LeadershipGoal Setting - A few quick tips to make your 2010 a successful year!In December at a Chamber U event, wediscussed ideas around staying motivatedin a difficult economy. Since then I haveread several articles on goal setting in 2010.The sentiment is always the same: get upearlier, work faster, write down your goals,make a plan and work it, etc. While thisadvice appeals to the logical part of me, Istill have a sense that something is missing.nonprofit with a mission of helping addicts and alcoholicsrecover and reenter the workforce. The speaker was a recoveringalcoholic and talked about a time in his life when hewas trying to get back on his feet. He said that when he gotout of treatment his first goal was to “get a job”. After he gota job his only goal was to “show up” every day for that job.At that point in his life, these goals were realistic for him. Hemet them and continued to set realistic goals. He is now ana executive at a large Twin Cities organization.I remember when I started my first sales job out of college. I announcedto my manager that my goal was be first in the regionby the end of the year. There were sixty-eight people in myregion. They all knew more about our product than I did. Andthey had better sales skills than me. The only thing I had onsome of them was blind ambition. I did not finish the year first,in the top ten, or even the top half.The statement to my manager was more an act designed to coverup my insecurities than a goal for the year. In observation, itseems that often people set goals that “sound good” or are basedon what they think their goals “should be” rather than actuallysitting down and thinking about what they really want and whatis realistic.If you want to use your goals as a tool to motivate you, considerasking yourself the following questions:1) Are my goals honestly within reach? Given my skills andexperience level, my goal of being first in the region by theend of the year was not in reach. I recently heard a speakerat a Rebuild Resources event. Rebuild Resources is a local2) Are my goals mine? One of my closest friends became a lawyerbecause that is what her father wanted for her. After afew years on the job and $100,000 in law school debt, shecouldn’t do it anymore and quit. She now works with studentsand loves it.3) Are both my heart and mind bought into the goals? The litmustest is how we feel when we think about achieving ourgoals. For me it is the right mixture of excitement and fear,excitement about achieving the goal and fear about the prospectof falling short.Whether or not we reach our goals influences how we thinkabout ourselves. How we think about ourselves affects everything,so proceed with cautious optimism versus blind ambitionand we can look forward to accomplishing our goals in 2010.Patrick Finnegan is a Senior Consultant with Dale CarnegieTraining, he can be reached at patrick.finnegan@dalecarnegie.comor 952-548-5626.New Members Recognized at March Luncheon - Ambassadors greet some of our February joineesAt the March General Membership Luncheon & Annual Meeting,some of our Ambassadors were on hand to greet some of our newestmembers who joined during the month of February.

Public PolicyIt’s Time For Trucks and Trade to Move ForwardBy Tom Donohue, President & CEO, US ChamberAmericans take pride in living in a country that keeps its word,but sometimes we fall short. Last year, Congress voted to terminatethe U.S.-Mexico cross-border trucking program that wasagreed to as part of NAFTA. Under this agreement, the UnitedStates and Mexico were to grant highway access to safe, properlyinspected trucks from the other country. The idea was to facilitatethe flow of goods, increase trading opportunities, and reduceshipping costs.When trading partners don’t keep their commitments, bad thingshappen. Mexico retaliated against America’s reneged promise byplacing tariffs on 89 products, from strawberries to sunglasses,potentially costing more than 25,000 U.S. jobs. With unemploymentnear 10%, that’s the last thing our workers need right now.There used to be a Washington consensus in favor of trade becauseit creates jobs, increases consumer choices, and saves Americansmoney. Trade still delivers all those benefits, but the consensus hasbeen destroyed by partisan politics, special interest agendas, and afear of competing. We need to get back on track.If our elected officials are serious about creating good jobs, theymust revive and advance a comprehensive trade agenda that willbenefit all Americans. They can start by enacting--at long last--pending agreements with Colombia, Panama, and South Korea.These deals have already been negotiated, and the terms are incrediblyfavorable to the United States. Our foreign competitors--including the European Union and Canada--will soon enact theirown accords with these countries. The U.S. Chamber estimatesthat more than 380,000 Americans will lose their jobs if we fail toenact our own agreements while our competitors move forward.In addition, lawmakers should reject policies--such as Buy American--thatwould put us on a path toward economic isolationism.Beyond our borders you will find 95% of the world’s customers,87% of its economic growth, and 73% of its buying power. Weshould break down the barriers that keep our companies out ofthese markets.Finally, we must do more to support small businesses that areready to do business overseas. While a quarter-million small andmidsize companies currently export, that’s just one in every 100U.S. small businesses. Many more should be pursuing opportunitiesabroad.The case for increasing American exports is rock solid--of the 5.9%increase in GDP that we enjoyed in the fourth quarter of 2009,2.32% of it was due to exports. It’s time to build on this successby pursuing a trade agenda that can jump-start the economy andcreate the jobs we so desperately need.Small Business’ Connection to AnswersJeff Baana has an ambition. He recently left his job to start his own business.He hopes to manufacture log beds and complete other remodeling jobs. Notsurprising, he has plenty of basic questions about how to get his business off theground. And he faces the specific challenge of being short $2,000 for supplies.Enter BusinessConnection. This service, free toall Minnesota businesses, is intended to be asingle-entry point to help businesses connectwith private and public resources to solveeveryday business problems, particularlythose related to state and local government.This project of Grow Minnesota! was developed jointly and is co-sponsored withthe Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. GrowMinnesota! is the private-sector business retention and economic developmentinitiative of the