A NOTE FROM THE CHAIRMAN: Managing Relationships

Managing Relationships

by Adam J. Kovitz


Today is Father's Day here in the U.S. and I was delighted to received three different Father's Day cards from my three different sons.  This got me thinking.

Between my sons and I we all share a common relational status:  that of a father and son, but what I find so intriguing is that each relationship is VERY DIFFERENT.

To my oldest (the soccer star), he views me as someone who is funny, hard-working, caring, supportive and his personal coach who follows him around before and after each game and practice.  For Son #2, my physical features seem important; the fact that I have short, "fuzzy" hair (his words), perpetual stubble on my face, hair on my chest, a necklace and my laugh.  Lastly, Son #3 (Son #2's twin), sees me as "someone famous" (again, his words) and respects my ability to work with gears (we play Legos a lot together, my old sets were the advanced motor/gear sets and I have a degree in Engineering) as well as my musical tastes (we both share an appreciation for drums and like to play Rock Band together).

Same relational status, three individuals that are important to me, three different relationships that I must manage effectively.

As the Chairman of an emerging enterprise, I have relationships with my writers, with TNNWC's Executive Team, with our Cooperative Business Committee (CBC), our Selected Service Providers, and you, the one who is reading this.

This is true with any entrepreneurial endeavor or emerging enterprise...the key to business success is in how you manage the various relationships on which all stakeholders depend.  And while this is certainly common sense, it is not always common practice.

Speaking of relationships, we are proud to announce two key relationships that are now part of our new Cooperative Business Committee (CBC):  Bonnie Ross-Parker of The Joy of Connecting and Sandra Levitin of Kalön Women.  Bonnie has been a long-time friend and supporter of TNNWC and joins us now as the Chairperson of the CBC.  Bonnie was recently honored by the Direct Selling Women's Alliance as one of their "Women of Achievement" as well as being a permanent placement of the "Wall of Achievement" on the Princess Diana Exhibit.  For more information, click here.

Sandra and Kalön Women are certainly no stranger to the 40+ women's entrepreur community and recently joined forces with TNNWC to produce a news release for her organization as well as a Call for Submission for the upcoming Kalön Womens Magazine series, "Memories of My Father" and "Memories of My Childhood".  Lastly, Sandra is producing a new Teleseminar Series, "Get Your Big Girl Panties On:  The 8 Habits of Big Girl Panty Players".  For the fully-downloaded PDF announcement, please click here.

And while the CBC is championing the formation of our Global Interworked Cooperative Business Community (GICBC) and have joined the "GICBC Movement", we are asking all of you on LinkedIn and Facebook to show us your support and get involved as well with our new discussion groups:
LinkedIn:  http://bit.ly/GICBCLinkedIn, and
Facebook:  http://bit.ly/GICBCFacebook 

We welcome all comments, ideas and input. 


All my best,

Adam

A NOTE FROM THE CHAIRMAN: The National Networker™ Welcomes Phil Lawson

The National Networker Welcomes Phil Lawson

by Adam J. Kovitz


Last week we launched our brand new website to debut our new look, new direction and re-commitment to getting entrepreneurs and emerging enterprises:

  1. Access to the same level of intelligence, data and research that large corporations pay millions of dollars for every year
  2. The ability to be seen and heard in ways that they simply cannot do on their own through the leverage provided them by simply being a member of our Global Interworked Cooperative Business Community (GICBC)
  3. Unique and innovative access to financing through our merchant payment processing services as well as our upcoming TNNWC Emerging Enterprises Venture Capital Program to be launched July 1st, 2010
  4. The ability to join and become involved in our community, thereby determining their own destiny, building their own future, championing innovation and deriving income through multiple streams of revenue.

Read more about the "GICBC Movement" in this week's UPDATE.

Moving on...


This week we are proud to welcome Phil Lawson, Founder/CEO of Spherit Inc.  Spherit is an organization that engages its clients (like the U.S. Army, State Departments of Labor and Employment, Colleges and Universities, etc.) in both collaboration and innovation.  Phil will be bringing his own insight (as well as interesting obsession with spheres) to TNNWas a former executive of several private and publicly-traded companies in his new column Connecting the Dots.  WELCOME PHIL!!!

Once again, we honor and respect your thoughts on what we're becoming and where we're going, please let us know your thoughts about this and our website (we just might include your response in an upcoming BACKTALK) by clicking here.



All my best,

Adam

THE GICBC MOVEMENT

The Governments of the world, the capital markets, the major banks (and the lesser ones who avoid loan defaults by never rendering favorable credit decisions) and the large corporations do little, if anything, to encourage innovation, new and emerging business enterprises, the entrepreneurial spirit and the amazing technological breakthroughs, vital productivity and permanent employment opportunities that we create. And they are doing less and less.

