## Networking and problem solving

Thanks to everyone who stopped by the RI HOME SHOW this past weekend. What a great event!
And more events are on the way so get your networking shoes on and get out there!
While networking is one of the best tools to help a small business owner solve some business growth problems, there are many other problems that come up with the owning of a business (and in life for that matter!). Today’s article focuses on how to approach (and solve!) almost any problem you come across. I hope you enjoy it.

“The key to solving every problem in life is to deeply understand the root cause of the problem because its solution is often hidden in the problem itself. It is up to you to focus on the problem or on a solution.”
-Awdhesh Singh

The Mission of MOMENTUM
is to support the local small business community and entrepreneurs by encouraging them to:
ENGAGE (get out to seminars, networking and other events);
EDUCATE (commit to lifelong learning);
ENJOY (if you cannot laugh and have a little fun, then you are not doing it right!).

See you out there!
Bob

It is an event that continually evolves and grows in size! We have sold out at 100 attendees since September 2023. We count on our attendees to take turns sponsoring the event each month to provide breakfast treats and coffee for the attendees. Plant City-Providence continues to be a wonderful partner for this event, and we are so grateful to their team AND Kim Anderson for providing the space! Come and check us out…we would LOVE to meet you and help you grow your network. A HUGE THANK YOU to our April sponsors, BT Hathaway from Waveland Productions and Suzanne Caldeira from Movement Mortgage!
