It seems we are at a time in society where it is easy to be negative. Too often we overlook the positives because a decision or negotiation didn’t go our way. For instance, the comment of “crumbs” from the new tax reform but those “crumbs” are more money in our pockets. Could it be more? Yes. Could it be less? Yes. Negativity creates more negativity and I will stay positive and talk about the successes.

How Does the Tax Act Benefit Small Business?
|
|
|
|
Federal tax reform for small businesses is no longer a dream. The newly passed Tax Cuts and Jobs Act—supported by NFIB once provisions were made to support small business—will provide significant tax relief to many small businesses across the country. Relief could come in multiple forms including reduced individual tax rates, estate tax relief, and cash accounting.

Did you know it matters to your customers that you’re a chamber member?
It’s true! A study by the Schapiro Group found that when consumers know a business is a member of the local chamber, that business enjoys a 49% increase in favorability, a 73% increase in awareness,
and
consumers are 80% more likely to purchase from that business in the future.
Did you get that?
80%
more likely to purchase. So let everyone know you are a proud member of the chamber. Put it on your website, your emails, shout it out on social media, put it in your window! And reap the rewards.
It’s your membership…own it!

Question
: “What is a manager's first responsibility?"
Answer
:
Every manager knows the value of a satisfied, loyal and productive employee. Successful organizations create a culture where internal quality is a priority. The value of internal quality is a concept proven long ago by Harvard Business School research. Those organizations appreciate there is more to employee satisfaction than a pay check, so they often create and adhere to strict management practices that strengthen the relationship between managers and their direct reports.When employees, at any level, like the work they do, the people they work with and the organization they work for, they are often satisfied. This satisfaction at work begets employee loyalty and loyalty generates productivity. Open, frequent, employee-focused attention is the first step in developing internal quality. This is leadership’s first responsibility. The only results are employees who become disciples for your organization, not ones who speak poorly of the company after they leave!