As a matter of fact, big business and big government dance together and almost never let small business or emerging enterprises cut in. They are far too busy taking money from the taxpayers, or printing fiat currency, or rolling the dice with the future of the majority of people living in the world, to dance with us. They ignore us. Even though we were the spark that ignited their very existence, they have co-opted our ideas (when they haven't suppressed or outlawed them) and are quite content as long as they can enjoy a high standard of living.

These desk-dominating entrenched dinosaurs are eating the food off of our plates...they are living a lavish lifestyle, and have shut the door behind them -- right in our faces. They offer no help. Ironically, emerging enterprises are the principal source of all economic productivity and true economic growth!

The most essential component of true productivity in any socio-economic system is the entrepreneurial segment. We are the true leaders, the true drivers and the ultimate salvation of a world economy which now serves only a select few at the expense, and to the unconscionable detriment, of many.

For those of you who are paying attention to global economics, you must be wondering how all of these great (but somehow corrupt and hideously incompetent institutions) can't seem to understand this: You cannot get out of debt by incurring more of it. The game of paper shuffling and musical chairs is fast coming unraveled. You must be productive and profitable to turn an economy around. Accounting tricks and frankensteinian "programs" and "restructuring" are merely band aids on cancer.

The entrepreneurial spirit and initiative must be encouraged, supported, stimulated and given resources --

We, the bearers of the only true keys to the creation of a peaceful and prosperous society and a booming, thriving economy, have had our supply lines cut by these large wastrels. They are interested only in keeping their power, their wealth, their freedom... and their domination of all things.

As entrepreneurs and leaders of emerging enterprises, we often get discouraged because we feel too small to be noticed; we feel isolated and lonely. Many formerly creative people have spent so much time on the corporate career path that they find themselves not only unemployed, but feeling helpless -- like de-clawed cats in the lion's den.

The fact is, esteemed colleagues, that as long as we remain isolated from each other, and as long as we are divided we will not be able to get the resources and access which we need to be fully successful.

A small company operating alone does not have the clout to negotiate better pricing from suppliers and insurance carriers, or to attract operating capital, or to hire and pay for all of the talent that they truly need, or to get the services and support that would expedite their growth, or to gain sufficient media coverage and branding that their sales would "go vertical." As isolated creatures, we struggle more than we truly have to, and we are fated to make very slow progress at great risk and expense.

The concept of the GICBC (the Global Interworked Cooperative Business Community) offers the ideal solution. It allows every entrepreneur to retain his or her individual identity, while being a member of a much larger, more powerful group -- virtually an economy unto itself.

Can you picture this? -- An association where each Member promotes each other Member's products and services as well as its own? An association where risks are pooled and shared. An association with the lobbying strength and negotiating power to get what its Members need and want? An association where the Members interact as advisors, partners, mentors, suppliers and customers? An association where every Member can become a voting stakeholder and share in a stream of profits from diversified Member businesses worldwide? A true democracy where every stakeholder has a vote, and where the greatest contributors can rise to the top? A true meritocracy? An association with its own internal sources of capital, insurance and virtually every business service needed to ensure success --- and all at highly-favorable terms?

Can you imagine the vast power and synergy which can be generated by a friendly sharing of resources amongst a huge group of emerging enterprises acting together in harmony and focus???

Join TNNWC's GICBC. Become part of an unstoppable success. Be a Member of a self-sustaining socio-economical system which owns and controls its own resources as a victor, and not as a victim. We can't depend upon government or large corporations to help us. But we can count on each other!

Unite with us. Learn more. Be part of our early-stage development. Membership is free. Click on http://www.thenationalnetworker.com/ or on http://bit.ly/JoinTNNWC


GICBC: STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

United, organized, and democratically self-governing, each of us will be secure, stronger and more prosperous. Working together collaboratively, our resources will grow exponentially, and we will achieve limitless accomplishments and success.

Through Membership in the GICBC, we will each reclaim our lost power…the power to control our own destinies, to realize our dreams and to build the future on our own terms.

Acting harmoniously, and joining our hearts, our hands and our minds, we become far greater than the sum of each of our Members – we have the voice, influence and towering presence of a Giant. And we need no longer be at the mercy of any institution with self-proclaimed authority over our lives, our freedoms and our fortunes.


With The Promise of a Much Better Way,

Adam J. Kovitz, Chairman, and
Douglas Castle, Vice-Chairman
