Partnership at its best… my business partner, Janet Cook, and I complement each other in that we are like and unlike each other. We are alike in our passion for helping people, learning new skills, being entrepreneurs and loving life. We both appreciate how magnificent people are and look for it. For us, the glass is always half full, even in the face of circumstances that might say otherwise, like bill collectors or a broken furnace. We dream and act to reach those dreams. People close to us have said at times that we are unrealistic (or even a little crazy). But we aren’t.
We are unlike each other in that Janet is more outgoing and I have to deliberately be accessible. Naturally, I am shy and could happily sit in a corner and read. But I can’t have the voice I want in the world if I don’t learn to interact in crowds, even when I am uncomfortable. I am married 14 years to an amazing artist, David, and Janet dates so I live vicariously on that front. I had almost forgotten about the dating world. Janet is more playful and I am more serious, tall and I am short. I am great with marketing, systems and online tools. She has owned successful businesses, including now. I have a job with businesses on the side. She is more organized about prospecting, following up and closing. I struggle to fit all my activities into my schedule. We complement each other, learn together, are brilliant models for each other, and consider ourselves lucky in our business partnership. Who are your business partners and what, together, do you bring to the relationship?

Don't walk, RUN and join Ilana's NYC Business Networking meetup group and Andrew Ran Wong's NY Entrepreneurs Business Network (NYEBN) meetup group at meetup.com for FREE. They have several great events every month that are worth attending at no or low cost. Moxiein the city.net is another that has lots of social events.

This New York Investing meetup below has great content on investing in the markets. Daryl Montgomery is VERY knowledgable. The people who attend are not very friendly so it is content-rich, not networking-friendly, in my opinion.
New York Investing Meetup
Thursday, November 12th at PS 41 (time: 6:45-8:45PM).
The overview of the markets will be given during the class. This class will add some new material in Technical Analysis and tie it together with previously taught material. If you missed any of the previous Technical Analysis classes you should certainly come to this one. This class will be the preparation necessary to attend the strategy sessions we plan on holding next year. These will be technical in nature with the goal of finding more good money making trades and avoiding losses. The market is likely to continue to have a number of major pitfalls and opportunities next year.
In the last class on Commodity Investing, I covered the gold breakout extensively and so far everything has gone as predicted. Gold touched it's breakout price of $1025. The breakout held. Gold just went to a new all time high (reaching $1099 on Wednesday). The stock market looks like it is trying to roll over and we will also discuss if the rally has come to an end. I plan on pointing out a new area for potential investing as well.

Social Networking (Web 2.0) for an Over 40
This social networking stuff is fascinating to me but, as one of the almost-50 set, I have a significant disadvantage over, say, a 10-year-old. I'm not really joking when I say that. Like any learning, the earlier you start, the easier it is. So, as usual, I ran to find a book, e-Riches by Scott Fox which was published in 2009 (because 2008 is antique already) and read it cover to cover twice. Anyone who knows me will not find that to be surprising. Think about Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, MySpace, LinkedIn, Tagged... you get the idea. By the way, I LOVE YouTube, although my first few videos were done stretching my arm out as far as I could reach and filming, so my head was the size of a watermelon in the viewfinder. Ha! The other drawback was that people kept walking behind me to be helpful, right through my film. Aargh!
The really challenging thing is that each social networking site comes with mostly unwritten community rules on top of the site rules and what's a woman to do. It's a little like threading a boat between ledges through shark-infested waters. No intention to offend or get grounded or eaten but the waters are muddy sometimes. I enjoy this though because I am passionately committed to opening conversations on particular topics and all these technologies give small and large people a compelling (sometimes) voice to express views. I tend to like informative, uplifting, educational or entertaining material although the presentation does not have to be polished up. Mine isn't. I don't actually mind spam but I also watch commercials to see how people's thoughts are trending so I'm a little odd. What a marvelous time to be alive...
