Work Place Initiative -- A New Organization

Has your business survived the start-up phase? Are you ready to move to the next level? Are you ready to work smarter – not harder – to grow your business? And do you want the support and guidance of people in the same boat as you?

The purpose and mission of the Initiative is to provide effective business growth strategies to small and medium sized businesses through networking, educational forums and peer support. The focus is on owners and managers of businesses that have been in business for more than one year and have reached a level of growth where they need help getting to the next level.

One aspect of the Initiative, Insight, is an Advisory Board -- a group of professionals whose knowledge, skills and/or influence offer input and advice pertaining to a specific goal or objective.

Through the sharing of thoughts and goals with a small group of respected advisors, businesses involved in Insight learn how to put first things first, optimize their capability and widen their circle of influence. They find win/win situations while developing an abundance mentality.

The other part of the Initiative is monthly networking and educational forums where experts in their field present information on topics of interest to small business owners and managers. Areas such as health insurance, marketing, management and more are all envisioned to be on the agenda in the coming months.
