CEO Space Pavilion Debuts

This last full week of October is a bit of a homecoming.
When I first started this publication (originally called The Networker) back in February, 2005, I knew it needed to be BIG and national, if not eventually, international. Unfortunately, at the time, this small-town kid from New Jersey (yes Virginia, they do have small towns in New Jersey) just recently transplanted to the Philadelphia suburbs and had no clue as to how to be seen and heard on a much larger scale. Keep in mind that online social networks were still in their infancy...Ryze and Friendster were semi-popular...LinkedIn and Facebook were only shadows of what they are today.
Enter CEO Space, an international network of entrepreneurs, service providers and angel investors that present "forums" five times a year. These forums are staffed by graduates and taught (at an MBA-level) by coaches, trainers and other professionals like Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul), Jay Abraham, John Grey (Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus) and a host of others. All forums culminate in a mega-sized trade show, designed to accelerate plans, attract team members, generate revenues and raise capital.
My brother introduced me to Cheryl Adams, wife of our own Rob Adams (one of our BLUE TUESDAY Report contributors) who was my local CEO Space Director. She told me all about CEO Space and I immediately knew that I had to be at the next forum in May of 2005 ("Class 505", as they put it). Long story short...I went...I attracted attention to The Networker, so much so that by August, we changed the official name to The National Networker...we were read all over the country just 6 months after we launched...keep in mind that there was no TNNWC website at the time...just an emailed newsletter.

Since then I've continued to go back to CEO Space as they have continued to support TNNWC (now international) and this week I am proud to announce the debut of the CEO Space Pavilion, which will be showcasing the various talent and personalities of the organization every week for the benefit of our members and subscribers. CEO Space now joins such esteemed organizations as BNI, The Joy of Connecting and Kalon Women in the The National Networker pantheon of pavilions!
Whether or not you're a graduate of CEO Space, as long as you're an entrepreneur, you will always find something of value in the new CEO Space pavilion...enjoy!
SPOILER ALERT: In the upcoming weeks, TNNWC will begin offering our members access to the CEO Space forums...email us at memberservices@tnnwc.com for more information.
In other news, we welcome back our old friend, Yossi Feigenson. For those new members who do not remember Yossi, he had a wildly popular column and was widely loved by our readers. This week, we are delighted to welcome Yossi back for the debut of his new column, Things of Value. WELCOME BACK YOSSI!!!
Next week...it's November already...election week in the U.S. and a new month of quality articles for your information, education and enjoyment!
