Hello to the group of small biz owners like myself!
I am intrigued at the variety of types of businesses in this group and I am looking forward to learning from a lot of you. My company is mobelwerks, inc, which is a family owned custom cabinet /millwork /furniture company on the NW side of Indianapolis. We can take our clients from design conception through fabrication within our facility on Guion Road. We also love working with designers and architects on their furniture designs and helping them to bring their designs to reality. I have a slideshow of images of our past work on my page and you can see more on our website, www.mobelwerks.biz. BTW, mobel is the German word for furniture...yes, we are a German family business. My father learned his trade as an apprentice in Germany when he was a teenager and passed the trade on to his children.

Machelle,
Welcome!
There are a hundred or more networking opportunities out there today.

Smaller Indiana, LinkedIn, Rainmakers (www.gorainmakers.com), BNI, NAG (www.nag-castleton.ning.com), Confluence (www.indyconfluence.com)...all good places to start. Every chamber of commerce has networking--Fishers, Carmel, Indianapolis, Zionsville, Greenwood, etc., so look at your preferred geography and get their information.

One thing to look at is how to measure and know which groups to keep and which to move out of your schedule. Here's an article about that process as your schedule starts to fill: When to Dump a Networking Group

What are some of your best networking avenues? I just joined this group and am trying to do more out in the community. My business is Solutions Home Staffing, and I place domestic staff such as personal assistants, house managers and nannies for individuals and families.

Hello all! I just wanted to let everyone know that I just posted a free 11 page report titled "How the Internet Can Kill Your Business", which is available for download at our squeeze page... http://www.internet4execs.com.

Among other tidbits, I identify the universal misconception business owners have about their marketing, 3 effective ways to attract your clients, and why Google advertising might not work for you.

I do ask for your contact information, but I hate spam as much as you do. I do not sell lists, so your information will be safe with me.

Let me know if you have any questions regarding the report, contact me at Rescott, LLC Marketing & Technology (317) 816-0700.

I would like to introduce my company to you. We are Midwest Coffee Company in Marion. We are custom roasters of coffee 100% grown & processed chemical free. We have a very large selection of these coffees including Kenyan coffees. We want to share of love of coffee with all of SmallerIndiana. We do this through pubic and private coffee tastings. These tastings are fun, relaxed and educational. We are working toward opening a unique coffee house in Marion in the next 12 months. We are internet retail, locals pick up right at the roasterie. Visit our site to read about our excellent selection. There are reviews post on the Green Business Network site.

We post a fun and educational blog, called Fresh Coffee. Visit it soon. Today we posted an article called: The Good, Bad & the Ugly of Blending. Click on the picture, I dare you!

Our coffee will soon be available at new shop in Nora. Watch for details.
Indy Magazine did a feature article on our company in the June issue.

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
