BUSINESSES MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN HOUSTON WITH PLANS TO TAKE IT NATIONWIDE.
We all know how bad our economy has spiraled out of control. This has caused Suffering on a variety of levels for many of us. This has been a wake up call to the reality that our national economy is not serving us as in years past. There is no guaranteed safety net waiting for us when we retire. It can leave us all with an uneasy scary feeling about the future.
So what is the answer to it all if we can’t depend on our jobs to sustain us and our families?
Being self sufficient and joining likeminded others that are doing the same. Supporting one another as we do what we do and creating initiatives and alliances for more people starting their own business and/or entrepreneurships to do the same. This is one of our best options in this day and time, if we are to maintain the lifestyle that we want.
A company that has successfully put this into action is Power in Numbers located in Houston, Texas. I had the honor to recently interview the CEO and Managing Partner of this dynamic company. If you are business in the Houston area, Power In Numbers may be just the Company that can help take your business to the next level. Please check out the interview.
Interview With Jay Davis
1. What is Power In Numbers?
Power In Numbers is an economic development company whose mission is to strengthen the economy by empowering small and mid-size enterprises to thrive and grow in their respective marketplaces. The company focuses on providing solutions to overcoming challenges that are typically faced by small and mid-sized enterprises in areas where there has historically been no political solution. Each and every initiative that is developed and implemented has a significant and measurable economic impact on local and national levels and are planned and strategized by some of the most experienced and respected entrepreneurs that our nation has to offer.
Power In Numbers Flagship Company is the core platform by which the nationwide economic development initiative is developed. The organization was founded by 25 locally owned and/or operated businesses in the Houston, TX metropolitan area. These entrepreneurs decided to offer their knowledge, skills, creativity and resources to build a platform by which the community of SMBs as a whole could grow together through collaborative efforts. This platform was then made available to 974 other owners of local SMB franchises who have the vision, motivation and courage to "lead by example" and pave a new frontier in the marketplace by practicing and promoting "collaborative capitalism". The Power 999 will tour the nation and share its example and the various benefits that are made available by this example to SMBs in 179 other major metropolitan areas nationwide in its "Pay-It-Forward Bi-annual Tour", in alliance with nearly 2000 Chambers of Commerce Nationwide (Beginning with the Greater Houston Partnership).
2. The Power In Numbers Economic Development Initiative features micro- initiatives/programs such as:
"Free" Stimulus Initiative - $2.4 Billion in non-debt encumbered, non-government subsidized interest free and 100% forgivable micro-loans to SMBs. (must be members of a partner Chamber of Commerce)
PIN University - Entrepreneurship Education mirroring the curriculum of the #1 Entrepreneurship Program in the United States (Ranked by the Princeton Review and Entrepreneur Magazine) that includes additional training, tools, modules and mentorship needed by small and mid-sized enterprises to adequately "compete" in the marketplace.
Who's Responsible Global Health and Wellness Initiative - Asks the question, "Who's Responsible for the health and wellness of...(fill in the blank)", and provides solutions to meet the challenges of taking responsibility. Our first program in this initiative is a worksite wellness program that features totally free medical health screenings for employers, employees and their respective families. The screenings can also be extended to include vendors, suppliers, contractors and customers/clients (and their families). The program was patterned after the blueprint laid out by the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) following a comprehensive study showing that the average return on investment for a "well developed program" is 25%. Power In Numbers developed a cost-free program in-line with Texas DSHS requirements and the flagship wellness center is now being built in Houston, TX to facilitate the program. The worksite wellness program will be available to ALL employers and will expand into all 180 metropolitan areas in which Power In Numbers will operate.
Power In Commerce - A cost savings initiative that will feature the procurement of strategically selected products and product lines at 0% markup (for small and mid-sized businesses who are members of partner Chambers of Commerce)
These are just 4 of 12 initiatives that have been developed and are in different stages of implementation over the last 18 years. The Power In Numbers Economic Development Initiative will be officially launching in 2012 and would be honored to preempt our launch by hosting the Honorable President Bill Clinton to speak to our great city on his views on economic development, good citizenship, moral responsibility and various other global issues that have an impact on our society as a whole and our individual lives.
3. December Events:
The event today was just one of 42 events scheduled between December 12, 2011 and December 30, 2011 to introduce the economic development platform to SMBs in the Houston, TX Metropolitan area. There are very distinct benefits of enrolling as a Flagship Member (which is only open to Houston-based businesses) that can only be disclosed under the constraint of a very strict non-disclosure/confidentiality agreement. Businesses are responding extremely well. Our biggest challenge at this point is getting the volume of businesses that we would like to attend.
January Events:The announcement came on Jan 31st that the Power In Numers Flagship Company is offering five (5) SMB's the opportunity to receive a 40K fully forgivable Microloan@ zero percent interest for their business, based purely on the merit of their business model or product/service- idea. Funding is available for enterprises in ANY INDUSTRY including start-ups.
