 The marathon of
confronting multiple business challenges all the
time is wearing down enterprisers. Like
navigating potholes in our streets, we're
addressing only the challenges that are coming at
us. In planning, the driving questions have
changed from 'How long will it
take?' to 'How much time do I
have?'
In recent months New
Game, New Rules addressed the six enterprise
phases, four action managment techniques and the
available opportunities to go global. Archives of
past issues are available on http://www.dalebruder.com/
Be
At the Table, Not On the Menu
Your enterprise is
dynamic; going through phases, constantly
challenged by the financial, regulatory,
technological, mechanical, cultural, social and
political push/pull forces that throws every
effort into the global
market.
Every business operates
on an internal clock. Enterprisers waking up to
the alarm to be smart about
it
are taking steps. What time is it for
you?
Be a Business Person, Not
Just a Business Owner
There are two sorts of
business paralysis happening these
days.
The first is hanging on
to market share at the expense of expansion -
circling the wagons. The second is sacrificing
margins - hoping to make it through another day.
Breaking out of both conditions happens in
deepening the business model.
The current craze of
networking groups has reached it's limits in the
Tucson valley mostly because we know or know of
each other. Like an isolated valley, they have the
formalized boundaries and morality of a closed
society. What is needed is a salon mindset, a
landscape of horizons - where the new west opening
continues attracting talent to big sky country.
Like the Renaisance, the New West culture of
adventure, experiment and creativity keeps
delivering.
Being a business person
is an artistic experience. The approach is
creative. The experience is transformational.
Everyday is an adventure, even when it's a
disaster. A business person discovers who they are
every moment. The enterprise adjusts to the new
reality.
Everyone is an
Enterprise
The economy keeps
stumbling along mostly due to the typical person
is overleveraged and focused on paying down debt.
Like business models, unconsciously, we've come to
live pro forma lives. It's not an option to
increase our debt limit.
An
Unreasonable Expectation or a Broken
Promise?
I've learned in
communicating with the 200 plus members of Tucson
independnet Small Business Owners that businesses
want the organizations they belong to do something
for them that moves them forward. Their products
and services are not being engaged as they thought
would occur.
Vitalizing Your Enterprise
The vitalized Tucson
independent Small Business Owners addresses
members' needs by transforming the meet-up group
into a business of business support organization.
TiSBO is now a dues
based, member focused support group. Members
receive four huge benefits based on
the pro forma of volume pricing making the
services deliverable. Members receive personal,
professional attention of perception and

agenda

of participation. You are encouraged to access
many of the benefits according to your schedule,
be present in and generate value by being a
business person with a successful business
enterpise that has continuity and is competitive.
Call To Action
Everyday new and
invigorated enterprises are competing for your
hard won marketshare. The question you find
yourself asking is Do I give up margins or
marketshare?
Step into the fire and
burn off any reticence, anxiety and despondency by
becoming aware of the business of your business.
Launch, build, prepare to sell or.... benefits
from TiSBO membership. Next is deepen your
business of business skills. At Tucson independent
