A unique Zoom Motivational-Networking Group meets every Wednesday from 1-15 pm (BST). Each week I have a different theme. It is based on my Monday morning Blog. Three questions are talked through in breakout rooms on Wednesday at 1-15 pm Motivational-Networking Group. It works and works very well because it brings together people from around the world who are able to talk about their businesses and what they do and would like to accomplish in their lives. Many different problems are raised during the meetings by the people in the group but mainly it helps others on their business journey. Couple this with Gurugeoffrey’s Motivational talking by imparting his 50-plus years of business knowledge, lecturing, workshops, after-dinner talks and all this with his anecdotal experiences.
