September Recap
Well, we just finished our September meeting a few days ago and wanted to send a thank you to all those who attended. For those who missed, I apologize for getting the invite email out so late.
On to the recap!!!
First Randal Brown, our partner CPA, has been doing some work with his other company over in Branson Creek, hiring people in the call center, putting on golf events, and much more. We also discussed a bit about Living Trusts. Although he doesn't help with the formation of them, he does help with the accounting for them. Randal also mentioned through personal experience, it saved his family many headaches by already having one formed at the time of a loved ones passing.
If you wish to know more, please contact an attorney that deals with trusts, as well as your CPA and your financial professional to see if it would be a good fit for your situation.
Next, I'd like to welcome back Dexter Coleman. He's joined us in the past and try's to make it when he can. We are glad that the reason he can't always join us is because of how much business he is getting. Since he's been gone for so long, we went back over what he offers with his diversity training and human resource services. For dealing with such issues in your business, he is definitely a good resource to utilize to maximize efforts.
Marie Webster joined us again and gave us another update. Things are still going in the right direction and we wish her all the best. And as a testament to what this group was formed for, Marie brought forth some issues and is getting help from those in the group to not only get rid of those issues, but is also getting the help to increase business. She is getting help from two great resources in this group, Randal Brown and Marquis Washington. Randal is helping with making sure Marie's tax questions get answered correctly and that her previous CPA did things right and Maquis is helping her on her companies website to make it more visible to those searching for her services.
We look forward to seeing the results of both of that so we can keep the good news flowing.
Marquis Washington spent most of his time working with Marie so we didn't get to hear much about what is going on with his business.
And lastly, I would like to welcome back Johnny and Yolanda Gray. It's been over a year since last we saw them and boy have they been busy. In the last year, they've had massive growth, bought a new, bigger building, even added a new business venture to the mix. And somewhere in that mix managed to find time to get married (Congratulations from all of us)! And of course with massive growth comes new problems. Communication between employees/contractors. But, with a little help to streamline, that won't be an issue much longer. We look forward to seeing you both get those additional outlets you are wanting as well as us being a part of helping make that happen.
Please also take some time to fill out our survey at and give us your opinion. In order for us to grow to better serve you, we need you to tell us how best to do that.
