This spring NMBC conducted an in-depth survey of Boulder County businesses that was published in the June 1999 Issue of the “Boulder County Business Report.” Click Here to go to the on-line issue and read how to better meet the challenges associated with managing your human resources. A Success Story Earlier this year, NMBC took on a project to develop and implement a Human Resources System for Twin Peaks Excavating, Inc. At that time it was as if they were “at the mercy of the labor force.” It was very difficult to keep 8 eight-person crews manned with competent workers. Finding experienced help, retention, attendance and tardiness were major problems. Well, we are proud to say that due to changes in the way they manage their human resources, brought about by the NMBC customized HR System, labor related issues have been significantly reduced. In fact, not only have they been able to keep 8 crews running with competent and reliable workers, but they have also added a 9 th crew. The word has quickly spread through the local grapevine that Twin Peaks Excavating is now the company for whom to work. We at NMBC are very proud of this success story.

Schell, Lafayette, CO “Now That’s A Good Question!” Business owners continually ask us at NMBC some very good questions. One of our goals is to answer those questions. Therefore, in every newsletter we will select a question, or two, for NMBC’s Founders, Bruce Gillmore and Mick Lierley to answer. Please see the reverse side for instructions on how to submit your question(s). Q: How Do I extend the life cycle of my business? A: A business, much like a person, has a life cycle. Generally, a business will go through the stages of Introduction (birth), Growth (childhood & adolescence), Maturity (adulthood), Decline (old age), and Abandonment (death). If a business can survive the Introduction stage and evolve into the Growth stage it would be considered a success. Most new businesses (up to a reported 75%-90%) do not survive the Introduction stage. A good rule of thumb for a successful Introduction phase for a business would be 2-3 years. Unlike a person, a business does not have an inevitable timeline of development. The Introduction and Growth stages may vary by years from one business to another. Likewise, the Maturity stage of a business is not predetermined, and can be extended through proper management and foresight. One could view proactive management as a veritable “Business Fountain of Youth”! As a business evolves from one stage to the next, new problems and opportunities present themselves. These times can be both exciting and stressful, and this is precisely when NMBC can be most helpful. From time to time, take a moment and ascertain your business’s life cycle. Q: Why is it “Risk Free” to do business with New Millennium Business Consultants? A: NMBC does not work on a billed-hours basis, but rather we provide solutions in the form of pre-defined deliverables. That combined with the client not being charged for a deliverable, until it has been accepted with complete satisfaction, is why there is really no risk in doing business with NMBC. Obviously, we are very confident in our ability to completely satisfy our clients with solutions that really work. …………………..
