I couldn't find anything, so I'm getting a post together.

Anyone in the area interested in getting together once in a while?

Regards,

    Hi Guys (& Gals)

    Joe here.
    I live by Science World, Main St Station.

    Perhaps we should set something up.
    What would you like?
    Classroom, Community Centre, restaurant or bar?
    I prefer the first 3; bars can be loud & prone to distraction.
    Classrooms or Community Centres may have a rental fee.
    I can look into some options.
    A restaurant table may be the easiest sort to start.
    Want I should look into it, maybe set up something Late February/Early March?

    Lets build a success-hub.

    Be well,

    Joe

      I just tried the link at the bottom of your sig and get a 403 forbidden error. Tried direct link, copy and paste and firefox (just a not found error). Anybody else?

    Hey all,

    Sorry, I completely forgot about WF for a while. IM kept me busy.

    Yeah, let's set something up. Whoever's interested can send me a PM, and depending on the amount of people coming about, we'll see where we can get our first meetup.

    Yeah, doesn't work either, but I wouldn't mind setting up a mastermind group in Vancouver in any case.

    I live in Burnaby as well.

      Whoops, sorry about that. I changed the link in my signature now.

      Just to be clear, I know a lot of internet marketers that do very well in Vancouver, but MOST keep to themselves or it's them and a buddy.

      The group in my signature has various people that show up for meetings where we discuss specific topics in the Internet Marketing Subgroup, but its for the wide (beginner to intermediate) audience. Your best bet is to find a small group of people who are willing work with you to either mentor you or to learn together with you.

      At any rate, I'm always open to meeting more guys with similar interests, feel free to drop me a line.

    Hmm.. Cool. I live in Victoria, well Sidney, so I'm almost as close as some people on the mainland considering the airport and ferries are each about 10 minutes away from me...
    I'm still going to look around to see if there's one for Victoria yet, and if not probably make one... But perhaps a convergence at some time.
    Are you holding meetings offline?

      No, only live meetings where we can really talk and get to know each other. Online meetings are not planned.

        Hello Vancouver-ites,

        I'm a lower mainlander in surrey.

        I'd be interested to meet-up with a few people. I have an office in surrey and could host a small-ish "LAN party". I've also got a projector and screen setup for presentations/discussions.

        Of yah, I've also got a full video studio if any of you want to make some videos for online. I'm willing to rent time cheap if the equipment stays on my premise (film against green screen).

        I'd love to meet up with a few regulars and maybe work on a few projects together.

      Hey Guys,

      My name is Evan, and I'm in Burnaby.

      Just signed up with WF and looking to meet up with local entrepreneurs as well.

      Not on here that often (yet), so send me an email if you get this and are interested in chatting some internet marketing, OR already have a group that I can join up with.

      Cheers!

    Great. Ok, there looks like there is a bit of interest in the mastermind meetings in the Vancouver area.

    Over the years, I've come across of lot of such groups/gatherings. Currently, I know of a few around town, from 3 people to 20 people meetings. In my experience, after seeing so many of these groups, they sorta start out strong, then peter off in the end as most people don't really commit to doing it (Vancouver syndrome) and not much happened.

    I'd like to do something different from these previous ones.

    I'd like to set up a mastermind where we actually meet for educational or collaboration purposes, NOT just general meetings every time. For example, we'll talk about work flows or learn about new things or discuss topics in a deeper aspect. Would love for us to work on some projects together, either an existing one or to create a new test one.

    Thus, we don't really need a ton of people, I'd rather have people who actually have time to commit to a project.

    I have access to an office area that we can rent out for our meetings during the weekdays, that has Shaw Extreme high speed internet, everyone just pitches in $10 to $15 for the room.

    If you are interested, please PM me and once we have a few guys (a few of you already have PM'd me), we'll schedule regular meetings.

    audio90: My little Machiavelli radar is blinking like crazy.

    Did you read the posts above? I'm not interested in paying for space... I doubt others are going to get $10-15 of value out of your shaw connection. I'm looking to connect with people. :rolleyes:

    This is the kind of behaviour that will scare people off and prevent commitment (as per your fear).

    Hi LynxSI,

    Hey thanks for your input. Yes, I did read it and you know, I'm not looking for a large group as those tend not to be as good as small (and deep) mastermind groups. I'm really interested in a small handful of people. Max is 10, as you'll see why below.

    The cost is the cost of the office, not for the internet connection, but of course it sure is nice to have a space that actually have fast connection for once. It is an actual office, meaning that we will use it to project manage, post charts, and do stuff - of which we'll actually do, either discussions in learning or doing or both. I have a few tools that I'm using right now that I'd love to share with other. The office will be private as well.

    However, if you can find us a free office like this that we can use consistently, then I'm not opposed to using it instead..

    If the cost is a barrier for anyone to participate, then the answer is really quite simple, don't. I'm interested in a group that actually wants to invest their time, effort, and least of all money (trust me, the time and effort in doing this COST way more, I live that reality every day). Why don't we all go out for a group dinner and we'll make sure everyone pays your share as well.

    If one adds up the cost for all the meetings that will happen over the course of a year, that wouldn't even come close to the cost of one of the big packages that are being sold on internet marketing today, yet we're doing to be cross learning and actually doing a variety of example strategies.

    One thing is guaranteed. It will be fun.

    So again, if you can't pay, let's say $15 for the use of the room, I'm sure there are still a lot of groups that meet at free spaces out there that you can find, no problem here.
