About Us

The Always Doing Business Chapter

We're a close-knit group of business professionals who believe in the power of relationships — not just transactions. Our mission is simple: grow our businesses by helping each other succeed through qualified referrals, collaboration, and community.

But what makes Always Doing Business truly special is the connection we’ve built over the years. We're more than just a networking group — we're trusted allies, friends, and supporters in both business and life.

Together, we’ve been able to:

✅ Pass thousands of dollars in warm referrals

✅ Support each other through wins, setbacks, and big moves

✅ Build friendships that extend far beyond the weekly meetings

Testimonials

"Getting to know and meeting every week with the AmSpirit Always Doing Business Chapter Members has allowed me to get to know and trust a varied group of entrepreneurs who I am comfortable referring to my clients. It also has provided me with an unofficial Board of Advisors with whom I can discuss my own business issues, and to whom I can share my business experiences."

Anthony H. | Law Offices of Anthony R. Hofeld, P.C.

"As a member of this AmSpirit Chapter, I have created relationships that have enriched and have been instrumental in growing my business. I now have a group of professional partners, and people I consider friends, to help my clients as well as assisting with their referrals to me as well."

Frank L. | Main Line Benefits Agency

"When we first joined the Always Doing Business Chapter, Stargaze was just getting off the ground. We had no case studies, limited experience, and very little credibility. Looking back, I can confidently say that our AmSpirit group played a huge role in getting us to where we are today. The support, guidance, and encouragement we received from the chapter helped us push through those early challenges and truly launched our agency. Now, we're serving multiple clients and generating leads consistently — and best of all, Kevin and I have a trusted network of experienced entrepreneurs we can turn to whenever we need advice or perspective."

Alex Y. and Kevin Z. | Stargaze X LLC

"Being a part of the AmSpirit Always Doing Business Chapter has redefined my business journey. Having navigated 28 years in business through both prosperous and challenging times, I can confidently say that the relationships and support I found here saved my business, fueled its growth, and enriched my personal development. Growing with AmSpirit is the best business decision I have ever made. It outshines any other process or tool to grow your business."

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be a member to attend?

Nope! This event is open to all professionals — whether you're just exploring or already part of a networking group.

Is there a cost to attend?

It’s completely free. Just RSVP, show up, and be ready to make some great connections. Light refreshments are on us.

What should I bring?

Bring some business cards, a positive attitude, and maybe a notebook — you never know who you’ll meet or what ideas you’ll walk away with.

Will there be a presentation or is it casual networking?

A little of both. You'll have time to mix and mingle, and you’ll also get a brief intro to how our chapter works and how we pass referrals each week.

Can I join the chapter at the event?

We’d love to talk about it! If your industry category is still open and it feels like a good fit on both sides, we can walk you through the next steps.

What if my category is already filled?

You’re still more than welcome to attend and connect with the group. There may be future opportunities — and great referrals can happen regardless!
