Staying Home and Connecting Virtually
May 2020 Issue
Greetings!

Over the last almost two months, we as a community have had to change, adapt and rethink our lives and our businesses. We have stayed home and learned how to connect virtually, still nurturing our connections and relationships with family and our customers/clients. It has been amazing to see and hear how everyone has adapted during these unprecedented times.

Moving forward as some businesses start to head back to work we need to keep connecting and supporting each other. Our businesses will look and run differently with the new guidelines in place. We look forward to moving forward by staying home and connecting virtually with our fellow business owners. Subscribe to the new Uxbridge Networking Group YouTube channel and watch videos of UNG members' updating us on what they are doing with their business and how their families are coping during this time.

Join us on Friday May 8th for the Uxbridge Networking Group virtual lunch meeting, or attend one the sessions in our new bi-weekly event series "Voice your concern, or offer a solution!".

United Networks for Growth
Personally, after establishing and running the local networking group for 22 years, I am taking a giant leap using my 30 years of entrepreneurial experience to start a new global business community called United Networks for Growth.

The goal is to connect entrepreneurs with experts, business centers and business networks in the areas of health, wealth, personal growth, and business development. Thus, the launch of the 4 Pillars of Entrepreneurship virtual summit in February was the first initiative that United Networks for Growth has taken to connect entrepreneurs with experts.

The Uxbridge Networking Group will continue to serve the needs of local businesses in the coming years. On the other hand, the United Networks for Growth will be a continuously expanding web of connection that offers individualized programs to promote holistic entrepreneurship.
