EDUCATION 1 - Economic downturns

February 17th, 2009

Economic downturns provide a good opportunity for growth if you and your business can focus.

Who can anchor to an unanchored mind?

Multiple sources of our media are blasting the news that our economy is bad and getting worse every day.  Unemployment is up around 8% - the highest it has been in decades.  This might be scary unless you consider the opposing stat – 92% of people have jobs.  Additionally they say there is little hope on the horizon.  Should we duck our tails and slink away?   NO!!!  This is a great opportunity for success.

Our current economy opens doors for growth and improvement in your business as well as your membership in Best of the Best.  In lean times, lean cats meet success but fat cats become extinct.

Grab your opportunities and if they don’t present themselves, make opportunity.  Create and cultivate new contacts and relationships.  Get rid of lazy and non-productive employees.    Fill non-productive and wasted time in your business with industrious activities.

Do more one on ones!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

I Appreciate All Feedback.

Organic Vegetables

January 28th, 2009



Palm Beach Organics is a buying club specializing in organic fruits and vegetables. We are currently servicing Palm Beach County, FL and aim to source our products from Florida farms as much as possible.
We use group buying power to purchase wholesale organic fruits and vegetables on a weekly basis, dividing the booty amongst its members. By bringing like-minded people together we work in cooperation towards one common goal: getting fresh organic goods at a reasonable price.
Members may choose from four different box sizes, and specify weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly service.

Vision Statement

January 28th, 2009

The goal of the BOB networking group is to bring together a group of local business owners and professionals who are truly best-in-class in their respective industries, and create a sense of responsibility for each member’s growth and success. Our members make every effort to learn about each member’s business, gain trust and confidence, refer high quality prospects and enthusiastically promote each other whenever possible. Through the voluntary exchange of ideas and feedback, group members will help other members network more effectively and convert prospects to customers. Creating an ongoing win-win partnership with each and every member is paramount to the success of the group and is the collective responsibility of the group.

 

The group will be sufficiently large enough to cover a fair representation of consumer businesses in and around northern Palm Beach County while avoiding overlap in business type or specific profession.
