"October 29, 1990 seems like only yesterday. That’s how fast the almost 15 years have passed since joining LeTip of Mission Viejo. Over the years since I became a member of LeTip MV, I have had the privilege to become friends with a multitude of wonderful professionals who are members of this club. Concurrently, many of the members have become clients of mine and I have used and recommended their services. 

The energy level at 7:01am each Thursday is symptomatic of the camaraderie that members show each other.  While I have witnessed a certain turnover of members throughout the years, I have concluded that one needs to give the club at least a year to begin working. During that time, you need to advertise your services via the club mantra “here’s how best to tip me.” That message needs to be told to each and every member on Thursdays, during breakfast bunch, lunch bunch or during your opportunities as greeter, showboater and speaker.

Finally, remember LeTip is a voluntary organization. The people who have taken a leadership role do so on their  own time and expense. Show respect for them and let them know. I am very honored to a part of this club.  And its been fun too!"

"I have been a member of LeTip, Mission Viejo, since November of 2002.  I had just turned professional that summer and was struggling to get a business plan together. Learning the craft of photography is one thing, learning to make it into a viable business is another. While on a business trip to Seattle, a friend of mine and a member of LeTip called and invited me to attend a meeting. He knew I was starting a business and felt that "a business networking group" would help me expand my business.

Well, he was right. Without LeTip I don't think I could have stayed on track with my sales and income projections. Learning to promote myself in a quick and effective way helped me make good impressions with people I knew would be good customers. That is only one of the many powerful lessons you can learn from LeTip. The contacts and referrals from fellow members is of course the backbone of LeTip, but learning to be an effective salesperson of yourself and your business is the other. Today my business is growing steadily and a main ingredient of my marketing plan is LeTip."

It has furnished me with many individuals who have supplied numerous services for not only our clients and friends, but also for Linda and I personally. On the other side of the street, it has helped to further grow our business and significantly increase our income. Both present and past LeTip members continue to use our services.   Linda and I can ony say  "thank you" for letting us be part of such a fantastic organization."
