Akron Business Network

"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go with others." - African Proverb

Calling all Entrepreneurs, Business Owners and those who dream of running their own venture!

If you desire to expand your business network, make more friends, find new customers and become a leader in your community, we have a fun and informal social networking group that is just right for you.

<br>

We'll have monthly meetings at coffee shops or neighbourhood bars in and around town to connect with others & learn "best practice" sales, marketing, finance and time management tactics and strategies from your city’s top entrepreneurs.

<br>MOST EVENTS ARE FREE AND ALL BUSINESS OWNERS & MANAGERS ARE WELCOME

<br>• No attendance commitment required. <br>• You can arrive and leave on your schedule. <br>• No elevator pitches in front of the group required. <br>• Informal bar/restaurant meetings in the evenings. <br>• Most meetups are between Tuesdays & Thursdays. <br>• No long sit down meals next to strangers.

<br>

Our mission is to encourage business success by recruiting small business owners to give group talks to their peers, potential customers and suppliers and new entrepreneurs to share their expertise and offer words of support and encouragement to their community. <br>

<br>

We are also known as a "Pay it Forward" group. You might find your ideal client/customer here in your first meetup but it's more likely you will meet someone who can benefit from goods & services offered by your friends.

By networking to help other business owners and recommending products or services by other members, the benefits of increased sales accumulate to everyone in the group.

We must keep our members feeling and being safe at our events.*** **5.** **If you are blocked or banned, that's it. Members must accept and respect any organizer’s decision to ban a member from a group, or a member's decision to block a member from contacting them.

Many of our members are signing up for events and not showing up or signing off at the last minute. This is unacceptable, rude and inconsiderate to other members who would like to attend events and cannot because of people who take up spots then, do not bother to come. Therefore, if you do not want to be an active member of this group we welcome you do drop out as soon as possible. Because of this trend in Attendance we are adopting the following new policies: 1\. We will be taking ATTENDANCE at all the indoor events\. \(venues need to know how many people to expect for staffing\)\. 2\. We will send out one reminder before the upcoming event so you have plenty of time to change your RSVP if needed\. 3\. Three No Shows and you will be REMOVED from our group\. \(We understand emergencies arise\, please let Organizers know through private message if you are unable to attend\)\. You will not be contacted with any warnings prior to being removed \- you will simply be removed after no\-show \#3\. 4\. Sign up for an EVENT\, ONLY if you intend to come\. 5\. We suggest you put the events you want to attend with NEO 55 & Over Social Singles Meet up group on your calendars so you do not forget\. \*\*\*The NEO 55 & Over Social Singles Meet up Leadership Team puts a lot of time and effort into planning these events for you and would appreciate your understanding, cooperation and gratitude.\*\*\* \*\*\*We hope to see you all at future events! More fun to come!\*\*\* Thank you, Mary - Organizer Ginny - Co-Organizer | | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | * * * * [https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/spon...](https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/sponsor/4/9/8/8/iab120x90_2718824.jpeg)

Greater Social Life Union of Akron

Akron, OH

Greater Social Life Union of Akron

The Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

There are many steps on your journey to greater social life. Here are the first steps for members of GSLU. After reading the rest of this introduction, you should read the 2021 book The Guide to Thumoslang. Many of our members put this new knowledge into practice as suggested by The GSLU Handbook.

When you spend more time in damage control mode and less time benefiting from your various relations, you waste a great deal of effort in your social life. Such a cost of opportunity keeps you from going at high speed towards your ideals, in creating your ideal self, and in actualizing what you truly want to become. This is likely due to a lack of social clarity, which is essential for internal conversations and vital for meaningful relationships.

Unintentionally created in 2017, accidentally discovered in 2018, and first taught in 2019, Thumoslang is the nomenclature for social clarity. It is used as a language for faster communication, be it in complex collaboration or difficult conversation. The first widespread use of social clarity has been predicted by Thumoslang pioneers to be just as important as the first widespread control of fire. All is explained by The Guide to Thumoslang, which is backed by The Dictionary of Thumoslang.

