FAQ's - Our Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What do I get if I join?
A. If you sign up for our Meetup you get invited to the exclusive member only monthly meetings. You get to be a part of a local growing group of awesome entrepreneurs, business owners and people thinking about starting a business. If you come to the meetings you will meet us face-to-face.
Our monthly meeting takes place in Columbia, Missouri (so don't join our Meetup if you live outside the area) on the second Tuesday evening. 7-8:30pm. There is usually a presentation, discussion, and Q&A time. There are no direct product pitches and the meeting is free.
If you sign up for our newsletter we will email you helpful tips about business and marketing a couple of times a month. This is also free.
If you join us on Facebook you get to interact with us, post comments and ask questions.
Q. Is it really free?
A. Yes. Just like Joe & Dean's podcast there is no charge. All we ask for is your time and engagement.
Q. Can I attend to the Meetup if I'm not a member?
A. No. But members can bring a guest. Membership to our Meetup is free.
Q. Can I come and speak at your Meetup?
A. Maybe. We don't have product pitches, you need to be an expert in a field that is relevant to our members.
Contact Mark at ILMCOMO@gmail.com with your presentation proposal.
Q. You have a ton of members but Meetup shows only a few attend your Meetups, what gives?
A. That's a good question and it's typical of many of the groups on Meetups. Crazy huh? people sign up for real life connections and then stay in the virtual world!
I'm told that it's due in part to membership being free - there is much more commitment when people have some "skin in the game"
Q. Can I join your Meetup group even if I won't be coming to the meetings?
A. Please don't. We would love to have you join us virtually here and on Facebook. We would love to have you sign up for the newsletter but please don't join Meetup if you don't plan on coming to our meetings!
Even though it costs nothing for you to join our Meetup they do charge us as the organizer's.
Q. Do you really have members in Mongolia?
A. Not as far as we know BUT we bet that Joe & Dean have listeners there! What we teach can be used anywhere on the planet!
Q. Doesn't it cost money to give away all this free stuff?
A. Yes. I (Mark) have a passion for marketing and business and knowledge that I like to share with others on the same journey. It would cost to be a member of many groups like this and I choose to put my money into this instead. Incidentally if you would like to contribute Meetup has a icon on our Meetup page.
Q. Will Joe & Dean be at your Meetup?
A. No. Unless they happen to be in Columbia, MO and decide to stop by!
Joe and Dean are not involved in our Meetup, this website, or our Facebook page. We operate completely independently of them like the other Meetup groups around the world.
Q. Can I get free one-on-one coaching?
A. Generally no. But if you are a regular attendee or a worthy cause I may consider it.
Q. BUT you didn't answer my question, what do I do!
A. Reach out to us at ILMOCOMO@gmail.com
