Episode Description
Recently, I did a show in DC to inquire as to the State of Small Businesses in the USA. In August of 2020, the NY Times published an article entitled, "One Third of New York's Small Businesses May Be Gone Forever". Forever is a long time and NYC is a huge market sector in this country not too mention the main gateway of the nations entering this nation. This article is now 2 months removed from the statistics contained within and the across the board impact on NYC has been devastating to say the least. During this show West, will be inquiring about East. Los Angeles and NYC make up the two largest marketplaces in the USA and both of them have been rocked by the COVID19 "Customer Shutdown". This week my guest's will include an Influencer, an Advocate and a Restaurant Owner that are a part of a community of thousands of small businesses in the Big Apple who are still working through one of the largest bombs to ever hit NYC. We need to find out the condition of the Big Apple.

BizZne$$ BuzZ is all about your business. Small business is in trouble and they have been as far back as the “rocking” that occurred in 2008. The 14.2 percent loss of many brick and mortar small businesses happened by the year 2015 (source, NFIB 2015 Report). Already being squeezed by Internet predators, like Amazon, E-Bay, etc. They are literally sucking the life out of small businesses by customer and profit “siphoning.” B2B Networking Groups and social media disappointments abound.
Small business needs a “counter” to these E-commerce tsunamis and that mechanism is the power of UNITY, RELATIONSHIP and the Law of RECIPROCITY. This is an EDGE that is a non-compete. The “perfect storm” of shut down/customer distancing, lack of capital and uncertainty are the devastating effects of COVID19 disruption.
Our mission is to provide your business the boost that it needs to recapture your personal visions, rejuvenate your operations and to bring about a platform that represents your interests.
