About Biz4NJ, The Garden State's Business Advocate
 
Our Missions and Beliefs

Biz4NJ’s mission is to help Garden State Business Grow in a way that is respectful of people and mindful of the environment. All too often we find captains of industry who are not above poisoning their own children if it meant make a million or two for the corporate machine they serve at the expense of everyday people.

Biz4NJ recognizes the importance & seriousness of the task for business:
Businesses are involved in one of the most challenging and rewarding enterprises undertaken by humankind. For logistics, energy, and risk doing business rivals a Mount Everest expedition. For creativity and vision, it rivals any finely sculpted work of art. The entrepreneurs who launch businesses, like explorers, must be that unique blend of dreamer and doer. They, and everyone involved in the business community, are the contributors to and shapers of our society.

Given this great task Biz4NJ helps Garden State business grow in 4 specific ways:

  1. We publish Biz4NJ.com, an online journal that takes no advertising and is therefore able to take progressive positions because we are not beholden to any external corporate interests. Biz4NJ is also a strategic communications platform for opinion shapers in NJ,and also the professionals who work more closely with Biz4NJ as a collaborative and mutual mentoring group of Specialists & Experts.
  2. Biz4NJ promotes its mentoring Circle, a group of Specialists & Experts in different fields who work more closely together through collaborative business strategy.Membership in this group is by invitation only,but the cost to join is modest to ensure affordability for all.This way professionals actually create opportunities!
  3. Biz4NJ promotes meetings and meeting organizers all over the state. In addition to chambers of commerce, BNI and Le Tip and Network Plus Groups, Biz4NJ also promotes its own monthly meetings beginning with Speaking4Biz a meeting Biz4NJ runs o the last Friday of the month between 8.30 and 10 am, with "Speaking that Connects" a Plainsboro based Speech & Presentation Coaching company.

    Biz4NJ is also promoting “Shop Your Neighborhood meetings in various NJ locations beginning with Princeton and Westfield in NJ.
  4. Biz4NJ rallies businesspeople around big picture issues that are vital to the communities we do business in. These include support for NJ farmers for the marketing of their produce through the Jersey Fresh program, more support for locally owned businesses who can collaborate and grow by working through a Shop Your Neighborhood alliance.

More on Biz4NJ.com: New Jersey’s Business Advocate & Journal,working to help Garden State businesses grow:

It is the goal of Biz4NJ.com to give business people precisely and succinctly the tools to use, and concepts that plant seeds of improvement. We believe in sharing that enormous commercial talent pool lying within our Garden State. Toward that end, we will continue to bring our readers the broadest range of business expertise, and invite their responses in open forum. And if you do not see what you want - just ask for it. (Readers Requests.)No individual should have to ply the waters of commerce alone.

You will notice a refreshing lack of pop-ups, jarring ads, and advertorials on our pages.We believe today's business person is too busy and intelligent to be seduced by such distractions. Instead, Biz4NJ interviews business leaders, and using their expertise, crafts articles which offer solutions and showcase a company's particular talents. This way, both writer and reader are better served.

We further believe in fostering the community of business individuals and companies.Reaching beyond the mere realm of trade, we encourage a sharing and interaction which makes us all stronger. We believe in helping each business, regardless of size, to further connect with its local community. Whatever the field of trade, each of us draws strength from our neighbors, and we encourage such involvement.

No political position or party has a lock on providing the ideal business climate. Biz4NJ takes no sides, rather we deliver news of appropriate legislation and describe its effects.

Finally, we see the business of business as more than profit alone. The worthy company and each employee takes constant assessment of his actions. As shapers of society we owe a moral responsibility to treat our environment with care. Each person our company members and product touches will hopefully be the better for that contact. In short, our business must be a force for not merely for change, but for improvement.

Today, New Jersey is among the globe's leaders in pharmaceuticals, and at the same time, we're one of the top states in recycling and Smart Growth. We strive for balance.Humankind is astoundingly innovative, and our Garden State is home to some of the most innovative minds. Together hopefully we can preserve, and create, and we can solve the many problems ahead of us.

Note from the Editor

     As a writer my career began with interviewing outdoor athletes, adventurers, and explorers. I would return from traipsing alongside these heady folk and spin yarns about their feats and that interesting internal character which drove them.

     Along the way, I also became privileged to meet the many other people who helped make these feats possible. World class mountaineer Reinhold Meisner would never have made the first-ever solo summitting of Everest, had not his wife climbed her way around the whole massive Himalayan terrain taking photos and helping plan strategy.

     Later, several publishers began subtly drawing me into the world of business. Here again I encountered both those exploring entrepreneurs, along with the many dedicated individuals who made each company and project possible. After more than two decades of writing about New Jersey business, I have come to appreciate our unique commercial environment - and the fascinating men and women who labor within it. Whether you're the CEO of one of the state's vast corporations, founder of a small business, or the unsung purchasing agent, working 60 hours a week, whose negotiating saves his company millions; each of you contributes the expertise that makes it happen.

    You all have so much to tell that is vital, it is my humble hope that I may help bring your experiences and stories to light in the way they deserve. I look forward to hearing from you.
