You are cordially invited to attend the Consultant Entrepreneur's Forum, an idea exchange intended to increase our value to our clients and firms, and more importantly, provide a stimulating repose from the mundane tasks of saving our client's organizations.

Our next meeting will be Friday, March 9th, between the hours of 2pm and 4pm at Pane e Cioccolato café on 10 Waverly Place (on the corner of Mercer) in downtown NYC (map). It's BYOF - Buy Your Own Food, and Pane only takes cash.

Participants can arrive any time between 2pm and 4pm, but note that arriving at 2pm permits you to get more out of it. Please RSVP to reserve an optimal number of seats.

For our next meeting, we will be discussing:

1) As the chroniclers of human existence, do we recognize and value creative artists, television producers, and New York Post journalists for more than their ability to amuse us, and do we truly understand human existence enough to value its chronicling;

2) And while on that topic, have ideas like "mass production" diminished the value of human existence or even human existence itself? This discussion will explore "convenience" and whether or not it's worth the cost of forgetting how to survive without it, irreparably ruining our environment for future generations, and its contribution to wildly unbalancing human equality;

3) Sharing ideas on improving our "backlogs" and "pipelines";

4) What if we lived in a world where the Confederates won, where Dr. Martin Luther King mobilized his flock into a new nation instead of integration, or where illegal immigrants were subversive agents of manifest destiny for their countries? In our attempts to save society from itself, everything has been explored, except secession from it. So, rather than save society, why not create a new one? This discussion will explore opportunities in American history when such an event may have been possible and why it didn't occur.

If you have a topic in mind, let me know and it'll get added on. Otherwise, bring it with you...

Remember, this is a casual forum, with no expectations of transactions, unless you're using ideas as currency. The notion continues to be that there are simply a dearth of stimulating experiences in our networking travels, making this a refreshingly innovative concept.

See you in 4 weeks!
