Businesses Without Borders

Posted April 2, 2009:

I was privledged to meet with many Grand County-based business owners at Wednesday morning’s Business Without Borders (GBWB) gathering in Granby. I will be joining that organization immediately. So good to see decent people willing to work hard and not give up in this economy. A healthy mindset that reinforces my own. I was able to make some good contacts and even meet with some competitors, who happen to host the GBWB website. It’s worth the $30 I’ll be paying to join and be listed on the site. Competition is good!

I can already see that I’ll be having to modify the http://www.gmnewmedia.com/ website to accomidate some new ideas and thinking absorbed in the meeting.

Last week, immediately after receiving business cards from the printer, I went out and personally contacted 26 small businesses in town who didn’t appear to have websites. I am also considering a small run on the Ski-Hi Daily News website. An ad in the paper itself is simply too expensive for me to absorb at this point. Not that the world is beating a path to the site or this blog at this point, but any ideas out there would be greatly appreciated. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not a salesman.

Six days post-launch and no new clients yet…
