Your Products, Services or Dream

In a few short days or weeks, I will be ready to launch my eco-consulting services, for which I would happily offer, say, a 25% discount to fellow LRBN members. I'm also available to help out around the yard or garden, including assisting with a permaculture design. And now that my hardware is functioning again I'd be delighted to accept commissions for custom music mixes, playlists for parties, that sort of thing. On a related note, I do have some experience setting up home entertainment systems and could certainly take a stab at yours for cheap in my considerable free time.

Barter-friendly?

Super-. Also down with timebanking, YouMe's and other alternative currencies, and doing things free for worthy causes.

Ultimate Success is?

Having built up my consulting practice within the Green Irene structure, I've been able to expand my services to include my permaculture design services, under the heading of Grow Yer Own Groceries. I suppose it goes without saying that I'm growing all my own produce and medicinal herbs, brewing my own beer from the wild grains in my backmeadow, and making my money-free living helping other people with their own self-sufficiency projects. Meanwhile I'm active in the Chattahoochee Watershed Bioregional Office, which has taken over all the legitimate functions of the former, illegitimate government within the greater Atlantis area.

You'd like to gain what from LRBN members?

Some business sense, a degree of comfort with self-promotion, and lots of contacts with cool people who are into good wholesome things I can feel comfortable recommending to my clients. Not to mention the good times themselves, which are of course worth having for their own sake.

What are your top three most important goals in the next year?

Networking, Business Exposure & Publicity, Mentorship
