On Thursday April 9, 2015 we gathered once again at my 1920 historic yet modern wedding and event venue NOVA 535 Unique Event Space, here in beautiful downtown St. Petersburg, Florida. Last Thursday April 2nd we took a break from the productive meeting side of the Entrepreneur Social Club, affectionately called the ESC, to enjoy a birthday party in honor of NOVA 535 which turned a lucky 7, myself turning 47 and my longtime pal Mario turned the big 50. We’ve been meeting weekly since 2009, to learn, laugh, listen, help, party, share, grow ourselves and our businesses, all while helping those around us AND avoiding religion and politics, which are both strictly forbidden by club rules.  See that’s why even when we argue, we still get along. Genius!

A new member suggested we try SAZON for dinner, which about 10 of us did, and wow was the Spanish food delicious! We’ll definitely be back for more.

The ESC is my gift to the community and the meetings are free to attend. NOVA 535 has bills to pay, and does so by hosting world-class wedding and events. (My pitch =D) So it’s up to me, Michael S. Novilla, the founder and leader of the ESC, to find another location. Sheri Kendrick, owner of  (more…)

The Entrepreneur Social Club meeting just ended, now what?

Michael Scott Novilla Leave a comment

Every Thursday at the gorgeous St. Pete venue NOVA 535, the Entrepreneur Social Club meeting begins at 6 pm.  This meeting is part drinking, part socializing and networking, part helping and mentoring, part teaching and sharing, part pitching and selling, part laughing and goofing around, part making new friends and business connections, and part realizing that we, as positive creative ‘can-do’ people, must be the evolutionary change the world so desperately needs. So by 8 pm-ish, we’ve worked up quite an appetite, and most of the group sticks together to dine and continue to enjoy the entrepreneurial creative ‘bubble’ that we’ve formed over the last few hours. During dinner, new real friendships take hold, business ideas and plans are discussed, deals are made and creative dreams are born, and lots of joking, laughter, drinking and fun is had.
