Welcome

As we near our 1st anniversary, I wanted to tell everyone how proud I am of how far we've come; the hurdles we have jumped and how positive I feel about our future together.

Building a business group is not an easy task. And just like any other start-up, we have faced and will continue to face challenges to continue our success and growth.

We must continually commit ourselves to improvement. Improvement in administrative, organizational, and financial issues. Of paramount importance is also how we communicate with each other, the group as a whole and to our business community. We must also be aware of any charity opportunities that we could provide a benefit.

With each new member must also come a renewed spirit of cooperation, understanding and open-mindedness to new ideas, all with the common goal of increased business for our member businesses.

We consider membership in LCBP to be a privilege, and it should also be highly profitable for all our members. Remember, it all starts with you. We are not a business group for someone to join so they can get leads for their business. To continue our success, members must be passionate about building their businesses by helping others. It requires the long-term dedication and commitment to be actively involved in promoting one another's businesses as well as our own. The adage "the more you give, the more you receive" has never been more true than with LCBP.

Keep in mind that although our meetings are confidential, this blog is in the public domain, and it should be our public voice to the business community. Feel free to "advertise" your products or services here. If you have a great new service or product that you are introducing, feel free to write about it. Give raving testimonials about your fellow LCBP members, write about a business subject you are passionate about, or just communicate with us about what's on your mind.It is also open for the public to comment, and feel free to provide the address to anyone you would like.

Wishing you all the best in business. Dan Tolman, President, LCBP
