In the world of entrepreneurship, success often hinges on collaboration, networking, and access to valuable resources. One organization that exemplifies these essential elements is Letip, particularly the Los Angeles chapter known as Westside Referrals Network, led by the dedicated President, Steve Mass, a seasoned Premiere Mortgage Lender and a 24-year member of Letip WRN.
Steve’s journey with Letip is a compelling and educational tale of transformation. Reflecting on his initial six months in the group, he candidly admits, “I have been in LeTip of Westside Referrals Network since 2001. The first 6 months in this group did not work for me.” His initial goal was to secure four payroll clients for a trip to Bermuda, a goal that seemed elusive. He confided in his sponsor, stating that Letip wasn’t working for him.
In response, his sponsor posed three crucial questions: “Did you pass tips?” Steve answered affirmatively, meeting the minimum requirement of two tips a month. However, when asked about one-on-one meetings, committee involvement, and board participation, Steve had to admit he hadn’t engaged in any of these activities.
Rather than letting him quit, Steve’s sponsor offered valuable advice: “Since you have another 6 months that you’ve already paid, give it 100%. Become the top tipper, meet members one on one, get on a committee, or better yet, become a board member.” Steve committed wholeheartedly.
He became the top tipper, took on a role on the board (membership), and actively engaged with members on a personal level. The results were nothing short of remarkable. In the subsequent six months, not only did he surpass his payroll quota for the year, but he also earned a well-deserved trip to the Bahamas. Reflecting on this pivotal moment, Steve shares, “In essence, if I were to listen to myself and quit, I would have made the biggest mistake in my life. I bleed LeTip blue now and always.”
This personal story underscores the importance of perseverance and active engagement within the Letip community. It’s a testament to the organization’s transformative potential when members wholeheartedly embrace the principles of collaboration, networking, and community support.
Letip WRN’s exclusive membership offers entrepreneurs a unique platform to connect, collaborate, and propel their businesses to new heights.

Building Meaningful Connections
At the heart of Letip Westside Referrals Network lies its emphasis on building meaningful connections. Entrepreneurs are brought together in a supportive and collaborative environment where they can share experiences, insights, and business opportunities. The power of networking is not just about the quantity of connections but the quality, and LETIP WRN excels in curating a network where genuine relationships are formed. Dr. Katherine Macey, CEO of Organize To Excel shares “LeTip has been the backbone of my business for more than 10 years. I’ve met many quality business people through LeTip over the years and developed deep, long lasting relationships that have benefitted not only my business, but also my personal life. I work hard every week to pass referrals to the people in the group and they do the same for me. Having an expanded marketing team really works.”
Westside Referrals Network transcends traditional networking by promoting cross-industry collaboration. Members come from diverse sectors, enabling entrepreneurs to tap into a wide range of expertise. Whether you are in real estate, technology, marketing, healthcare, or creative industries, the power of cross-industry collaboration allows for innovative solutions, fresh perspectives, and the potential for business growth in unexpected directions.
One of the standout features of LETIP WRN is its focus on referral marketing. Members actively refer business to each other, creating a powerful ecosystem where success is shared. Referral marketing is more than a transaction; it is a testament to trust and confidence in fellow members’ abilities. Michael Goldstein (Personal Injury Attorney and a member for 20 years) states “LeTip has really enhanced my law practice by introducing and exposing me to other members who work in a wide variety of occupations. We have built mutual trust, accountability and longstanding friendships over the years by meeting almost every week. As my practice has continued to grow over the past 25 years, approximately 25% of my new business comes from direct LeTip referrals or derivative referrals. I would not have built my law practice to what it is today without LeTip.”
Being a member of Letip is not just about receiving referrals; it’s also a continuous learning journey. The organization provides a platform for skill development, knowledge sharing, and educational opportunities. Workshops, seminars, and expert sessions offer members the chance to stay updated on industry trends, marketing strategies, and the latest technologies, enhancing their overall business acumen.
Entrepreneurship can be a solitary journey, but Westside Referrals Network transforms it into a collective effort. The sense of community support within the organization is a driving force for entrepreneurs facing challenges. Whether it’s advice, mentorship, or a listening ear, the community within WRN LETIP stands ready to support its members in their entrepreneurial endeavors.
The organization goes beyond conventional networking, offering members the ability to develop their public speaking skills, present in front of a friendly audience, attend monthly lunch bunches and networking events. Through meaningful connections, cross-industry collaboration, referral marketing, skill development, and community support, LETIP WRN is empowering entrepreneurs to not only build their businesses but also thrive in an ever-evolving marketplace.
