Speaking of Strategy…
Have you read Tony Schwartz’s bestseller The Power of Full Engagement: Managing Energy Not Time Is The Key To High Performance? I might need to check it
out because I was intrigued with his five keys to building Rituals (for me—new,
healthy habits):
1. Target only one or two behaviors at a time.
2. Program for success: Successful small challenges are preferable to ambitious
efforts that fail.
3. Be highly specific: Define the precise behavior you intend to do, the time
you intend to do it, and don’t vary either one.
4. Focus on doing rather than not doing.
5. Cultivate support: Tell at least one person what you are doing and hold your
self accountable by emailing that person every day for 30 days to report your
progress. (And if you need that person to be me, just let me know!)
We’re in a Membership Drive until February 28th which includes free benefits for those who join AND for those who
refer a business or non-profit to the Conifer Chamber. Check
out the details on page 23 of this newsletter.
Hope to see you for our second FeBREWary on Feb. 21st at
Los 3 Garcias! (details on page 10)
Here’s to a prosperous 2013, and thanks for shopping locally!
All My Best,
Dawn Smith, Executive Director

NEW MEMBER SPOTLIGHT:
The Mountain Area Home & Garden Show
At Conifer High School on May 18—19, 2013
(See more information on page 21 of this newsletter)
The Mountain Area Home and Garden Show is an event created by the community for the community. We say the show is by the community because local vendors show their products and
we say for the community because money raised gets put back into the community through the
Evergreen and Conifer Rotary Foundations. Since its inception the Home Show has given back
over $80,000 to the mountain community.
At the show you’ll find vendor show specials, the Mountain Resource Center Food Drive, a recycling event along with Goodwill collecting furniture. They also produce seminars where you
can learn about your areas of interest. Attendee testimonials include, “Great show – keep it
up”, “Good size, just right”, “Well organized”, “Very friendly folks, helpful, no high pressure”.
They also liked the awareness of the non-profits. The Home Show has several non-profits exhibit each year to show what they are doing in the community.
The Home Show is where the community comes to support local businesses. A component of a
healthy community is the support of businesses within the community. So come support our
local businesses and join the fun.

And now a Message from
Your Chairman of the Board:
Stan Foxx
Stan can be reached at 720.635.9310 and
[email protected]
I just read Pastor Lance’s New Year’s Resolution about getting out of shape and how proud he was that he has accomplished that goal so quickly in the New Year. It started me to thinking about all the resolutions I have successfully kept. Nope. Can’t think of a single one. I did manage to quit smoking a couple of decades or so ago but that
wasn’t because of a resolution. I have managed to lose weight a couple hundred times but that wasn’t the result of a
resolution, either. I also put it back on which certainly wasn't a resolution, either. Actually, my weight has ping
ponged most of my adult life and I’ll probably never be in the shape I was in when a bunch of gung-ho Marines at
NAS Cherry Point goaded me into running with them. Good-bye lunch. Hello 3 mile run.
I really don’t believe in resolutions though they do work for a lot of people. I believe in evolutions. That is meaningful change doesn’t come from resolving to do something on a certain day on the calendar, it comes from a gradual
awareness of self; that one needs to do something different or better in order to achieve some goal. Last month I
wrote that January was a good time to reassess and take stock and, while I’m not backing away from that thought,
there is, as a wise man once said, “no time like the present.” If you have evolved to a certain point in your thinking
about a problem, a business or personal issue that makes you stop and think “it’s time to do something,” than, why
wait? Many of us, my own self included, tend to spend a lot of time ruminating, cogitating and reflecting (my apologies to the Rev. Jesse Jackson) when positive action is required.
As February approaches, it’s time to think about the composition of our Board of Directors. As many of you know,
this is a working board and everyone contributes to the success of the Chamber and its many activities. With the
unlimited supply of energy and effort from Dawn Smith, our Executive Director and the help of our Board, 2012 was
a successful year for us. As 2013 begins to take hold, we need at least 3 rock stars to step up and fill the 3 spots that
will become vacant in March. If you have ideas, time, energy, interest and a strong desire to contribute all four to
the betterment of our business community, make yourselves known to either Dawn or myself. In the meantime, I’m
looking forward to FeBREWary at Los 3 Garcias! If it’s anything like OctoBEERfest it should be a hoot.
Happy Valentine’s Day,
Stan
P.S. With all due respect to the West Metro Chamber of Commerce, aren't the speed traps in Morrison a little over
the top? C'mon people, pretty soon no one is going to visit your town. Come to think of it, Conifer hopes you continue busting people for doing 6 in a 5 mph zone.
NEW MONTHLY FEATURE: PRACTICAL TIPS
FROM THE JEFFERSON COUNTY BUSINESS RESOURCE CENTER
Plan to work ON your business not IN your business in 2013
A new year can be new beginnings even if your business is not new. Here are a few tips to
consider:
Shift your focus from day-today details to strategically planning how to grow the business.
Before immersing yourself into a task that is taking a lot to time, ask yourself, “is this activity helping to achieve my goal?” If not drop it or delegate if possible.
Join a “success” team or master mind group to help you review goals and be accountable.
(Check with Jefferson County Business Resource Center on their coming soon Master Mind
Group.
Document the key processes in your business, the critical steps you must do to run the
business smoothly, what can you automate or delegate or do without?
Don’t spend your time reacting; be intentional in how you use your time each day.
Develop a systemized marketing plan including social media. Do not be reactive- karma and
coincidence really do not work when it comes to marketing.
Schedule time for learning, if you stop learning, you’ll stop growing.
The Jefferson County Business Resource Center (JCBRC) is here to help you identify 3 key
questions with your business:
1. What am I doing now that I should continue doing?
2. What am I doing now that I should stop doing?
3. What have I not considered that I should be doing?
Your mission is to be successful; our mission is to help you!

New Member Profile
Bill Budroe
1st Business Funding
303-501-9079
Bill Budroe is the owner of 1st Business Funding (1stbusinessfunding.com), a leading
source for commercial lending of all types, (see list below.)
In today’s world of banking and finance, the small business owner who may have a
need for additional cash flow, or maybe some equipment to keep his business operating, or even wants to buy his own building, has very few options. The banks have
tightened up their commercial lending guidelines, (very similar to how they have put
the squeeze on the residential lending parameters!) to such a degree that there are
very few avenues for the small business owner today.
Bill has over 25 years of financial experience, ranging from residential mortgage, to
Merger and Acquisition financing, to Real Estate and Stock Market Investing, and
more. With this background and his many long lasting acquaintances, he has developed a list of lenders who can help small business owners out in most situations.
Please contact Bill today for a free, no obligation analysis of your financing needs at
303-501-9079 or email at [email protected]
Available types of loans:
Commercial Real Estate Loans, Cash Flow lending, Equipment Leasing, Sale Leasebacks, Heavy Equipment Leasing, Heavy
Equipment Financing, Medical Financing, Accounts Receivable Financing, Factoring, Bridge and Hard Money Loans, SBA
Financing, Business Acquisition Financing, Hotel Financing, Stock Loans, Portfolio Liquidations, Private Equity, Joint Ventures and more.
