MASTERING THE MEMBERSHIP MAZE: Could Joining Your Chamber of Commerce Make You Happier?

Mastering the Membership Maze with Glen Gould

Could the chamber be a key to more joy and happiness? Perhaps so according to 24 Tips for being happy at work (Shine for Yahoo, February 9, 2010). Experts have found that, "Socializing boost the moods of introverts and extroverts."

Most people in business know that joining a chamber of commerce makes good business sense. Where else can you meet other business leaders, share ideas with business professionals, have your voice represented in local government, and build your business for less than the cost of a cup of coffee a day? However, only the most involved in the local chamber understand how much joy you can gain from participation.

Much of our work is done in isolation. We work from home, behind a windshield, or in a private office or cube. In the pre-internet world, our interactions with people were more frequent and often in person. Much of our time was spent either on the telephone or face to face with colleagues and clients. This satisfied our need for community.

Today a large majority of workers interact with clients and colleagues through text and screen. Gone are the days when we really spent time with people. The local chamber of commerce can provide some of the key interactions you need as a worker to enjoy work and life more.

The article goes on to suggest, "Periodically, have lunch with co-workers." Solo-preneurs, home-based business professionals, outside sales professionals, and other individual workers are hard pressed to have lunch with co-workers. Often they attempt to fill their lunch appointments with sales calls or personal errands. But all workers need to feel a sense of community.

Having time and opportunity to discuss personal life and work challenges and accomplishments gives us a sense of belonging. The chamber is a great place of refuge in an isolated work world. So while joining the chamber may not be the key to happiness, attending chamber events could be.

Attend a chamber lunch or social and you just might find you are happier at work and in life. You'll definitely meet great people and make connections that can lead to more success.

MASTERING THE MEMBERSHIP MAZE: Could Joining Your Chamber of Commerce Make You Happier?

VENTURE FINANCING - REALITY VERSUS RUMOR: Angel Investors - What They Are, Part I

Venture Financing - Reality Versus Rumor with Dick Brown

These are not the Biblical angels that the Christians inherited from Jewish lore … nor are they necessarily creatures of good, spirits of love, or messengers from “above” - blissfully flitting “on gossamer wings”. Historically, they’re more closely related to the “angels” widely known as the financiers behind Broadway productions and Hollywood movies. Universally, they’re not in it for religion or bright lights, but bucks.

Investor angels provide a large percentage of the seed/growth capital to companies in the US. They typically invest their own funds, unlike venture capitalists who use OPM (Other Peoples’ Money). Although an individual makes the final investment decision, the actual funding may be from their trust, business, limited liability company, investment fund, etc.

Angel capital conveniently fills the gap in start-up financing between "friends, family and fools" and the VC’s. It is unusually difficult to raise more than a few thousand dollars from the 3F’s and even small venture capital firms will not consider investments under $1M to $2M. Thus, as the biblical ones, financial angels bridge a gap … not between heaven and earth, but between two of the most common sources of capital available to most entrepreneurs.

Angel investment is a common second round of financing for high-growth start-ups, and accounts in total for almost as much money invested annually as all venture capital funds combined, but into more than ten times as many companies ($26 billion vs. $30.69 billion in the US in 2007, and into 57,000 companies vs. the VC’s 3,918 companies).¹

Of the US companies that received angel funding in 2007, the average capital raised was about $450,000. However, there is no “set amount” for angel investors, and the range can go anywhere from a few thousand to a few million dollars. Software accounted for the largest share of angel investments, with 27 percent of total angel investments in 2007, followed by healthcare services, and medical devices and equipment (19 percent) and biotech (12 percent). The remaining investments were approximately equally weighted across high-tech sectors. Angel financing, while more readily available than venture financing, is still extremely difficult to raise.¹

Investment Criteria
Angel investments bear high risk and can be subject to dilution from future investment rounds. Angels use about the same ROI formulas as VC’s and seek investments that have the potential to return at least 10 or more times their original investment within 5 years - as well as those that can execute a defined exit strategy.

