JohnWren.com +Recover+Start+Grow+Flourish+: Startup Show-- Today on Contemplative Imagination ...: CORRECTION: Startup Show will now be on at 12:30 p.m. each day instead of 12:15 as originally announced. Sorry if that cause you a problem. ...

An announcement in celebration of MLK.

Today I'm making an annoncement about a chage I'm suggesting we make on the way we celebrate Martin Luther King Day given the pantheon of American Heros who devoted there lives to give us our freedom, starting with Benjamin Franklin who's birthday yesterday and every January 17 is celebrated more by the breach than the observance as Shakespeare put it about another hero long, long ago.

I've also decided to make this announcement about the SBCC and the Startup Show:

Today 1st Monday of daily version of the Startup Show, changing the time of the half hour show to 12:15 pm Mountain.

The focus will be on the Good News for tomorrow, the Good News in work, family, neighborhoods, communities, and nations.

I believe there is hope for Good News tomorrow because of the research I've been inspired to do over the last 20+ years that has resulted in the discovery of what I'm now calling the SBCC Spiritual Startup Method's 4 Practices: Faith, Imagination, Thinking, and Life-long Learning.

Today on the Startup Show-the practice of Imagination.

We'll also talk about this at Root & Branch discussion meeting this afternoon, open to anyone who is interested in a spiritual way of living.

For more about the show and the meeting see http://Meetup.com/Small-Biz-Chamber

Next week we will begin having guests on the Startup Show each day.

If you'd like to be on the show to share your startup experience, or if you have a suggestion for who we should invite, call me on the Startup Line, (303)861-1447.

Happy 310th birthday Ben Franklin!

Ben Franklin 1706- 1798 Icon by Mike, see link to his web page at the bottom of this page. Thanks Mike!

True-thinking.

There is true-thinking, some call it being awake, then there is ism-thinking, close minded, playing a pat hand, only attracted to reinforcement of preconceived conclusions, true believers on the left and right who have substituted political beliefs for belief in a higher power.

Belief in a higher power means belief in one's own spiritual experience with or without being an active member of an organized religion.

Free spirits who are totally outside any structure are choosing what is for most of us a more dangerous path, for more see Ronald Rolheiser's The Holy Longing.

Or join us tomorrow (or any Monday) here in Denver for Root & Branch, free open discussion meeting about the spiritual path of the 12-steps and meditation.

Our mission and purpose:

The mission of your new, free Small Business Chamber of Commerce (no dues or fees for membership, we intend to be self-supporting through fully disclosed voluntary contributions so the help we provide is available to everyone) is to strengthen the voice of the grassroots in business and politics.

We cooperate with local chambers and other groups to organize low cost/ no cost IDEA Startup Workshops, Franklin Circles (Peer Advisory Groups), and Root & Branch Recovery Faith Sharing Groups.

Our purpose is to do Good Work and to help others do Good Work, too. Good Work provides: 1) useful products and services for customers, and 2) for all involved in the business (owners, employees, and suppliers) an adequate income and an opportunity for learning and personal growth, all for the greater glory of our God as we each understand God.

For more see E.F. Schumacher's book Small is Beautiful and James Martin's book the Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything.

Ways We Can Help You.

PUBLIC SPEAKING: invite us to talk about startup and business creativity at your next chamber, association, or club meeting.

GROUP FACILITATION: let us lead the next meeting in your company when you need fresh, powerful, new ideas.

ORGANIZATION AND FACILITATION: IDEA Salons, open discussion groups about startup. IDEA Cafe Startup Workshops.

THE STARTUP LINE: (303)861-1447. Help for YOU as you start in a new direction with your career, starting a new project or campaign, or starting a new business.

ASSISTANCE FOR LOCAL CHAMBERS and others to start new IDEA Startup Workshops and Franklin Circles.

Want to be guest on Startup Show?

To: All who want to be on the Startup Show.

Google+ Suggests that for each show we:

✓ Make sure all participants have set up a Google account, with a Google+ profile, and have uploaded a profile photo. ✓ Make sure all participants have added you to their Circles, and you have added them. ✓ Make sure your participants who aren’t using the Chrome browser download and install the Hangouts plugin before the broadcast. ✓ Microphone quality is also important for voice clarity -- if they’re using the default microphone on an old computer, they may need to upgrade and use an external microphone instead. ✓ The biggest distraction in a Hangout On Air is background noise and feedback. Ask all participants to use headphones or earbuds. For more see http://plus.google.com

Once you have met these requirements, call us and leave a complete message about who you are and why you think those who watch The Startup Show would be interested in what you have to say. We are primarily interested in scheduling people who have started a business who are willing to share their experience. Call us at (303)861-1447
