Episode Description
The Ides of March. Historically, not a good time of year as many events have occurred during that time period, the assassination of Julius Caesar being one. Suddenly, in March of 2020, an unseen enemy known as COVID19 attacked the world and in a heartbeat drove populations behind closed doors and consumers away from their merchant relationships. Chambers of Commerce represent, empower and support those merchant relationships and they like their constituents have been faced during the past year with the greatest challenges that they have ever undergone. Chambers are a vital element of any society as they are integrated with local and state governments and in many cases are largely responsible for the passage of laws that benefit their businesses. Today I am interviewing some now movers and shakers that have recognized the challenges of the day and are implementing radical changes in their modus operandi to meet COVID19 head on. We will find out what they are up to in March 2021.

BizZne$$ BuzZ is all about your business. Small business is in trouble and they have been as far back as the “rocking” that occurred in 2008. The 14.2 percent loss of many brick and mortar small businesses happened by the year 2015 (source, NFIB 2015 Report). Already being squeezed by Internet predators, like Amazon, E-Bay, etc. They are literally sucking the life out of small businesses by customer and profit “siphoning.” B2B Networking Groups and social media disappointments abound.
Small business needs a “counter” to these E-commerce tsunamis and that mechanism is the power of UNITY, RELATIONSHIP and the Law of RECIPROCITY. This is an EDGE that is a non-compete. The “perfect storm” of shut down/customer distancing, lack of capital and uncertainty are the devastating effects of COVID19 disruption.
Our mission is to provide your business the boost that it needs to recapture your personal visions, rejuvenate your operations and to bring about a platform that represents your interests.
