Dear BizX members,
BizX began as an idea, born on a couch in my Downtown Seattle condo. Our guiding purpose and singular motivator was simple but ambitious: we set out to improve the lives and businesses of our members. In the 14 years since those early days, the world has changed, business has changed, but we remain steadfastly committed to this purpose.
Your computer freezes, shuts off, or just generally does something that it shouldn’t - what do you do?
If you are anything like me, you sit and wonder. Then you might try turning it on and off again. After that, it’s time to start looking for help.
If your computer breaks down, much like if your car breaks down, who are you going to call? Not Ghostbusters, the guy you call is Gilbert Cerda of Knockout PC Repair.
Every business owner has their own story for how they came to where they are today. It probably all started with a dream. That appeal of "being your own boss" and calling all the shots does have a ring to it. But very few know what it is like to own a company before they are hardly old enough to drink. Meet Makayla Thom, the 21-year-old owner of Heritage Blossom's. In the past year she's bought her own company, taken a trip to Italy, jumped into the learning curve of running a shop, oh, and of course, become a member of BizX.
Running a social media campaign can be amazing, expensive, fruitful, and frustrating. Things change in the blink of an eye! What was popular one day will be left and forgotten the next. On top of it all, it can be incredibly time consuming, and who has free time these days?
For those entrepreneurs and business owners out there, shaking their heads in frustration can soon breathe a sigh of relief. Reinforcements are on the way.
The BizX community has many high quality social media experts as members who want to share their expertise with the rest of the community. We brought some of them together to answer the questions that have been driving you batty! Come listen and ask questions to alleviate that social media stress.
Employees act as the face and lifeblood of a company. They need to be motivated, happy and able to work as a team. This leads to more productivity, better retention and ultimately more cash flow for the business.
Most companies turn to activities or team building events of various degrees. At the pinnacle of these sits the king of cohesion, John Chen and Geoteaming, the innovative team building adventure around the sport of geocaching.
