It would be great to see you there! @Katharine Wright  

If you do want to attend I am just asking for a confirmation via email or messages so I can keep track.

Its awesome to see all the excitement around this meetup! and of course when we start to get back to normal we will return to Renton since the point is to have one centrally located but at the moment we have a space available that was graciously opened up to us by @Michael Haas at the office space connected to the rainier brewery. unfortunately due to regulations space is limited, I will send an invite to those who have emailed me or messaged me but if you cant make it I just ask that you please let me know so someone else can fill the spot.

Hey everyone! just wanted to give an update since I have been in the process of getting a new  location since everything shut down again but I did finally secure one and am just waiting for a confirmation on the exact time but I am hoping for the 29th of this month. I will post again when I confirm that and will send out invites.

Hey @Ruben Silberman , @Lindsey Mac and @Griffin Coxen sorry for the late reply, would be great to see you guys! we are building a big list and just waiting for a little bit longer to have the place open up for us to join in. Zoom meeting is always better than nothing but as I mentioned its not the quite the same.

Thankyou both for your responses! I know if I read someone else post like this I would say the same thing, it was just one of those things that was going great and felt like I was growing some good relationships until this whole MLM thing got incorporated so it messes with your head! Lol 
I guess the biggest thing for me is being around high level business owners, it’s odd but there are guys that have multi million dollar businesses outside of this MLM program so they are successful in there own right. 
The having to buy from this store that I don’t really care for sucks so I totally agree with if it’s not right for me then it doesn’t fit. 

Lol send over that princes number! I could use an easy million with a small investment of 100k 😂

Just to keep everyone updated, the last meet up was great! I was planning on doing another one this Friday, the 20th but of course they are shutting down the bars and everything again. I will post a new date when they open back up!

Hey everyone, I am currently investing through bedroom rentals and have met people who are much further along than I am who I look to for advice which is great. Recently I randomly met someone who I actually really like and basically took the form of a general mentor, he owns a successful marketing company and after meeting 5-6 times he drops the Amway multileveling marketing thing on me and asks if id like to join, "his company is separate". I am not interested in the Amway program or products but what I do like is the mentor portion of it that they all follow.

It sounds so weird out loud but here's the scoop, to basically be apart of the mentor program I have to buy $300 dollars worth of products from this amway store and then pay $150 dollars a month. In total you pay $450 a month but you keep the products which consists of common consumable products. The only issue is we might really only use $100 dollars of stuff a month that can be bought on the site since we are kind of minimalists. 
The main part of it is to just be around some high level people on a regular basis 

Looking for insight if I should bag this whole thing and not pay to use the mentor program, any and all help would be much appreciated!
