Naturally New York’s Post

The power of a strong support system can transform not just your business but your entire life. Helen Rudd, Founder of Prominent PR, shares how joining Vistage UK was more than just networking—it was a lifeline. Her peers and Vistage Chair Stephen Norris became her pillars of strength, guiding her through the storms of running a business amidst challenges like the pandemic, maternity, and significant shifts. With Vistage, every setback became a stepping stone to a new chapter. Helen's journey is a testament to the life-changing impact of having a community that believes in you, motivates you, and helps you rediscover your inner strength. It's not just about business; it's about finding the courage to thrive. #Entrepreneurship #Leadership #BusinessGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #WomenInBusiness Link to Helen's story: https://lnkd.in/eYRDw-bn

🌱 Empowering Entrepreneurs Through Strategic Community Management 🏢 Strategic community management isn’t just about funding—it’s about creating a support system for long-term success. Did you know that access to networks is the second most important factor for the success of Black entrepreneurs, right after access to capital? (Source: McKinsey & Company). These communities help underrepresented entrepreneurs access the mentorship AND capital they need to thrive. How is your company supporting your communities of entrepreneurs or suppliers through your existing mentorship, leadership and/or development programs? Let’s explore ways to build a stronger, more empowering network! 🔗 www.Notedd.com #CommunityManagement #CSR #UnderrepresentedEntrepreneurs #SupplierInclusion #InclusiveLeadership #BusinessGrowth

If you’re a Christian entrepreneur, you know this… . . . Creating a Faith-Driven Businesses is hard! .

This is who we've become: a close-knit family. #RedemptiveBusiness #CommunityTransformation #KingdomValues #BranchesFamily #SupportEachOther"

We loved the lessons on #trust we learned from Christopher Elder of Elder Construction, Inc. An oldie, but a goodie... "Trust each other with your lives. Trust each other with the money." That’s not just a quote—it’s the mantra Chris Elder, his twin brother Patrick Elder, and their lifelong friend Austin live by. Their entrepreneurial journey is built on this rare kind of trust, forged over 30 years. But trust alone isn't the secret. It’s about navigating challenges through brutally honest conversations, embracing each other's quirks as strengths, and always—no matter what—putting the team first. Their approach isn't just a recipe for business success; it's a blueprint for building a resilient community that thrives together. The takeaway? Trust deeply, talk openly, embrace the differences, and always back your people. #Leadership #Teamwork #Entrepreneurship Gail Montgomery #gotyourback Bruce Montgomery
