Gee, I want some of that!

What happens when you hear overhear a conversation between two people who are clearly having some fun?

Don't you find yourself saying: "Gee, I want some of that!"

Take that "G" and add it to "Big" and you can understand how "Bigg success" got it's name!

I happened to met George and MaryLynn at SOBCon  a couple of years ago. We found ourselves at the same "master mind" table, really getting into the discussion with Anita Bruzzese and Kristen King. The schedule slipped, the master mind sections disappeared into the ether and we felt a lack of closure.

This year at SOBCon we arranged to get together for the Saturday sessions and along with Ben Curnett, we all had a great discussion.

The conversation continues and you can hear it on the Bigg Success podcast here

Consider subscribing to Bigg Success so you can have some of the "G" all the time!

job search notes: "take that next step with confidence"

It's a difficult time for anyone, but with a Job Search Jam Session this Friday, the quest for employment will become a little less lonely.

"By the end of the session, you should have more knowledge, more confidence and more contacts, so when you go make the next step in your job search, you can take that step with more confidence, more skill and maybe that additional network connection to take you where you want to be," said event organizer Steve Sherlock.

From 1 to 4:30 Friday afternoon, Sherlock invites "the laid-off, employed but looking to do something different and underemployed looking to get a full-time spot" to the Job Search Jam Session - a networking event that provides tools and contacts to those on the job hunt.
