Are you happy? #2

Why I fight for the grassroots.

Or maybe a better headline would be "DO YOU want to be happy? #2"

It occurs to me that to understand what happened next with me and George (see yesterday's post) you need a little bit of background about me. Even if you are in my family there are things you probably don’t know.

First, I believe this little book about startup was divinely inspired. It’s been selling online ever since it first came out and I’ve never had a negative review. Check it out: click or copy and paste into your browser:

Did you have a chance to read yesterday's post? I’m not sure why there were no comments, according to Google it was downloaded over 100 times. Did you see it? I hope you'll share it and this post with any of your friends who are starting in a new direction with their work or who want to make a career change.

I’ll talk more about my background, how my little book came into being, and what all this has to do with happiness on today’s Startup Show. Link to it here at Noon MST (2 p.m. Eastern) or you can watch live or by recording via the same link.

Your positive comments, including constructive criticism, are welcome below:

If you are in Denver now or if you will be soon, join me at one of our Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc's free, live meetings (click here.) No rsvp is ever required, but if you do we will save a seat for you until the start of the meeting. If you have a question about them or anything I post here, call me ok? John Wren (720)495-4949

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MASS FLOURISHING IN COLORADO AND BEYOND POINT OF DYNAMIC PLAN.

Group to start study groups using Edmund Phelps’s new book. Mass Flourishing and James Martin’s Jesuit Guide.

Denver— At an IDEA Salon today, longtime community activist and adult educator John S Wren announced the preliminary 2014 plans for the Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc, a Colorado non-profit. Everyone is invited to comment on the dynamic plans at the free IDEA Salon open discussion meeting, each Friday from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m. at Panera Bread, 13^th & Grant, Denver. Free. For more see http://www.SmallBizChamber.org or call (303)861-1447

“Since 1727 our mission is to strengthen the grassroots in business and politics through adult education,” said Wren. “When people ask me who is our other co-founder, I tell them it’s Ben Franklin. He founded the first startup group in America, he called it the Junto.”

“We’ve now joined the Colorado Association of Commerce and Industry and will be reaching out to the 70 or so local chambers in Colorado who are members of it and others, helping where we can to provide more real help to startups and small businesses, and helping to educate everyone in the community about the realities of the new economy, the return to the vitalism and dynamism that Nobel economist Edmund Phelps talks about in his new book Mass Flourishing, in light of James Martin’s Jesuit Guide, thinking in line with my Daring Mighty Things—The Simplest Way to Start Your First (or Next) New Business, and with what Ben Franklin advocated.

“To promote the study groups, next week we’ll announce a contest we believe will result in more media interest in the Colorado Caucus, the best chance for the common person to serve in elected public office, than we’ve seen in the past. More informed participation from those who are new to Colorado or just new to Colorado politics in our unique, wonderful neighborhood system for nominating to the primary ballot is needed if the grassroots is really going to be restored.”

Wren www.JohnWren.com (303)861-1447  attended Denver Thomas Jefferson High School, Cornell College, the University of Denver (BA’69, MBA’80) and Regis University where he studied adult learning with an education grant from Charles Schwab. He has been trained as a Great Books Discussion leader, and he is one of the founders of Denver Socrates Café, the IDEA Café Startup Workshop, Franklin Circles, and the Jesuit Guide Faith Sharing Groups. He is the co-founder & CEO of the Small Business Chamber of Commerce, Inc. whose purpose is to help people create a Good Living—a useful and necessary product or service, an adequate income, and personal growth. Edmund Phelps, Mass Flourishing, Princeton University Press, 2013.  James Martin, The Jesuit Guide to (Almost) Everything, HarperCollins, 2010. John Wren, Daring Might Things, Creative Space, 1994.

Life is too short for any of us to learn from just our own experience!

Join us this afternoon for the Denver IDEA Cafe Startup Workshop at 3:45 p.m. or the Denver IDEA Startup Salon at 2:30 p.m., both at Panera Bread, 13th & Grant.

Our Small Business Chamber IDEA Cafe is the workshop that I've led here in Denver for nearly 20 years. 5280 Magazine says it's infused Denver with an entrepreneurial spirit. Join us for it any time you're headed in a new direction with your work. We say if we're successful you'll be too busy to come back the next week.

Our new IDEA Startup Salon is an open discussion meeting, we share startup experience about topics that are brought by those attending. Join us anytime you have a problem with your work as you start in a new direction, starting a new career, a new project or campaign, or a new business. Most who attend have already attended an IDEA Cafe, but that is not a requirement.

Right now we also have meetings in Englewood and Boulder County here in metro-Denver, we are getting more serious about getting groups kicked off in other parts of Denver, across Colorado, and possibly beyond. If you'd like our help getting a new group started in cooperation with your local chamber or other group give me a call.

For more information and to RSVP for an upcoming meeting, see http://Meetup.com/Small-Biz-Chamber

See you this afternoon?
