What about the free Facebook community?

Sorry, not happening. Why not?

Because the number one threat to your business value is a breach of confidentiality. If employees, customers, or even supplies get the idea that you may be moving on from your business, they will start moving on from it first. Never mind that it may be 3-4 years off or longer. Even a few group members can start liking and sharing, and the next thing you know it is all over Facebook that you are thinking about preparing the business for sale.

Is this a risk with a private Facebook group with probably never more than a few dozen members at a time? You bet. You never know how the Kevin Bacon 6 degrees of connection game is going to play out for you, and it’s not worth finding out.

That might all seem a bit paranoid, but that’s the way I treat your confidence (and your largest capital asset). Does it deserve anything less?

OK, so what resources DO we have? Enough to keep you busy for quite a while!

 

If you are located in the Virginia Peninsula, then you’re welcome to join the

VA Peninsula Small Businesses group

on Facebook, since there is no suggestion by being there that you need help. You might even be able to give some. It’s mostly a no-agenda group where you are welcome to meet other owners and let people know what you do.

If you don’t know where the Peninsula is, it’s between Richmond and Norfolk. If you are actually from those areas and want to network with owners within a readonable driving distance, come on in. Ditto for the Nrthern Neck and Middle Peninsula. We’ve got nothing against NoVA but it’s already got tons of networking groups going and it’s too far to drive from here for coffee!
