EPISODE B4.004 Production (Products and/or Services) Flexibility

RESULTS RADIO..."Let's Grow Together"

Introduction
Good day and hope you are looking forward to a productive week.
This week we are announcing our new community - The Community of Commerce for all insiders. Everyone who has JOINED US and become an inside we are moving off of the weebly web platform to a community site on Tribe. 

This will provide an opportunity to share information, ask questions, and gain support for starting, growing, or exiting your business.

It is our version of the Chamber of Commerce - what it could have been instead of what it has become. This community has one goal - your success as a business owner to build generational wealth for your family. That growth will create more and better jobs in your local community.

It is a stand alone (outside the control of the arbitrary large providers) platform that provides entrepreneurs and business owners a space for the free and open exchange of ideas.

As a member of IBGR's Community of Commerce you can:

1. Follow other users including the OnAir Talent and Executive Team at the station.
2. Ask and answer questions about starting, growing, and exiting the business from our OnAir team and each other.
3. Follow any member of the Community to stay abreast of their latest business insights as well as building your own following.
4. Start discussions to stimulate input from other members of the Community.
5. Create and vote in Community polls.
6. Post and comment on posts and blogs.
7. Access and share content entrepreneurs and business owners can use.

We built this beyond the reach of the 'masters of the universe' so you can speak your mind.

Have a great business week.

This starts and ends as a mindset. The application of tools is easy if you make everything small, quick to complete, and simple to do. That sounds simple but as the business grows and becomes more sophisticated, this mindset is lost. You will be challenge to maintain this view of the business during the fast growth of Stage IV.

Key Issues - Owner Perspective:

1. Using agilean principles in production of products and services.
2. Keep it small with short runs.
3. Flexibility is being able to change quickly.