Their Community
According to the Center for Venture Research, there were 258,000 active angel investors in the U.S. in 2007. According to the US Small Business Administration, the number of individuals in the US who made an angel investment between 2001 and 2003 is between 300,000 and 600,000.

Gradually, angels started to coalesce into informal groups with the goal of sharing deal flow and due diligence work, and pooling their funds to make larger investments. One of the first (and the best known) of these was Hans Severins’ formation of the Band of Angels in 1994 in San Francisco, http://www.bandangels.com/.

Perhaps typical of angel groups, the Band of Angel’s track record is noted on their web page: “The Band has invested more than $186M into 200+ companies since 1994. Of these 45 have been acquired for a gain, and 9 have gone public on the NASDAQ. The cumulative IRR for all band investments since inception, including the losses suffered through the bust, is a positive 18%”.

Such angel groups are generally made up of 10 to 150 accredited investors interested in early-stage investing. The more advanced of these groups can have full time, professional staffs; associated investment funds; sophisticated web-based platforms for processing funding applications; and substantial operating budgets. Some such as the NY Angels, (http://angelsoft.net/angel-group/new-york-angels); founded by financial legend, David Rose; hand out more paperwork and forms to the new entrepreneur than comparable VC’s … and, have far longer waiting periods before being formally considered.

Today, there are dozens of angel groups, scattered across the US and other advanced countries, with varied charters and called a variety of different names. Even with the current recession, angel groups have grown like the Google’s cash flow. There’s hardly a city or university that doesn’t have an angel group. Just check on the Internet.

General Angel Characteristics:

• They are business executives and owners.
  
• The average age of an angel investor is 47. Few are younger than 35 or older than 65.
  
• Most are white males and 72% have a college degree.
  
• The average income is greater than $90,000.
  
• The average net worth is $750,000.
  
• Their average investment is $25,000 to $50,000 per deal.
  
• Their acceptance of deals is around 20%. (They actually invest in 1 out of every 5 deals that they see.)
  
• Only 1 in 12 is a lone investor. (For those weak in arithmetic, this means that 11 out of every 12 angels need someone else to invest in the deal with them.)
  

Types of Angels
Entrepreneur/Executives
These angels exist within the power structure of your industry or their own. They are most grateful for their success and often somewhat embarrassed by it. They are very willing to help newcomers to the game. Often they will devote almost excessive time, money and effort to help you succeed. They remember that early in their careers, someone once helped them. They rarely have “hidden agendas” and are close to your “perfect investor”.

Wealthy Individuals
There are many wealthy individuals who enjoy helping new businesses. The best candidates may also have an interest in the specific kind of business you are starting. Generally, they do not have formal investment evaluation criteria. They rely instead on instinct and on endorsement introductions from other successful individuals or advisors.

Most expect a handsome ROI over a relatively short period of time. Rarely do they intend to become permanent investors in the business. Wealthy individuals actively monitor their investments, and most frequently as board members.

They enjoy the social prestige of being benefactors to successful new businesses. Their personal contacts and business abilities are valuable resources.

“Corporate” Angels
There are many companies that are looking for new products and services to broaden their business markets. Depending on your venture, they may invest money, time, facilities, technical support and many other potentially valuable assets. They can move quickly … sometimes too quickly from the view of their own investors.

Biggest barrier? Political factions in their company playing “not invented here!”

Best advantage? Have the CEO like you.

What are the differences between the Executive/Entrepreneur and the Corporate Angel? The former invests their personal money. The latter uses company money.

The Entrepreneur/Executives and the Corporate Angels should be at the top of your list as sources of capital. In addition to money they have power, influence and many friends.

Even better, you can find them fairly easily. Every state has publications that list all the companies in the state, by region, by industry, by size, and other categories with the names of the executives and the phone/ fax numbers. Many of these publications sell the lists and in many cases on disks, already formatted for “lead tracking software”, such as Outlook or ACT.

