I would like to thank Stacy Benda of Apollonian Accounting and Business Services, for thinking of me when a Needs & Deals came through the All Cities email blast recently (which for some reason didn't make it to my in-box that day). It was from fellow AC member Jay McDowell of Exit Plan OC, who had a client in need of an SBA working capital loan. Stacy, thanks so much for emailing Jay and me! This is the beauty of All Cities. You always have an extra set of eyes and ears looking out for you!

Thank you, Carrie, for presenting at the Women's Group today. Carrie talked about how to read a financial statement, trends to watch, and how to use this information to improve your business. The group was so interested that we went beyond the allotted time. Great talk!

I would like to thank Eddie Levin for a great job finding home insurance for a friend and neighbor when her existing carrier was no longer offering coverage. Eddie also recently helped our daughter and her husband with home insurance when they purchased a new home. Eddie is very responsive and finds his clients the best options.

As an author of 9 books, Sumant was able to offer valuable advice on publishing in today's marketplace. Thank you, Sumant.

Just when I thought I was getting good at videos... along comes Bob Chesney. Bob has helped me with some recent productions and we are presently working on a new series of authentic Client Endorsements for 2022. Thank you, Bob. Looking forward to our next video together!

Thanks again to Chris Lake! Chris sent me a referral who has become a client. Great way to start the new year!

Julie Widener of Allegent Group, LLP, a Certified Public Accountants and Advisor firm referred a client to me that required a partial interest discount in an LLC holding an apartment complex. I very much appreciate it. Thank you Julie!

I had the pleasure of connecting with Rhonda as we prepared for her to be a guest speaker at the DT Santa Monica meeting in November, as well as my regional branch managers' meeting. Rhonda was gracious enough to spend a few minutes with me during a phone call to briefly look through my LinkedIn profile and give me her professional opinion and a few pointers on how I can improve my presence and image on LinkedIn. I must say...I was blown away with her expertise and innovative ideas and I made several changes she recommended. Almost instantly I started to receive more relevant connection requests and even a few leads from my network. I highly recommend anyone who is on LinkedIn to consult with Rhonda and let her do a quick audit of your profile and indulge in her expertise in helping you leverage LinkedIn to increase your presence and gain more business. Thank you Rhonda!!

Thank you, Chris, for taking care of our clients. Chris is preparing a Research and Development credit for an entertainment client. They qualify based on their research in sound. Their credit is approximately $25k. Chris really knows her business!

Thank you to Michael Perlmutter for his valuation expertise. He is working quickly and professionally on a discounted valuation for a 100 unit apartment building in Los Angeles. Most people in his industry are back logged a few months.