Minnesota of Commerce, the state’s largest business advocacyorganization. The resource is available online via mnbizconnect.com and at (888)MINN-BIZ.BusinessConnection provides a bridge, connecting companies and the businessassistance services provided by a myriad of public and private entities. Our goal isto provide complete answers quickly. Individuals have a couple of options. Theycan do a keyword search at our online portal. They can also search the website byviewing its most frequently asked questions. Or they can contact us directly viaemail that’s available through the website or the toll-free number.The “new economy” is resulting in many new business initiatives. So it’s notsurprising that our most frequent questions pertain to business start-ups includingfunding and licensing. Our assistance is not limited to starting a business. Weare a go-to service for information ranging from how to expand or sell a businessto securing permits and patents to providing direction on human resources andmarketing issues. When asked about issues specific to an organization, Business-Connection does the research with key contacts across Minnesota, especially localchambers of commerce. BusinessConnection got its beginning about two yearsago as an outgrowth of Grow Minnesota!, the Minnesota Chamber’s initiative thatfocuses on job retention and creation. The focus of Grow Minnesota! is businessretention visits. We did almost 900 of them last year. Our conversations with businessowners or managers are twofold: first, we thank them for their investmentin Minnesota and, second, we see if there are problems related to doing businessin our state that we can help solve. What we hear from these businesses alsohelps identify economic trends and shape the Minnesota Chamber’s public policyagenda.Grow Minnesota! visits, though tremendously successful, underscored two facts.We were fielding more and more requests for business assistance. And we recognizedwe were reaching only a fraction of Minnesota companies. There are over100,000. We see less than 1,000 per year. BusinessConnection was launched.Our marketing focus is the 99,000+ businesses that didn’t have the opportunityto visit last year.As for Baana, we did not directly have the $2,000 he needs. But we were familiarwith “The Guide to Starting a Businesses in Minnesota,” a great resource producedby the Department of Employment and Economic Development. We identifiedpotential funding sources, then forwarded contact information for the Small BusinessAdministration, Urban Initiative Program and other organizations. And, ofcourse, Baana knows we’re a resource for other everyday business problems thathe encounters. We’re only a telephone call or keystroke away.Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce • 11455 Viking Dr. #270, Eden Prairie, MN 55344Ph: 952-944-2830 • Fax: 952-944-0229 • Website: www.epchamber.org7

Community BuildingSPOTLIGHT ON A MEMBER:Bremer Bank - Chamber Member Since 1979!In 1929 Otto Bremer, chairman and owner of American NationalBank (now known as Bremer Bank) wanted small-townbanks to thrive on their own, separate from gigantic holdingcompany that set guidelines from afar and didn’t know thefamilies who sat at loan officers’ desks. In the days followingthe stock market crash, banks were hard pressed for money.By the early 1930’s, he had invested in 55 small-town banksin the Upper Midwest and had pledged all his personal assetsas security for loans to those banks. Bremer continuedhis policies of little interference in the running of the banks,helping banks in shrinking towns consolidate and cut losses,accepting no salary for his service, supporting extended creditto families in hardship and making it possible for many farmfamilies to remain on their extensively mortgaged land.Otto believed that people could survive and flourish if theyhad help at crucial times. His philosophy was simple: “Banksshould be home banks; not bigger banks, but better banks.”In 1943, Otto Bremer created a bank-holding company, the Otto Bremer Company, to consolidate his stake in the countrybanks, giving the banks the advantage of acting as a group and avoiding their sale after his death. Otto’s concern extendedbeyond the banks to the communities that surrounded them. Otto wanted to increase the benefits of living in a communitywith a Bremer Bank. To do that he created the Otto Bremer Foundation, headquartered in St. Paul. The Foundation uses aportion of the profits generated by the bank’s to make grants to nonprofits in local communities within Bremer’s footprint.Clients in Minnesota, North Dakota and Wisconsin have come to count on Bremer for a comprehensive range of banking,trust, insurance, and investment services. In communities large and small, we strive to provide access to the financial productsand services our clients need.Otto Bremer once said, “To serve our clients, we must also serve their communities.” Today, that philosophy lives on asBremer employees actively meet the needs of both clients and communities. Bremer employees continually take action toconnect the company, its clients and the broader community each day. The spirit of giving back also inspires Bremer employeesto take action through volunteering. From helping out food shelves and flood relief efforts, to lending a hand at localcharities, churches and nonprofits, its one more way employees at Bremer help to build healthier communities. That’s whatwe mean by taking action.Bremer clients can take great pride in knowing that they have a relationship that extends beyond traditional banking intotheir local communities. With nearly 2,000 dedicated employees who today deliver outstanding customer service, volunteerfor local nonprofits and make investments in the long-term health of the communities where they live and work. Doingbusiness with Bremer Bank fuels grants and charitable contributions that are made close to home by the Otto Bremer Foundation.In 2009 the Foundation gave away roughly $23.5 million in more than 700 grants. To this end, Bremer Bank andthe Otto Bremer Foundation work in concert. Communities, clients and employees all benefit – just the way Otto Bremerwould have wanted.Eden Prairie Chamber has one of the most active memberships in the state providing support and positive leadership in itscommitment to the community. Bremer Bank is proud to have belonged to the Eden Prairie Chamber for more than 25 yearsbecause of the Chamber’s incredible history that elicits pride, connects businesses and enriches communities.8 Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce • 11455 Viking Dr. #270, Eden Prairie, MN 55344Ph: 952-944-2830 • Fax: 952-944-0229 • Website: www.epchamber.org
