Albert Winks on Building Ascension Mentorship – A New Kind of Networking (AoL 071)

Networking meetings, meetups, Facebook groups.

These are just a few places where entrepreneurs go to meet others in their quest to build their businesses.

But what does being a part of these groups do for the member?

What is it about that particular group that sets it different then all the other ones out there?

That differentiation will make or break the group in the long run.

Join us in this chat as we discover what makes a good village and how you might be able to get involved with one yourself.
