any entrepreneurs interested to join an invite only entrepreneur group??

    Hey guys - I can do with some help. I run a closed entrepreneur's forum. Normally members nominate other people in, because the group is by invite only. It's only been up for a few weeks but we already have over 600 posts and 40+ great members.

    The group is essentially a group of experts from various fields helping each other out in business and life. we got bankers, lawyers, doctors, internet marketers, accountants, traders... we can also help each other connect and network.

    I'm always on the lookout for new members and we're a bit off balance right now in the male: female ratio! So I'm opening doors to look outside our immediate circles. But we're looking for people that fit a certain profile, and also people who will contribute (and you will gain bounds in return for this)

    If you're interested to join drop me a PM or reply here.

    Also at the moment we'd be interested in some skilled web developers and designers / coders. If you fit this profile (which I imagine many do) pls drop me a msg!

    cheers!

    ps please don't think i'm trying to sell anything! the site is completely free!

    That's a great idea! I'd be interested in seeing it.

    Although the invite-only thing can get pretty annoying to new members. Why not make it open to everyone?

    I might be interested if you send me the URL. I can't say whether it's something I'd participate in without seeing it first. I'm not sure what your "profile" is actually, but I run a small PR firm, run several websites and blogs, and am a freelance business writer on the side. If I fit your profile, drop me a PM with the URL.

    hey guys

    very sorry it annoyed anyone by saying it's invite only! it's not intended to be a 'snobby network' of any kind! but yes, we keep membership to very low numbers and keep membership standards as high as we could :) so i'm sorry if i couldn't get everyone in as i've delegated membership confirmation over to 'gatekeepers' and can only provisionally activate your accounts.

    i'm not aiming to make money out of the site as much as creating a network of VERY useful network of experts who do help each other out (therefore every member should be a contributor and meet a certain criteria), and we audit the site to make sure membership is kept to a high level.

    What we have in common, is that we all want to create successful business ventures and live the '4 hour work week lifestyle'. We therefore aim to share great ideas with each other, and to help each other out in our ventures. It's essentially a group of experts in various fields, all people that clearly will succeed in life. Some of us are just starting up new ventures, some already making 50k-300k per year.

    We are not too concerned about posting about our ideas and plans and asking for advice and worrying that 1000 other people might steal them etc. and we will help each other out in our lives, meet up in real life, etc. so I expect new members to be willing to do as the others do - post a profile pic of themselves, write an intro in detail of their background and experiences etc.

    So anyway I'll PM all those of you who have responded, but please don't hesitate to PM me if you're interested with some info on your background. I've already received a few interesting PMs from you guys.. it's amazing how diverse we are on here!

    cheers!

    I'm a coder, a marketer, and I'm interested.
    That is, if you don't mind someone from the slightly shady side (shady makes the money though:))
