- So one thing I didn't expect
when I became an entrepreneur
was just how lonely being
an entrepreneur can be.
And, it can get really lonely.
(hand taps)
Choo choo choo.
Choo choo choo choo choo choo.
So although you can connect
on places like social media
or even in person at conferences,
I was still craving that
in-person human to human interaction.
Which is why myself and a
few other entrepreneurs here
in San Diego, we created a little group
called the San Diego Entrepreneurs Group.
You can see and behind there
we're about to get ready
with one of our meetings
and it's super casual,
just kind of randomly came together
and it's become a usual thing
and we see some usual
faces every single month,
we see some new faces, it's
become a really cool thing
and something I've been looking forward
to every single month.
So, let's meet some of the people.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, I'm Laura Petersen, or Laptop Laura,
founder of Copy That Pops,
and I love being a part of
the SD Entrepreneurs Group
because we meet every
month, and just connect
and network and bounce around ideas.
Being an entrepreneur can
be so lonely sometimes
so it's great to be around
people who just get you.
- I'm Flavia Berys, I am
the Lawyer in Flip Flops,
you can find me at lawyerinflipflops.com
I get so much inspiration out of it.
Every time I walk out of here,
I have like a hundred new ideas
and I can usually execute maybe on 10%,
but 10 new executable ideas
is still an amazing thing.
- I'm Jennifer J. Sullins, I'm an artist,
and you can find me at
jenniferjsullins.com.
I just finally feel like I
found like-minded entrepreneurs
that have the same struggles.
- Because of their glad family,
then actually say, "Oh,
we're actually closing in--"
(multiple people talking)
- My name is Braden
Drake and you can find me
at CreativepreneurConsulting on Instagram.
And, beautiful weather and awesome people.
- My name's Ann Marie
Rose, and you can find me
at AskAnnMarieRose on Instagram,
or annmarierose.com,
and I love being an SD Entrepreneur
because this is just an amazing community
of really smart, awesome people.
- Hi, I'm Satya Mallick,
and you can find me
at learnopencv.com.
It is a website for AI enthusiasts
and I love coming here
because it's a amazing group
of entrepreneurs and I actually got
into online business after
learning about Pat Flynn, so--
- Cool, so that's it.
We spend about a couple hours together,
we network, we have fun,
we get to meet new people, it's awesome.
I hope you enjoyed watching this video.
A big shout out to WeWork, by the way,
for allowing us to host
this here in San Diego.
These guys are amazing.
If you don't yet know what WeWork is,
it's an amazing co-working space
that's in several locations around the US.
It's not paid to say this,
I just wanna say it cause they're awesome.
So, thank you WeWork.
Alright guys, I'll see ya later.
- [Guys] See ya.
- But thanks again for watching the video.
Now you might be wondering
how you might be able
to get involved, involved,
involved with this particular group.
All you have to do is go to
SDEntrepreneursGroup.com.
The latest meeting is always pinned
at the top of that Facebook group.
It's usually the first
Wednesday of every month,
but not always, so make
sure you check it out there.
One more time, SDEntrepreneursGroup.com.
Thank you so much and, by the way,
if you're in your area
and you're feeling a little
lonely as an entrepreneur,
why don't you set up one of
these groups of your own?
You could use a tool like meetup.com
or if you have a network,
just go ahead and get started
and have people share it around,
it becomes an amazing resource
for you and for everybody else.
