Business or Pleasure


Chicago club promotion company, ClubNet 360, is a lot more than throwing a great party; it is a thriving business.

ClubNet 360, a corporate empire founded by Teddy Gilmore, is designed to create a stimulating and entertaining environment for trendsetters, innovators, thinkers and doers.

Gilmore enthusiastically explains, "it's more than just promoting an event and knowing a lot of people. I promote life!"


Q: How do you answer this question: "What do you do for a living?"

A: I have been promoting for 14 years. I promote life!



Q: What is ClubNet 360's primary goal?


A: To continue to provide the city with entertainment.



Q: Do you like what you do?


A: Of course. When you're good at something, you shouldn't do it for free.



Q: Where doyou see Clubnet360 in the future?


A: We are currently working to become a franchised corporation through multi-level marketing.



Q: What do you say to people who look at your career as just party-throwing?


A: I do throw parties and events, but this is also a business. This is an industry that I have built my company upon to dominate. I define the industry.



Q: How do you give back to the community?


A: I used to teach Junior Achievement. Now, my schedule does not allow me to continue to teach but, I regularly donate monetarily to the organization. Junior Achievement teaches you entrepreneurship. It's important that young people know how to build and manage their own businesses and affairs.



Q: How do you prevent yourself from getting sucked in to the industry?


A: I have been doing this for a long time. One must understand that you are a businessman. This profession is one of the few professions that mixes business with pleasure. Handle everything as a business.

Gilmore continues to stress the importance of learning how to run a business. In this industry, he is a living example of how one can be successful and live on that thin line between business and pleasure.
