CA is big. However, i dont know about everyone else, but i end up in northern and southern all the time. About once a month or maybe like once every 6 weeks when i lived in northern i would make a trip south. So even if we got 2 groups going, we might still be able to have an entire CA meeting once a year, or people and visit back and forth. That is if northern and souther Californians can get along lol

Interested in participating in a group.

I'm in LA as well (live in Brentwood, work in Santa Monica). If anyone here from LA wants to grab coffee sometime on the Westside shoot me an e-mail at jon at learnoutloud dot com and tell me a little bit about yourself (e.g., what you do, what you're passionate about, etc.). I'd love to connect with other Pavlina fans!

Here's a little about me:

The founder of LearnOutLoud, Jon Bischke, has a successful entrepreneurial track record. Mr. Bischke previously founded the 2000Tutor.com Network (currently CertTutor.net), a collection of websites that assisted individuals seeking Microsoft and Cisco certification. The company had a successful exit when it was acquired in 2001 by Penton Media, a public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. As part of its parent company the network continued to grow and currently serves the needs of over 115,000 technology professionals. More recently, Mr. Bischke received his Masters in Business Administration from the UCLA Anderson School of Management and served as the President of Zaadz, Inc., a Los Angeles-based social networking company.

Hey all,

I'm in Los Angeles (studying at UCLA until December).

[copla]

Wow, lots of folks from LA here.

I'm originally from Redmond, WA, but moved down to San Diego to attend SDSU, though I'm going to be dropping out sometime in the next 2-3 weeks. I'm going to stay in San Diego once I do, get a nice apartment on the bay, have all the more time to read, meet people, pursue personal development, all that good stuff! Not to completely crib from my post in the college student thread, but if anyone's interested in grabbing lunch and chatting about personal development, life philosophy, random books, or how awesome Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip is, hit me up!

Thanks!

I grew up in SoCal, and have lived in the SF Bay Area for over 20 years.

The LA area is much more crowded than it was when I was growing up, and I would never move back, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate many things about it.

SF is one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and I love it here. It's quirky and we have our eccentrics, but the quality of life here is very high, just like the cost of living.

I'm in LA too, Silverlake to be specific. I'd love to meet up with you guys in person!

[starlet]

In San Diego, but will be up in the Los Angeles area sometime this year most likely.

Hi,

I am from Pasadena specifically...and would be really interested in a group. I am new here, but am reading daily and already feeling like I have found a wealth of good people, information and insight.

Thank you
Mary

hi all - i used to live in socal several yrs ago but know no one there anylonger and need to move near sea again. is it fairly easy to get roomates (at first till acclimated) then own place? i'm using LOA to direct me to right ppl/place in CA. thx...

[cbreeze]

LOA is allways essential tool, however, cutting to chase, i'm a divorced 4o's F and feel the need to move to California - don't know where nor anyone. Comments if any? thx

[NotesMaeve]

Sacramento here. If you ever see the sassy chick who acts so positive you wonder if she has a coke problem (although she does not ) that's me!

[Journeyman]

I'm living in So Cal near LA.

[oberlee]

Hi there. I live in Oakland, and if there's any sort of Bay Area thing going on, would love to hear about it!

cbreeze, I know a LOT of people who move to the Bay Area after life changes, especially divorces, or if they're older, loss of a spouse. (I moved here after college.) I think you'd really like it. Well, I don't because I don't know you, but San Francisco is a FANTASTIC city. I live in the East Bay, and I think Berkeley or certain parts of Oakland would be really exciting, too. Depends on if you want urban, suburban, or something more natural, like Mendocino, Napa, Marin, etc. But the Bay Area in general is a good place to look. Can't speak for So. Cal.

[NotesMaeve]

A Bay Area meetup would be cool! Not too far from me!

[blheywood]

I'm here in Orange County, California. La Habra is the residence and Santa Ana is the job.

[Earful]

Sacramento here too....

Hey Andrew,

I live in Bakersfield too. Born and raised in Wasco but have lived here for the past 7 years.

[LikeTheRazor]

I am in the California Bay Area, looking to make some new friends. We should do a meet up.

[nextlevelandbeyond]

I am in Temecula, California, and I have found a group of like minded people at Next Level 4 Success. It has been my launching pad and now I am part of a group of people with the same intentions. I am looking forward to meeting more people!

[andrew]

Alright, so I just moved to the Laguna/Mission Viejo area in socal.

Anybody down here interested?
