Tuesday Tidbits, July 13, 2010
Thanks to all who came today to hear Ginger McGuire speak about I-9 compliance and hiring issues. We had a great breakfast thanks to Food for Thought catering. We heard about Abrakadoodle from Lisa Kish-Pittman – Great art education programs for kids of all ages! We also heard about community events coming up including Carnation Festival and the City of Wheat Ridge Business Appreciation Luncheon on Aug. 6.
Go with a Winner ~ Be at the August 10 Enterprise Wheat Ridge meeting featuring Ken Ludwig,
“ReWire Your Brain for Success.”
Ken gives you tools and simple exercises to create an affirmative intentionality and a daily practice that will bring you into alignment with the success that you desire. You will experience more balance, more stability and more success in every aspect of your business and personal life.

Drive Traffic to your Business with an Open House
We encourage Enterprise Wheat Ridge members to schedule open houses at their businesses. Good way to get folks in the door to see what and where you do your business. If you don’t want to do it alone, find a business that could co-host with you. We have lots of service businesses who don’t have a physical location but would also like to showcase their service and products so think outside the box. Let us know and we can put your event in the Tuesday Tidbits. Check the Enterprise Wheat Ridge calendar to make sure something else isn’t going on around town that might conflict date-wise if you want other E WR members to attend!
