Thanks Steph. My next MOOB meeting is this Friday in Kentucky and I am juiced up and ready to share once more. I know we have often discussed setting up a MOOB network some day and arranging conferences for the different chapters to meet etc. I guess it is a topic for another article some day.

I hope you are able to develop a MOOB for your purposes. You will prosper in it’s value.

Simple. They’re not members. Competition is essentially a mindset isn’t it? There is enough business for everyone. Because of the web, even our members which are 4-5 hours away from each other are still competitors. BUT, we choose to be allies rather than enemies. It’s been a good fit.

I can assure you, that there are like minded people in your neck of the woods.

The concept of a group sounds great but, what do you do about trade secrets and jealous members.

I live in New York where practically everyone is trying to out do the other guy. This is shameful but that’s the way it is. What do you use to eliminate jealous members.

Good point Audrey. I laughed when I read your comment. As you can see it was very late (2:38 am). The fingers, eyes and brain were obviously at odds with each other.

I think my comment sounds like a Viking giving an opinion on MOOBs.

Thanks for taking the time.

As to me the fist question should be the wish to start a new group and only then you have to think about what is writing here

This is a great tip for me. I am putting it in my kitty as one of the objectives I am to work on immediately.
You really got me with the No 4 point. Being an introvert, I’ve always found it difficult bearing it all open in the presence of others. But like you pointed out, it is hard to succeed as an island.
Thanks for sharing.

Great post Ed, it’s a wonderful outline for anyone looking to start a similiar group for themselves. I like #8 best, you don’t need anyone who is not productive or contributing to your group.
