My company (heart) wants to create entrepreneurs too, so I get it! I totally admire what NYEW stands for and its mission of entrepreneurship and whatever I can do to help, I will do.. If I may be so bold to say this, we are a strange breed of people as entrepreneurs to the "outside job world. And I freely say thta I feel at home with all of you. Why? Because you are risk takers and you get it! I do not know anyone on a personal level that does in my life. All the passion is within and it's as if I am a silent wolf in a 500 mile forest trying to find my fellow pack. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your pack! See you Thursday! Ciao!

“ The information presented, the opportunity to network. I not only exchanged business cards but, more importantly, had many really enriching conversations with other attendees. One woman exchanged cards upon overhearing my question to one of the presenters in the "commissary area"... a gentleman and I exchanged cards upon discovering we serve the same market sector in a non-competing manner, while discussing the incredible Seth Godin presentation. I had a really enlightening conversation with the comedian/presenter Tim Davis -- good stuff, quite frank and enlightening. This one was the real deal and, unlike the Learning Annex Internet Expo I attended on Sunday, the presenters were not there to hawk their thousand dollar info-packages, but to truly exchange useful information with all in attendance... ”

“ People should join because of the variety of professionals who attended. I especially appreciated CapitalOne's sponsorship and their offer of the free business checking account for a year. ”

“ Need diversity. This type of meeting can be useful to everyone all you have to know is how to use the talet that present themselves. For instance many companies were in the IT field looking for customers. Well everyone is a customer at some point in time. These IT companies are not trained in networking-they need a lot of help. In my case the reason people do not use these IT services is because they do not have the money to spend. Would it be nice if the IT company said we have this product and we can finance the deal-boy would business explode. If your creative these meeting are very successful-think out of the box. ”
