Referring Business Your Way

LeTipCCE was a captive audience to Claudia Roemer, the financial adviser at Wells Fargo. Her candid and down to the roots of retirement planning talk was so easy to understand.  Many of us see the charts of how we may need so much in the bank to retire, and become dismayed.  But Claudia's approach to retirement planning is very easy:  just start---now! Any amount, any contribution, and your nest egg will grow.  Her compassion to the average person and their financial hardships in this economy is enlightening.  Her easy to follow plan starts with any amount you can afford to set aside, pay yourself first, and be consistent. She is patient and direct, and would be a great asset to anyone who has the need to start their financial future plans.  Her guidance will have you relaxed and ready, knowing retirement is very tangible!

Spring is a great time to grow your gardens...and your business.  There are several popular categories that could be for you! Join in a meeting and see if hiring a new sales force can grow your business and put dollars in your pocket!

Our April 2 meeting began with our speaker of the week, Scott Brown from James Brown Plumbing, Heating and Air Conditioning. He showed us the small air quality monitor that his company uses in both homes and businesses to measure temperature, humidity, pollutants, and other conditions of the air inside a building. We viewed several pages of a report that Scott's company had performed for a local business, using graphs, charts, and colors to help illuminate the critical issues and recommended actions to make the air more comfortable and healthier to breathe. Any home or business could benefit from the detailed information provided by this report. The monitoring and reporting are free, and Scott would be happy to schedule this service ( This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ).

Jack Ansley, of Ansley Portrait Studios in Devon, is celebrating his 66th year in photography.  Started by his father, Jack has been involved with the studio since a child.  They were the first color studio on the east coast, and have seen the many historical changes in photography from black and white, film, to color, and the transition to digital in 2002.   While smartphones and computers now hold the memories of our lives, there is still no replacement for a physical photograph.  Jack does printing on site, and can handle any size up to 44 inches by seven FEET! Keeping up with the latest technology is easy. Simply emailing your photo to Jack and within days can turn it into a poster, table cloth, banner, canvas transfer, or a simple photo ready to frame. Let decades of historical experience work for you at Ansley Studios.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Inspirational Video Conference with LeTip International CEO

The big screen was set up, the tests done, and there it was!  Kim Pettit Branch, the president of LeTip International was on the big screen from headquarters in Arizona.  As our featured speaker for two hours, LeTip CCE was treated to a dynamic, energetic and informative town hall set up.  The FIRST ever of it's kind, Ms Pettit Branch was beamed in to offer her experiences and candor to help our members thrive. Each member took their turn to ask Kim a question concerning any issue in LeTip.

Her LeTip beginnings were humble and very much like any one of our members. She consistently "failed" for seven months, trying to figure out how LeTip could work for her. She declined offers to join a meeting until one day her mechanic asked her if she would like to increase her business tenfold.  That stuck with her and she joined. From then on she tried everything to grow her business as a banker. After several profitable years,  She retired from banking, and purchased the LeTip company in 2005. Voted one of the Top Ten Women in Business, she has returned the company to it's grass roots, and is passionate about helping all members get the most that they can out of LeTip.
