Our January Expo was a great success!  Join Smart Moms, We-Care-NC and the Triangle Networking Group and Job Finders  for monthly expos with experienced people who have home based businesses and franchise opportunities. These opportunities will be showcased in an informal setting.

These opportunity fairs are designed to have a "no-pressure" feel.  You will not be beaten up or bagered to join any opportunity.  It is strictly an event for Exploration and Data Collection.   Vendors (28) who have been chosen to participate have seen significant success in building their business.  We feel confident that these vendors are experienced enough to support and coach their teams.

Men, Women, Moms, Dads, Grandmothers and Grandfathers are all welcome.  A variety of vendors will be on site.
