Happy anniversary to Dwight Hawks and Beverly! 18 years together on November 1.

We got a double feature this morning! Big thanks to Rosh Sillars with Rosh Media for his presentation too.

The slide that got me was about budget. Say you've got $2,000 worth of SEO work to do. At $200 a month, it takes 10 months to get it all done. At $2,000 a month, it's done in one. You spend the exact same money either way, you just get there a whole lot faster. Results still take time to build, but you're not waiting most of a year for the work itself to happen.

Rosh handles Google SEO, pay per click, and YouTube advertising. He also partners with social media companies, small marketing agencies, website designers, PR firms, and business coaches. So if you know someone in that world who needs a go-to person for the search side, Rosh is a great connection.

Great feature presentation this morning from Dr. Bryan Born with Painless Chiropractor!

35 years in practice. That alone says a lot. What I liked most is that he didn't just talk about what he does. He showed us the people he's helped.

First was Aaron, a 41-year-old former pitcher for the Seattle Mariners. After back surgery he figured he'd be dealing with pain for the rest of his life. He'd tried chiropractors before and didn't think anything would help. Now that post-surgical back pain is behind him.

Then a photographer with a partially torn rotator cuff that was keeping her from working. Dr. Bryan found nerve issues coming from her neck, used gentle instrument adjusting along with low-level laser therapy, and within a couple weeks she was back doing full shoots without shoulder pain.

And my favorite, the G family. Both kids were colicky as babies and got their first gentle adjustment just weeks after birth. He's been with them ever since, through bike falls, broken elbows in soccer, dad's old Achilles injury that kept throwing his back out, and mom's scoliosis. Now one's a high school soccer player and the other does jazz dance. Whole family, all these years.

No cracking, no twisting. If you know someone who's scared of the chiropractor, dealing with nagging pain, or recovering from surgery, send them to Dr. Bryan.

Thanks Dr. Bryan, great job!

Big welcome to our newest GRO member, Tarryn King with 4-15 Tax & Bookkeeping!

Tarryn took the oath this morning and it's official. And honestly, the timing couldn't be better. Tax season will be here before we know it, and the year-end scramble is real for a lot of small business owners.

If you know someone who's behind on their books, dreading tax time, or just tired of doing it all themselves, send them Tarryn's way.

Welcome aboard, Tarryn. Glad to have you in the room!

Great feature presentation this morning from Angel Phillips with ServiceMaster by Wise!

One thing that stuck with me. A sump pump failure might only carry $5,000 to $10,000 in coverage. But a flooded finished basement can easily run $5,000 to $50,000+ once you add up the flooring, drywall, trim, cabinets, and furniture. Most people have no idea until it's too late.

That's where Angel comes in. Her team shows up, assesses the damage, documents everything, and walks people through their options and the costs before they file a claim. They'll even do a free inspection so you can make a smart decision instead of a panicked one.

They handle water damage, fire and smoke, mold, odor, biohazards, hoarding, pack outs, full reconstruction, and commercial losses too. And they're right here in Warren.

If you know a homeowner dealing with a basement leak, a real estate client who just found water damage, or a friend who has no clue what their policy covers, connect them with Angel.

Thanks Angel, great job up there!

Here's one for the group:

Big welcome to our newest GRO member, David Fox with Soltman Heating & Cooling!

David took the oath this morning and made it official. Perfect timing too, with Michigan weather about to turn cold.

If you know anyone who needs a furnace checked before winter, a new AC system, or just a heating and cooling guy they can trust, David's your guy. Let's show him what this chapter is all about and get some referrals headed his way.

Welcome aboard, David. Glad to have you in the room. 🔥

Keith Baldwin of Regal Payments for one of today's feature presentation.

If you own a business and any of this sounds familiar, Keith is your guy:

- "These credit card fees are killing my profit."
- "My deposits are always delayed."
- "Their customer service is terrible."
- "They raised my rates without telling me."
- "I want to take online payments but don't know where to start."

He helps businesses cut through the nonsense on payment processing and actually understand what they're paying each month. Local guy, picks up the phone.

Quick networking tip for everyone.

When you see someone in a residents group asking for a service, and one of our BNI members does that work, drop a comment sharing your experience with them. A real recommendation from a fellow member beats any ad. It puts our people right in front of someone who is already looking for help.

One comment can send them business for months.
