The group visited BBZ Limousine for a tour of their facility
Peer group facilitator Driving Results is excited to announce the start of the 2023 season for their Spinning Wheels group. Kicking off their meeting season in New Jersey on April 19-21, Spinning Wheels welcomed guest speaker Ken Lucci of Driving Transactions and included a bus tour of New York City and a stop at BBZ Limousine in Bergenfield, N.J., for a tour of their operations.
The Spinning Wheels group meets three times per year for three days to work on business strategies, forecasting, finances, employee training and hiring, and preparing for buying, selling, or borrowing. Discussions include hiring, salary percentages, vehicle usage and purchasing, marketing, outside-the-box ideas, and the newest, most important topic—remote workers. The members are owners or general managers who exercise the knowledge of running their company's day-to-day business.

In addition to 14 returning members, the group has added six members for this year, including a new international member from London, Mo Aziz of Montclares International. Managing Partner Arthur Messina, who created the group in 2012, is now co-running the groups with Group Logistic Coordinator Kathleen Messina.
Additionally, the Spinning Wheels group is also excited to welcome sponsors who are dedicated to helping educate the members on how their products or services can improve their businesses. According to the Messinas, these sponsors provide valuable insights and expertise to the group, further enhancing the learning and networking opportunities for all members.
