In my Educational Moment this morning, I spoke about using the “comments” feature to add testimonials for fellow BNIers using this website (bniembarcadero.com). Here’s the quick and dirty:
Search: do a search (upper right) for, say, the last name of the person you’d like to give a testimonial to. If that doesn’t find them, try their [...]

I got a very official looking letter from the “Compliance Annual Minutes Board” telling me I had to pay $150 to comply with blah blah blah for my small business. I’m about to leave on a trip, I’m trying to quickly get things done and I was about to pay the $150 but I thought I’d check with Wayne first and he said to make sure it was coming from (and going to the CA FTB) and I couldn’t find that anywhere. Hmm. A quick Google search got me quickly to all of these people. Lots of people have paid. It’s a scam.

Thanks to BNI, I become a source of information and services and products. While at a party over the weekend, a friend asked for a specific website request. Deb Irinaga got me in touch with Ghostdog Design and I put Ghostdog and Andy in touch and a few days later Ghostdog was hired.
Thank you, BNI.

Our double-pane windows have broken seals and need to be replaced. I had the window company over, but they said the entire windows and frames didn’t necessarily have to be replaced, just the glass.
Anyone know a local (San Francisco) glass company they like?
Thanks again, Bradley
