All too often, it seems that we throw around words in the business community that, especially in an election cycle, tend to have more panache than practical application.  Sustainability is one such word.  Depending upon to whom you are speaking, sustainability can mean “green“, or “eco-friendly“.  And, if that’s all one intends to convey, no harm – no foul.  But to limit the value of not only the word, but what it can really mean to a business… would be a mistake of gigantic proportions.

James Fischer is the founder of the Growth Curve Institute, a consulting/training firm that teaches business owners how to navigate the growth of their business by first understanding the very different dynamics created as growth occurs.  His Sustainable Growth League (SGL) is an executive leader organization that supports owners and executives of companies from 2-350+ employees.  In the monthly training meetings of the SGL’s, Fischer offers knowledge, tools, methods, skills and expertise required to create continuous transformation and positive growth.

Fischer is opening up 4 new SGL’s, and is currently accepting registrations.  There will be sessions held monthly in Boulder, North Denver, South Denver and Colorado Springs in Colorado.  To find out more information, or to register for an SGL in your area, please visit www.SustainableBusinessGrowth.com.

Bean There – Still There

Denver-based Boyer’s Coffee is another model for sustainability in business today.  Yes, they do everything within their ability to reduce waste and maximize productivity, too.  But even more importantly, their partnerships with other companies as well as their waste-reducing efforts have allowed them to experience much higher gross margins, which allow them to employ more workers and pay those workers well enough to ensure their longevity.

Sustainability is a word that could be used to describe the prospect of a company being in business at some future point in time.  In that respect, Boyer’s Coffee is serving up a smooth business plan, and their future is truly roasting!  To learn more about Boyer’s Coffee, please visit www.BoyersCoffee.com.