Again, the Thumoslang Network is an association of groups whose members use Thumoslang, the nomenclature for social clarity, as their basic strategy for greater social life. Part of the network is the Greater Social Life Union (GSLU). Its mission is long-lasting joy for its members through faster actualization of their personal ideals.

Your ideals are the same as your ideal self, which means what you truly want to become. "Everything else is secondary," said Steve Jobs. Our group activities involve you with the first practical steps in the further development of your ideals, in keeping others from interfering with your life, and in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals. To be sure, if you lack social clarity in your internal conversations, face unwanted drama too often, are not sure of your social life or your path into the future, or have no friends and no groups available on a regular basis to help create your ideal self, this group is for you.

*** MEMBERSHIP BENEFITS ***

Our group activities bring you the following benefits:

Benefit 1 - Mastery of Relationships

As new GSLU members participate in the union's activities, they will quickly find themselves having noticeable enhancements in their social lives. The further they participate in GSLU activities, the faster they naturally acquire the mastery of relationships.

Benefit 2 - Best Friends for Your Ideals

Our group activities include practical steps in building a group of in-person friends who keep on encouraging you and nurturing your ideals.

Benefit 3 - Internal Dialogues More Effective

Thumoslang is a set of terminology whose use is intended to benefit one's clarity in social situations. Consequently, Thumoslang allows you to have clearer communication with yourself in your mind.

Benefit 4 - Meaningful Relationships Much Stronger

Our members use Thumoslang to mend or strengthen their existing relationships, build new relations, and achieve greater social life.

Benefit 5 - Faster Actualization of Your Ideals

The actualization of your ideals goes faster when it regularly involves your best group, which is the small group of in-person, second-mind friends who are the best for the nurturing of your ideals. Our activities help you speed up the actualization of your ideals by reducing social roadblocks and increasing social shortcuts in your life.

Akron/Canton Geeks & Nerds

Green, OH

Akron/Canton Geeks & Nerds
\*\*\*\*\*\*IMPORTANT\*\*\*\*\*\* Hello all, Here's some information about the group from Vanessa and me. Starting now, since it's the beginning of this month, we will expect cancelations to be done in a more timely manner. This obviously depends on the type of event this is. If it is a Special type event, we need you to cancel at least 12 hours prior to the event. If it is an event that is more casual, you need to cancel 2 hours before the event. We definitely understand life happens and there may be times where you are unable to come, even if it's last minute. However, we have been receiving a lot of cancelations due to trivial reasons (didn't feel like, etc.). Most importantly, if you don't plan on going and know it, please have the courtesy to cancel rather than no show. It's disrespectful to the event hosts. The reason for all of this is due to several past events where the hosts took time to plan the event and contact the location to expect a large group. A recent event saw 6 out of 21 people attend, with 13 cancelations and 2 no shows. This makes our hosts look bad and unreliable and negatively impacts the place that may call in extra staff, etc. And it discourages hosts from planning fun things to do. We want this group to be successful and a place to meet new friends. If you cancel a special event after the time limit, you will be given a strike.  If you do this 3 times, you will be removed from the group and you can rejoin again in 3 months. No showing ANY event is a strike. Again. 3 strikes and you're out. You can rejoin in 3 months. If there are concerns and questions, please message either myself or Vanessa. Hope to see you all at future events! We do enjoy hosting and meeting our group members. \- Ruth and Vanessa If you like science AND/OR science fiction - this is the group for you! Calling all geeks and nerds in the Canton/Akron area... we're looking for you to participate in fun adventures of the geeky and nerdy variety. Everything ranging from star-gazing parties, boardgames, trivia nights, conventions, scavenger hunts, museums, movie watching, coffee and conversation, dinners out, and more!" You must have a recent profile picture of yourself so we can easily identify at events.