Foreign Angels
If you can locate them, Non-US Citizens are perhaps the very best “pure” investors. They have no protection under most US securities laws. They live in another country. They rarely call you and usually don’t even bother showing up at the yearly stockholders meeting. The real ones are rich, usually naive, and simply trying to make money.

On the other hand, they are terribly hard to find and close, even over the Internet. And, you don’t know who they truly are … or, the real reason they want to invest in your company. And if they are “Bad Angels” or “Fallen Angels”, they are smart enough not to have their business cards read “Tijuana Drug Cartel, Mexico.”

Having opened this subject, the single largest problem for organized crime is what to do with all the cash. It is not uncommon for criminal organizations to form “front companies” that invest in interesting opportunities. They’re very good at hiding the real ownership. Legend has it that the Mafia started and owned the NY banks that gradually morphed into American Express. Be careful whose money you take!

VENTURE FINANCING - REALITY VERSUS RUMOR: Angel Investors - What They Are, Part I

A NOTE FROM THE CHAIRMAN: Can Games Change the World?

Now that the Winter Olympics have come and gone, I've begun to wax philosophically about the power of games that either bring people together or drive them apart.

When I look back upon my days in public school, I have some very fond memories...I loved going to school. There was one thing, however, that I dreaded...gym class. Yes...I was never what you would call an "athlete" and was usually one of the last people picked for a team.

Perhaps it was the whole "competitive" thing - I usually had a hard time with the concept of "I win, you lose" or as my business partner, Douglas Castle states "a zero sum" proposition. Of course the concept of competition is nothing new; it's been around for millennia in what Darwin called "survival of the fittest". As (I would like to believe) a more evolved being, I personally find the concept of competition distasteful.

But what about "healthy" competition?

Healthy competition is certainly used in the Olympics - many call it "good sportsmanship" and it can be quite exciting to watch your favorite country or athlete overcome obstacles just to achieve such an honor as winning a medal. Of course, healthy competition is also used to describe what happens in a democracy or democratic-type economic system. In light of recent, economic and political events of the past several years, one has to wonder just how "healthy" competition can be. After all in competition, one person wins while everyone else loses - personally speaking, I don't like the odds.

Fortunately, competition becomes "friendlier" and "healthier" when there is a natural form of reset mechanism, such as an annual competition like the Super Bowl or World Cup. In video and online games, there is even a "reset" button.

But when you are playing a game in which there is no reset button, then you are either playing a game in which eventually either everyone loses or everyone wins. I liken our current global economic crisis in the former of the two, however, I have been taking notice of the various collaborative-type games that do encourage the "win-win".

I remember a few years back, my wife and I took our kids to a families-oriented party with a DJ who played games. He had a very interesting spin on the old musical chairs game, where instead of chairs, he had hula hoops that the kids had to stand in once the music stopped. At first, there was one hoop per child. After each break in the music, however, a few hoops were taken away and the children had to share the remaining hoops until at the end they had to find a way to get everyone into one hoop. When they did, everyone received a prize.

Many social media platforms, including Facebook, are growing in population and popularity through the use of collaborative games, such as Mafia Wars, Farmville and Zoo World. These games, particularly Zoo World (my wife's favorite) rely upon networking and cooperation as a means to grow your zoo, buy better animals, etc. Points are awarded for inviting new players, sending others virtual gifts, collaboratively working to save whales, getting others to act as your zookeepers and more.

I was encouraged after reading an article about Jane McGonigal, a game designer who believes in using games as a tool for encouraging positive behavior and sustainability. Her recent project, an online game known as "Urgent Evoke" aims toward eliminating world poverty by encouraging and empowering its players, in particular, the people of Africa, a continent with some of the world's poorest countries. In the game, players are rewarded for performing real-world tasks (like volunteering) and the winners (it is yet unspecified as to how many) can walk away with scholarships and even start-up money for projects.

Our current economic system is a game that fewer and fewer people are winning. There is no reset button short of corporations and/or the government doing the right thing or a revolution breaking out. Or, of course, perhaps we can all take a cue, and perhaps even some inspiration from Ms. McGonigal and the other collaborative-based games we play for "fun".

