Ready, Set, GROA!
GIVING is RECEIVING!

Since GMS was set in motion over 7 years ago, we have seen many businesses come and go.  We have also seen
many businesses continuously grow and enjoy success year after year through good times and bad.  Success is rarely
easy and takes a lot of hard work, dedication and consistency. 

However, one of the benefits of our experience has been interacting with hundreds of small business owners and
witnessing first hand what works best and what pitfalls to avoid.  If we can pass any of this information on to you, we will. 
As time goes by, GMS is has accumulated vital real life experiences that we will share with you. 

The Network's knowledge base is a huge resource and if we listen to one another and work together we can all benefit.

One characteristic we find that  consistently promotes success is relationship building.  Business owners that reach out
and shake hands will most likely get a hand shake back.  On the other hand, business owners that don't reach out
can run into difficulty.  The reason?   People like doing business and referring business to those they like, trust, and have
established relationships with.  This is why "Have You Used a GMS Member Lately?" is a great question!

In GMS, your experience is multilplied a few hundred times when you let The Network know that you are not just getting
business, but generating business by utilizing others.  Promote your business by giving and sharing!  It works!  Try it! 

CONGRATULATIONS Karen Dempsey!
$500 winner!

GMS MEMBERSHIP RATE INCREASE?
Is the rumor true?

Yes.. It is True.  Starting March 1st
GMS Membership will increase to $49.95 per month.

Costs continue to increase in the world around us, yet we have not had a rate increase in 4 years. 
Since 2003, The Network has doubled in size and we have held off raising rates as long as possible.

Good News! 
YOUR membership rate will NOT change! 
GMS will never raise membership rates on existing members.  PERIOD.  It's been our promise since 1999!
  Membership rates over time will go up, but YOURS will not!  Just another way in which we say "Thank You!"

In addition, any business that joins in February will enjoy the current membership rate.
