A reader of the blog, asked me this today at 7-11? "I'm following a long with you a little on the Collective Buying Power process, I'm convinced that's a humongous market, with a ton of stuff up for grabs. Most people should understand that. What you need to do? Get people interested in an organic growth strategy. Most people have no idea what your talking about when you say organic growth." After my friend left, I started thinking to myself..AGAIN.."I can sniff this process taking off, or maybe that's just me?"
I made a very conscious decision when I left Texas and came back to Las Vegas. I told myself this. "I'm going to live or die with what this town provides me. No matter what. Las Vegas is my home." If your going to thrive in an environment like Vegas, you better have a plan. Organic Growth is that plan. OG always starts from within, once you've convinced yourself? It's simple, convince other people that your idea would be beneficial for them. If it was only that simple?
Las Vegas is a town that is changing, everyone knows that! The prevailing attitude in Las Vegas? Out with the old, in with the new. Maybe I should say it like this? "Change is the one constant in life, it can be good or bad. It depends how you choose to handle it. Some people can benefit from change. Most of your successful entrepreneurs and innovators started street level. The one thing they were looking for in the very beginning? Organic growth." I'm sorry, I got on my soapbox again. My cousin Sally puts it like this.."Give it Up! Know one cares about your stupid organic growth strategies. Stick with the stories, get in front of a mirror, and practice your stand-up! You got a lot better chance being a comedian than an entrepreneur!" Oh well, she's my cousin Sally, and I love her.
I'm going to close this post with a brief excerpt of a conversation I had with one of my regulars at 7-11..He's a big fan of the blog.."Is your ex-wife really planning on coming out here and helping you get this thing going?" I answered yes. His reply? "Man that must be one helluva of an ex-wife."
