Meet Melisa Celikel of Networking for A**holes

Today we’d like to introduce you to Melisa Celikel.

Melisa, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
We created this monthly mastermind to give back, support, educate, inspire, motivate, and re-energize our fellow committed, no-fluff entrepreneurs in the San Diego area. We give every member an experience that’s DIFFERENT from the hundreds of other groups in this giant county of 3.3 million people. We are genuine, authentic, real, raw, and vulnerable. At each carefully planned & curated event, members take away knowledge and ideas for their business and make connections with key collaborators in the San Diego community.

We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
There is a wide array of meetup groups to choose from in San Diego. We thought long and hard about creating a group that would differentiate itself in the sea of entrepreneurial networking here in America’s Finest City.

We’d love to hear more about your business.
GRITTY INNOVATION & INSPIRATION- We act with assertive perseverance and forward-thinking innovations that are led by no-BS educational trainings meant to inspire and motivate small business owners.

A COMMUNITY OF GROWTH & LEARNING- We know that if you’re not growing, we’re dying. We are a community of risk-takers, brand builders, and humans that thrive on seeing results & progress that move the needle forward.

AGILITY IN EVOLUTION- We’re fast talkers and quick movers- we don’t dilly dally or wait around for ideas to develop. We rapidly adapt to change because we know it’s inevitable to our success as entrepreneurs.

AUTHENTICITY-You won’t find us in stuffy blazers or corny nametags. We’re real, raw, and non-sugarcoated in our approach to doing business the no-BS way. We’ll give it to you straight, no chaser.

 ​CONCISENESS- We give you a clear ROI on your time and money because we know you can’t afford to waste either. We provide value in every interaction from our email newsletter to Facebook group posts to LinkedIn articles to our live monthly workshops with amazing speakers.

 ​CONNECTION- We want you to build connections that last with people who truly care. We only attract the type of business owners that we know you’ll vibe with. We repel scammers, schemers, and snake oil salesmen. Our referral network is vast and our aim is to get you in front of the right people to help move you forward.
