We had the privilege of hearing from Tia Polvorosa, owner of Provici Cosmetics; speak at the March MFBC keynote. The focus was on building your business while supporting the community. She gave us guidance on how to focus within each of the key areas to most benefit our growing businesses. The key topics and questions to reflect upon set the foundation for growing your business while supporting one another, and sharing your business success.
The first thought provoking topic was our plan for identifying ourselves as individuals in our areas of business. She asked us to reflect upon our intention for our business. What type of reputation we are establishing? How do we want to be known within the community? Do we know our niche and what sets our product or service apart? How do our customers or fellow businesses speak about us?
The message was clear in that, when we share and support one another we all succeed. She asked how we connecting with one another. This had us all thinking about our individual contributions. Are we spending our time with like-minded individuals? What organizations, sports teams or clubs are we contributing to or are a part of? What positive compliments or support have we shared with one another? How are we giving back?
Lastly, Tia had us interacting with the other like-minded business leaders in the room with a fun and valuable exercise leaving us with an action plan: To grow, what action will we take to spread the word about our business? Who can we share our business with that we do not yet know? She challenged us to regularly support a business by letting someone else know about a positive experience we personally had and why.
Tia was engaging and dynamic leaving the room buzzing with energy. Her presentation was of great value to the members of the MFBC and business owners in attendance. If you were unable to attend set your calendars for the next MFBC event on April 18th.
