You MUST live and work within the 704 Area Code to join this network - Do you?: inSide704 Staff/Admin

Can you commit to adding 1 positive item to the community each month? (it can be a question, an answer, an invite or really anything positive):: Yes and more

About my Business:: My mission is to launch Social Communities specifically focused on the Micro Business Owner and Profession in very small geographic areas. Where people can connect, share and grow their networks and in turn their business.

There are now close to 300 Micro Business Networks (like inSide919) setup across America. One for each area code in the US with a committed focus on that areas small business owner and professional.

I feel that the Large National/Global services (MySpace, Facebook, Linkedin) don't serve this segment of American Business very well and hope to change that in a small way.

I am passionate about this mission.

About Me:: I have been married for 20 years and have 4 children with 2 still living at home and in High School and the other 2 making their way in the world.

I married a wonderful woman (well above my head) and things have been pretty darn good ever since.

I love to read, cook, play golf, fantasy football and make my own line of Hot Clili Powders (using NC grown Cayenne, Jalapeno, Scotch Bonnet and Habanero chillies).

Hanging with my sweetie and kids doing pretty much anything make for the perfect day.

My Ideal Customer is:: a 'Sponsor' of one of these networks. There will only be 10 Sponsors per network and we have some really neat things to offer that will help with their internet marketing on several fronts. Simply contact me via the internal email.

My Ideal Referral Partner is:: Someone who has a blog, website, newsletter, mailing list or other communication platform that speaks to small business owners. Business Coaches are a great match for what we offer.
