Allan Crumes introduced our speaker, Dan Blanchard, a motivational speaker and small business coach. Dan has been coaching small businesses since 1980 and gave his presentation on the “Power of Winnable Games”. Dan’s theory was that people get motivated by games and competition, but don’t treat accomplishing tasks towards a goal with the same enthusiasm. Any endeavor in life can be organized as a game. You need to : 1. Have a big idea; 2. Develop a method to accomplish what you set out to do; and 3. Keep score every day. |

Marty introduced our speaker, John Fischer, Assistant Director of Economic Development for Metro Louisville. John is responsible for orchestrating the “COOL Program” which stands for “Corridors of Opportunity in Louisville.” His group identifies retail development sites, recruits retail services and developers, provides demographic and other information for site selection and introduces financial and infrastructure incentives. The mayor’s office realizes the importance of developing retail sites within neighborhoods for employment opportunities and maintaining the vibrancy of our neighborhoods. The projects are multi-faceted, working with zoning, MSD and the retail operations themselves. |
