3/24/04 Breakfast Meeting Summary

The Mercer Chapter Breakfast Meeting was held at the Americana Diner on Route 130 in East Windsor on March 24. Thirteen existing and potential members attended to hear Self-Help Tips for the Solopreneur.

• Deciding on the type of entity, e.g., S Corporation, C Corporation, and LLC.
• How to grow the business – networking, advertising, professional alliances, e.g.
• Proper use of e-mail.
• Differentiating products and services from the competition.
• Making a great first impression and being aware of first words spoken and appearance.