Everyone deserves a chance to play a game that can be won.

All my best,

Adam

Beth Barany: Get Published Now!
"Social Networking for Authors"

“Awesome article, Beth, very pointed questions. It actually got me thinking about several things. This may be overshare, but here are some answers I came up with re: your questions: 1. I would like to meet other people. Learn & teach new things. Help others with their online efforts. Drum up new business. 2. What's important is that I help people. That I increase my own income. That I have the standard of living and experiences in life I desire. 3. I would like to know how to approach and communicate with people effectively. I would like to know what is appropriate communication with others (as opposed to being 'salesy', pushy, or 'spammy'). 4. Providing value... or rather effectively communicating value to others. Greeting/approaching others is also tough. Generating dialogue. 5. Business is all about people. Networking is getting out there and meeting those people, getting to know their needs, and how you might be able to help them. 6. It's everywhere. So diverse. So many great people. Versatile, and powerful. 7. Technical stuff. Evaluating needs. 8. Create a steady stream of traffic, and revenue. Create powerful business connections and meaningful friendships.”
- Peter F.


Peter Biadasz: Write to Excite
"Your Networking Success Story"

“Great article! One of my greatest networking successes was meeting a new realtor at the same time I started selling insurance. He has become my greatest champion and a big reason for my success. Thank you G.P. for all the leads - you are a great friend indeed!”
- Joshua Lakey
joshualakey@allstate.com

“Peter, I have some great networking stories. However one of my best is how I met Adam & Douglas from TNNW. It was through Bill Doerr whom I met on another networking site called Biznik. You never know whom you will meet or where that will lead you down a very exciting 'rabbit hole.' ”
- Rick Itzkowich


Douglas Castle: DOUGLAS CASTLE RANTS
"People Don't Follow Ideas" “Douglas, Excellent article! One of your best works.”
- Peter Biadasz
Author/Speaker/Publisher
www.TotalPublishingAndMedia.com


Douglas Castle: "This 'Recovery' is giving the field of Economics a bad name"

“Oh boy!”
- Douglas Castle


Brenda Krueger Huffman: The Point
"Anyone can buy a truck.” No, Mr. President, they can’t"
“This is a very interesting article and brings up a lot of points (questions) in my own beliefs. I always thought of myself as a true Liberal or Democrat, however, having read this article and having lived in both countries - the U.S. and Canada - with two very different Government and political stands, I have to consider myself an Independent Voter. I have come to "not" believe in extremes myself. There has to be a middle ground with the citizens of a country paying taxes to support growth to increase prosperity and economic health which leads to economic confidence, job creation, lower debt, etc... On the other hand, there has to be reform so that unfair and wrong practices don't go unnoticed. My point of view comes from living in Canada the majority of my life where we have been burdened with very high taxes since the day we enter the work force to make sure everyone is taken care of -- even those individuals who are capable of working but choose not to. I have worked hard all my life and I believe that all citizens of any country who have done so to contribute to economic growth deserve a safety net by Government, and at the same time Government and politicians need to listen to its people. This is where Government has fallen very short.”
- astra_baltayan@hotmail.com


Rick Itzkowich: Being There When It Counts
"How far removed are you?"
“That's a very good concept, Rick. I was a networking sceptic when I started on social media marketing, and thought you could only get value from a small and trusted network. I am now a convert of larger numbers and serendipity. I now believe that adding (perhaps with some degree of quality control) large numbers to your network, the chance of you clicking with that "gate opener" becomes more likely. Also by talking to lots of different people, you suddenly get a different angle on where your product could enter the market. As you say via a partnership, endorsement, sub contract etc. You have to keep talking to people and keep your mind open. Social networks allow you to do more of that (at times to suit you) with a bigger network and therefore pushes up the chances of achieving a hit.”
- Les Potton Chartered FCIPD ACII


Chris Kauza: The Net-Tech Report
Technology Tutorial -- Introduction to Bluetooth Technology

