You've heard there are three types of people:

1) Those that make things happen.

2) Those who watch things happen.

3) Those that say "what happened?"

Should you be in that top tier, let's get you booked as the Featured Speaker at one of our meetings so you can share those skills with a receptive audience.

In the event you're not that top level, come have lunch with us this Wednesday and we'll get you started on the path of motivating, inspiring and leading others into changes that make them happier and the world a better place to live, work and play.

Alas, should you be that bottom rung, we'll introduce you into the political world, where you will be surrounded by people who will gleefully point out what's happening from their very biased and selective point of view.

Successful regard$,

On This Day In History - July 10th
1553 
By all accounts an exceptionally intelligent young woman,
Lady Jane Grey  has the misfortune of attaining the throne of England at a time when Catholics and Protestants are waging merciless power plays. She will last a scant nine days as queen before being imprisoned and later executed.
1890
President Benjamin Harrison signs legislation making Wyoming the 44th state. The eastern part of the region had been acquired from France in the Louisiana Purchase, and the western portion ceded to the United States at the end of the Mexican-American War.
1913
With hot spots like 'Furnace Creek' and 'The Devil's Golf Course,' California's

Death Valley doesn't surprise with a mercury rise, but the temperature today tops out at 134° F, the highest ever recorded on Earth, and a record that will stand more than a century later. 

1925 

Renowned lawyer Clarence Darrow defends John Scopes for the crime of teaching the theory of evolution, and former US Secretary of State William Jennings Bryan is counsel to the prosecution in a highly publicized and contentious court case that's quickly branded 'the Monkey Trial.'

Market Expansion ~ Business Development
Entrepreneurial Education ~ Professional Growth
Since 1983!
  A not-for-profit cooperative association of independent businesses, founded from an economic development research project on the
importance of small business development conducted by the
 Houston Chamber of Commerce in the late 1970's.

With our first Co-Op meeting held March 14, 1983, to date we've worked with 51,484
 people, generating 44,182 tips, leads, referrals and items of new business, generating revenues exceeding one billion dollars, founded the Entrepreneurial Development Center - Houston's first and Texas' oldest small business incubator and co-working space, First Houston Small Business Seed Capital Fund - literally the first small business seed capital fund in Houston, the Womens Business Center - first business incubator for women business owners in the country with residency space and the Virtual Business Center - the first remote business incubator in the world - all totally without public funding, grants, gifts, donations or contributions. 

Co-Op companies have won virtually every award for business growth in Houston, some nationally and some even internationally.
 
Our Entrepreneurial Research Division conclusively demonstrated "entrepreneurship" could be taught in a classroom environment, resulting in colleges and universities, globally,
commencing entrepreneurial courses.
