MenuCan anyone suggest alternative applications that provides remote desktop access from a Windows computer to a Mac?
My client is working with a customer and providing some remote receptionist services for them.. She needs to log on remotely to his MAC Computer to access his scheduling and appointment software. I'm a windows user and used to RDP (Remote Desktop). Any suggestions for a MAC alternative to connect to a MAC from a PC?

Teamviewer works across both platforms and is very simple and secure to setup and use.
LogMeIn is the easiest that I have ever seen. BTW, why not just use the Microsoft RDP connector for Mac (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18140)?
I believe LogMeIn is a good software, RealVNC is another option.
i can add to Naeems's good proposals : Timbuktu (http://www.arrisi.com/products/product.asp?id=1027) and GoToMyPC (http://www.gotomypc.com/remote-access/).
Configure carefully these softwares in order to have a strong security : no default or autologin access, very good password, encryption if data is sensitive.
join.me and teamviewer are two I use. Teamviewer if you don't want someone to have to be sitting there to "let you in", they just authorize you and you can log in any time. Great for accessing your own computer while away.
With over a decade of experience in IT, including IT Support, TeamViewer is the winner so far compared to the rest of its' competitors simply because it's way faster & you got all the remote access features needed.
I worked with many start-up IT companies and we had a lot of work with remote desktop access and their alternatives. Here is a list we used in our company, hope it helps you: https://www.g2.com/products/remote-desktop-services/competitors/alternatives

How do I expand my network with people who are MORE influential than I am? I'm looking for tips and tricks to do this online (with LinkedIn, etc)
I've done a lot of work in this space (created the new art of conference network: Hashtags to handshakes). Here are a few thoughts for you: -get clear on you goal(s) and the type of people who can help you. -take inventory of what you have to offer(use this acronym Work history, Hobbies, Education, Network) -once you see the people you want to connect with, do the online research to see if you already have something or someone in common(LinkedIn). -read and comment on their content or something in their profile. -Invite them to 15min virtual coffee as an introduction call. (Be in a "how can I be of assistant mindset) -ask them two question during your virtual coffee (1. What are you working on that you're most passionate about? 2. What the biggest challenge?). Once you know someone's challenge you can find ways to be helpful. -Be patient. -let me know if you need more support ;)MA

Is this idea validation or harmful, good practice or a off on the wrong foot?
Could it be called Sketchy? Yes. Does everyone do it in every industry to get insider info on competitor pricing and presentation.... Pretty much. With that said if any do present as people you would like to work with, then for sure let them know what you were doing, that they made the cut, and that you would be honored to work with them.NP

As a massage specialist I am hoping to have pre-screened referrals from dentists/specialists, what's a good way to establish a solid referral network?
Hi, I've spent years working in business to business sales and essentially, you're trying to sell these professionals on the idea of working with you. I also have a large referral network and I've systematized it such that its easy for me to manage rewards back to those who send me business. First off, what's in it for them? Are these professionals allowed to earn commissions or rewards from you in your location? Find out. If you can offer a referral fee to them for sending you business this can be nice. In my system I give people a choice of how they want to be thanked and its really appreciated. Secondly, is there any way their professional reputation could be damaged by sending people to you? Do you project the image and deliver the service that they believe complements their own? Thirdly, how easy are you to work with? Will referring a patient to you require them to pick up the phone? Send an e-mail or manage the contact in any way? The less work the better. In my system, referring professionals just fill in a simple web form and I then contact the client and take care of everything from there. I hope this helps. Arrange a call with me if you'd like to discuss specific details, I'd be happy to work with you to set up a system that works for you and is also easy to sell to the professionals you're trying to work with. Thanks David BarnettDC

What are some tips to make the physical move to Silicon Valley, to ensure you are able to connect with talent/influencers, and find opportunities?
I moved to SF from Michigan for my startup a few years back, best decision ever. Lots of events, lots of talent and very accessible vc's. Its all quite natural. Just get into the mix. there is literally events all day everyday somewhere in the San Francisco Bay area. Use some of the free ticket services to find good Events. Join an incubator like plug and play tech center. Network! make sure to do the Palo Alto scene as well as the San Francisco scene, very different.JP

How do I find networking opportunities with entrepreneurs and influencers?
What your trying is one approach to finding investors. Here's another that in my experience is far more effective. I'd tap your network, and it's probably actually a lot bigger than you think! Linkedin is the perfect tool for this. Look for people you're connected to, that you trust, and that are suited to helping your business (ideally in your industry, or experienced in fundraising, etc) and that have a good network themselves (ideally they're connected to some investors you're interested in, but not required). Reach out to them, and let them know you're starting a venture, and are looking for their advice, and would love to treat them to a 30 min coffee meeting. People love to hear that others think they're awesome and they love to give advice which makes them feel awesome, and this is someone you know, so chances are they'll accept. Send this request to everyone relevant in your network. At the meeting, tell them about your venture, give them your pitch, hear their comments and heed their feedback, and ask them for 3 people in their network that would be great people to talk to. Get intros to those people, and repeat. If you do this diligently and listen well, your network will expand extremely quickly, and you'll be able to get introduced to literally anyone you want. This is how our founding team at Tachyus acquired our first customer within 1 month of starting, and having no experience or direct connections in our industry. I'm always down to chat in more detail if you're interested. Best of luck!FL
