Free Business Seminars
There is one incredible resource we often overlook: small business development centers. They offer free seminars and one-on-one consultations. They are put-on by highly regarded and established professionals in their respective fields.
Just tonight I went to a free seminar organised by SCORE. The topic was 'Selling Techniques That Work,' and the speaker was in charges of sales for FedEx, no less. Last week, I went to one entitled 'Marketing. How To Get And Keep Your Clients.' That speaker has done marketing for the likes of Nike and Apple Computers. He's worked side by side with Steve Jobs, probably the best marketing guy on the planet!! And guess what, this guy is available for one on one consultations for free. Well, he did say it might costs us a cup of coffee since his preferred meeting place is Starbucks.
So how do you find out about all this cool stuff? Start here. ASMP has kindly put together a long list of resources that business owners can tap into. Plenty to munch on...

OC Strobist Meetup Next Sun Jan. 20th
Come join us for another edition of the OC Strobist Meetup. Nothing to do with the tv show I promise, just a bunch of passionate photographers learning about lighting. It's exciting, it's fun and you'll pick up a few things you didn't know, that's guaranteed.
If you want to come prepared, read up on Strobist. Look for the L102 post in the drop down menu on the right hand side.
So the default location is Huntington Beach, but I'm open to suggestions. So just email me at cemoaquoi@yahoo.com
It'll be Sunday Jan. 20th around 2pm. See you there.
