GROWING IN YOUR (YOU & IBGR) COMMUNITY - WILLIAM EASTMAN

Introduction
This opening is simple. In a world where all the forces are aligned to make it impossible for small businesses, under 500 employees, to survive, we all need a community that cares. We have built it and offering you the same thing that drove us - a safe harbor.

That is part of IBGR becoming your CGO - your virtual Chief Growth Officer. In that mode we have built a platform that moves beyond the one-way conversation of radio and podcasts to real relationships; our Community of Commerce where you can engage world-class talent.

A thought before we start, JOIN my new group in the IBGR.Community - Living the Life . If you are a serial entrepreneur and looking to discuss how to build a company that runs itself as part of creating a business empire or live a more balanced life, what ever that means - this is the right spot.

LISTEN > ENGAGE > APPLY

Objectives - The WHY
We have 3 reasons for making this offer. First is our decision to offer a full service, one stop resource for Starting, Growing, and Exiting a business. We knew that 24 X 7 global programming would go a long way and was not enough. We added the Community of Commerce to help you move from knowing to doing.

Second is no entrepreneur/business owner should put their future in the hands of  the unreliable Right now businesses are getting shut down by the social media platforms for what? Something THEY disagree with. Their arbitrary application of so called rules means you are at their mercy. Really!, You have undertaken all of the risk and achieved some level of success only to lose it organization that does not have your best interest at heart.

The Third reason was to offer the same escape route from the Masters of the Universe. We are no longer in their clutches so success will be determined by us, not the clueless. In this environment when nobody cares about your life or death, we offer a sanctuary with the thought - surround yourself with peers that give a damn.

We are a Network of Entrepreneurs for Entrepreneurs.
  • We are the new version of a Chamber of Commerce. A community designed to help entrepreneurs and business owners use the information in their businesses. Instead of trying to make the transition from 48 minutes of insights delivered every hour, you can follow our Hosts (subject matter experts), join their groups, ask questions, post ideas - all with one purpose in mind - taking your business to the next level.
  • We are provide immediate answers to your day-to-day issues through our smart device app. Every resource available to the listening audience or to members of our community can access the needed information immediately. Have a question, need alternative ideas, or a tool to solve the problem - click search in the app and it will be available.
