Anyone interested in gathering weekly for coffee, inspiration and brainstorming? I could use someone to bounce ideas off and to check-in with. |

I'm open but Monday mornings seem right, a good way to start the week. |

Interesting idea! Any guidelines for how it would work? |

That is an interesting idea. I just finished my full time job, and was thinking of doing something by my own. Please let me know when you get together? |

Here is what I had in mind: A weekly get together with one or more entrepenurial women to check in, share ideas, set goals. I envisoned women like me: I have a business but am interested in starting a new venture and could use feedback and motivation. If you are just beginning to explore entrepenurial options that would be fine also. So let's just say Monday morning at 9:00 at Starbucks or Cait and Abby's and take it from there. How does that sound? |

I may or may not pop in. My kids will mostly be in camp this summer, so I could probably make it around 9:15 or so. I have no concrete idea, but lots of ideas nonetheless.

9:15 is fine. This coming Monday the public schools are still in session so I thought it might be a good time to start, then we can adjust accordingly. |

I'd love to discuss entrepeneurial ideas and brainstorm about what I can do to get out of this job ... but I can't make it cause I am stuck at this job. Oh well, woe is me ... it's a vicious circle!

This Monday I will have a toddler with me, but can be there about 9 (if we decide to do it). What's the consensus? Starbucks? Who else is in? If I come, it will be for an hour then I have to get my butt to the gym. |

Who am I looking for? Wll you have a sign? I'll have a 3 year old attached to my wrist. Not sure how much I can contribute to the group, but I'm good to bounce ideas off of. |

Thincer, I am out of commission this morning due to a stomach bug. Hopefully others will show up. Sorry! Let me know if you'll be there next week (might be tough because of camp drop-offs) or the following week, when hopefully everyone will be into their summer schedules.

Do you mind if I show up with my 21 month old? I know it's an inconvenience, but as long as she's eating, she's quiet. I sold my small company last year and am trying to figure out what to start next. |

It's OK with me. If the group continues to grow we will have to figure out the logistics of space and children. I look forward to meeting you. Merle |

Did you meet today? I couldn't make it. Mothers & More has a Mother Owned Businesses group (which hasn't been meeting lately), and I belong to another group called Mother Entrepeneurs. I would have a 6 month old baby with me if i can make the meeting. Do you plan to meet weekly? monthly? thanks! |

Yes, we will continue to meet weekly. 10:00 on Tuesday mornings at Starbucks SO for now. Hope to see you, you can share information on the other groups. We do have some moms with young children in the group. |

Is this still running? I run a business for myself and always have questions. This sounds so great. Still Starbucks at 10? |

i stopped by last week, but didn't spot anyone. Maybe this would take off more in September? I could really use some regular support and goal setting! |