“Chris, thank you for the easy explanation of these terms. I like when technogeek is translated into plain English.”
- Rick Itzkowich


Adam Kovitz: A Note from the Chairman
Five Years of TNNW, Part III

"Thanks for your kind words. They are appreciated."
- Ivan Misner


Dr. Ivan Misner: Network Like A Pro
“Referral Marketing: Top Ten Ways Others Can Promote You”

“These are great suggestions. In addition I would like to submit another one. Ask people to recommend you on LinkedIn. This greatly helps build your credibility. People can do this even if they themselves are not LinkedIn members.”
- Rick Itzkowich


“Your article, while interesting, fails to address a fundamental concern: 'I'm a newly minted entrepreneur. I don't have the luxury of developing long term relationships.' Your article might be mildly interesting to the veteran, bu to a newcomer to the world of 'entrepreneurship,' I fail to see how he/she would be even remotely interested, having learned your lessons from Kindergarden on. Have you ever had to start a business from scratch?”
- guitarman1811@aol.com


Ann Barczay Sloan: Especially For Women
"Ambassador of New Education and Bridge to Asia Pacific Shares Her Humanitarian Mission of Abundance World-Wide"

“Investment in education for girls increases the economic & social returns of development investments in all other sectors. Educating girls contributes to creating wealth through its impact on economic development.”
- Chiropractic Internet Marketing


Christine West: Go West!
"Honoring Thy Self... Part II"
“Christine, there is a fine balance between giving to others and taking care of ourselves. Finding that balance is essential to our experience of life. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.”
- Rick Itzkowich

“Hi Christine: Thanks for contacting me and sharing. I appreciate hearing from you. I found your article very interesting, motivational, and possessing the character of the person that wrote it. The most interesting point for me is that to live an efficacious life that reflects individual and personal goals does involve the discipline of staying true to who a person really is and laying aside those things which distract and encumber a person from success. It is not isolation but having a singular purpose that will challenge a person to color outside of the lines, stand alone, and exercise discipline toward success. Actually, my impression is that Christine is living in the words of the article and it reveals her inner processes and struggles. Thanks for writing ... you are a bright and shining star. Your Friend in Word and Deed.”
- Ronnie L. Murrill

“Excellent analogy of the horse and jockey...Christine hit the nail on the head!”
- Phyllis Wilson

A WIN For Everyone with n2Millennials and Scott Degraffenreid

n2millennials are giving out full size, free eBook versions of Scott Degraffenreid’s book “Understanding the Millennial Mind: A Menace or Amazing?” Launching this week through their new portal Big Business Zoo. Scott’s book is a great resource for parents, teachers, companies who work with Millennials and companies who want to market to Millennials.

The Millennial Generation is sometimes called Gen Y and spans the years 1982 to 2001, they have distinct behavior patterns, attitudes and values that older generations often misunderstand.

Copies of the eBook can be downloaded at http://bigbusinesszoo.com/millennials.php

Videos, articles and more material specific to Millennials is available on http://N2Millennials.com.

In addition, Scott’s new site “We Did the Math” http://wedidthemath.com showcases his other specialties – Creating a Culture of Acknowledgment and Referral Marketing, which were also developed using Social Network Analysis and Root Cause Analysis for major corporations.

Getting this material out to the Millennial Generation and those who connect with them has the capability of creating bridges of understanding in families and the workplace.

No sign up is necessary to get the free eBook – They want this information to go global – for this generation and for our collective future. Kathryn Booth 360-543-7900 kb@bigbusinesszoo.com http://n2millennials.com

Eric Taschereau WINS with mobile Website

Eric Taschereau helps business owners understand the younger generations that hold majority in the mobile market and help them reach their target demographic more effectively.

His pet-project has been creating some big responses. He has stepped it up and it is now becoming a priority of his. He has continued to develop it and has added content as the interest in it has continued to grow.

It is a mobile website, though if you do not have a smart-phone it can be viewed in your PC browser if you are only interested in the content, as the formatting will be lost if viewed on a PC.
