How We Got Started
I have always been an entrepreneur, even when I worked for someone else. I own and operate small businesses under the blanket company, Aslan Enterprizes. Whether working for someone else or myself, I have always been involved in some aspect of coaching, teaching, speaking, or training.
When the opportunity to become a Founding Member of The John Maxwell Team presented itself, I jumped at it. Not only have I been trained, mentored, and coached by John Maxwell and his team, the process continues on. I am always learning and growing. The process never stops! Now I want to take what John has taught me and share it with you.

I am using the pro version. It helps to have a fast processor, a good high speed internet connection, and preferably someone
who knows Zoom very well
who can run it for you from behind the scenes so you can focus on your presentation. Use a good quality mic. Place your camera where you can look directly into it. If you need notes, place them at the same level as your camera, maybe on either side of your monitor/camera, or just behind the monitor/camera perhaps on the wall/white board/or where ever so you can read them without having to look away from the camera. Use plenty of indirect lighting, especially if you are using the green screen function. In the version that I am using, you can choose to have a "virtual" background of any picture you would like. I use this function because I don't currently have a green screen set up in my office. I use a background to give a more professional look. If you are using the free version, be aware that your meeting time is limited to 40 minutes and less than 100 people. The pro version doesn't have these limitations. Always practice before hand with some friends or family who don't mind being test subjects. You want to make sure that you are very familiar with Zoom and how it works, especially if you don't have an assistant and are having to run it yourself. Not too long before your presentation check to see that everything is working OK - another "dry" run. Bob Cummings has some more great suggestions as do some others. The latest version of Zoom has dealt with most of the security issues. So, make sure that is the version you are using. Hop this long answer helps.... :)

It can all depend upon whether you are in an area where the virus is prevalent or not. I seldom shake hands regardless of the situation. At most networking events that I attend, people just walk up to one another and start talking - when they get a chance. Introductions often come as part of the conversation. Many times everyone will have a name tag listing their name and company. I would not shake hands, but if you do have some hand sanitizer to use before partaking of any food. Of course follow the recommended protocol from the health agencies. Always wash your hands when you can. I am surprised at how many people don't do this. Don't touch your mouth, face, etc. Be aware of the various locations/surfaces that you touch that could harbor germs - good practice all the time. One more thing - are you in good health? If not, don't go. It is those whose immune systems are compromised who are at the greatest risk for contacting any virus, etc. Take lots of vitamin C, B12, zinc, etc.

Well, contrary to popular belief, lack of money or funding is not the number one reason or barrier to sustainable growth. It is the lack of the business owner or entrepreneur taking responsibility for the grow of the company or his/her growth. One can only grow or lead a business or themselves to the level of their leadership ability. To grow the business or themselves the owner or entrepreneur needs to take the responsibility to increase their leadership ability. They need to grow themselves before they can grow the business or their entrepreneurship.

What it really took to run a business. What was really require before even starting. What the basic groundwork was that should have been laid. How to lay a good foundation. I learned the hard way instead of hiring a business consultant to advise me. Now I am one and as a business consultant I find that so many businesses still don't know and therefore still haven't laid the proper ground work prior to starting. There are some basic things that should be done when starting a business. Many of the businesses that I deal with haven't done this. Now that they are up and running they are finding that they aren't proceeding as expected because they didn't do the proper ground work. They have a poor foundation and thus the business is suffering.
I have considered BNI. I visited the closest one to me. However, considering that it is over an hour one way from where I live and the rules that they have regarding attendance & missing meetings, etc. I couldn't justify the cost for me. That is why I like Alignable. BNI is a great...

I have considered BNI. I visited the closest one to me. However, considering that it is over an hour one way from where I live and the rules that they have regarding attendance & missing meetings, etc. I couldn't justify the cost for me. That is why I like Alignable. BNI is a great organization and works for many. It just wasn't the right fit for me. I will say that Dr. Ivan Misner (founder of BNI) was awarded the John Maxwell Leadership Award. As a John Maxwell Team member, I was there when Dr. Misner received the award. Dr. Misner has remained in contact with the JMT and has provided teachings and resources for JMT members.

You have already received some very good answers. I echo them. One thing you should do is determine why you want to add a related business. In other words, what is your WHY? Next, how do they relate? Is one filling a void that the other one doesn't meet? Do they complement one another or would they compete. Is there a market/niche for the new business and if so what/where? A lot depends upon what the businesses are. Once you have answered these questions, and a few more, you would be ready to start if the answers were positive/favorable towards the additional business. Then you should lay out a written business plan. There are two very important elements that should not be left out. In fact they should be done first. One is a vision statement and the other is a mission statement - they are not the same. They are different and they should both be WRITTEN. I would create a binder that includes your vision statement, your mission statement, and your business plan - something that you can hand to anyone and they can read it. FIY - if you go to a lending institution to borrow money, one of the first things they will want to see is this binder. Do this regardless of how many employees you have or don't have. If you do have employees, I would also create an operations manual that has in writing how you do things. Again another reference item for employees so there is no misunderstanding how the business is operated. These are just the beginning basics which I hope you did for your other business.
