Description
What do you remember from your high school physics class? If you think back, terms like energy, velocity, force, and momentum may come to mind. These concepts govern the natural world around us. Is it possible that they might be applied to the business world, too?
This is the question Chip Higgins invites you to explore in The Bizzics Way: Powering Your Small Business to Maximum Momentum. Bizzics applies the laws of physics to business, providing a how-to guide for entrepreneurs that cuts through the corporate jargon and simplifies business best practices. Whether you’re just thinking of starting a business or already growing a small company of your own, this book can help you achieve the holy grail that every business seeks―momentum.
Chip draws on his thirty-five-plus years of experience advising small business owners in the banking sector to detail the most relevant steps an entrepreneur must take to achieve lasting success. He draws on his own experience as a business and leadership coach, as well as case studies of real-world companies. From obtaining funding to hiring staff, this book covers the core components of the startup process, giving you the information that you need at every step of your entrepreneurial journey.
With clarity and candor, Chip reveals how you can harness your entrepreneurial energy and share it with the world in a way that allows you―and those around you―to thrive.

“Chip Higgins understands how small businesses work… and don’t. As a banker, he’s lent them money. As business owner, he’s counseled them. As an author, he has merged practices of thriving businesses and immutable laws of physics into memorable, actionable guidance for small business owners who want to launch or expand their businesses.”
Nick Miller
President, Clarity Advantage
“Passion is critical to success and mastery. I have personally watched Chip Higgins’ passion for serving small business owners grow over the past 37 years. The Bizzics Way is the culmination of that journey. In it, Chip lays out the critical business principles required for any business owner to maximize momentum and, perhaps more importantly, provides the practical insights needed to implement them in your business.”

“Right from the onset, Chip tells us that he became a banker because he saw the important role bankers played in his community. He says, “It was the way the bankers I knew contributed to the neighborhood and built it up.” Forty-plus years later, Chip is still passionate about the way business leaders are contributing and building neighborhoods. The Bizzics Way is a love letter from a tireless and passionate advocate for leaders. Here is wisdom from someone who believes that small business leaders deserve the wisdom big business can access with their big budgets. In this book, you will glean applicable wisdom from someone who appreciates the struggles and promises of the small business, non-profit, or budding leader. My colleagues and I work in the non-profit sector in rural Uganda and are beneficiaries of these practical ideas. Chip draws on universal laws of physics such as energy, velocity, momentum, and so forth to drive home principles that deliver success regardless of the size of organization, mission, or geographical region. Chip provides a great deal of insight into why small business entrepreneurs exist, debunks the myths, and removes the excuses around success in business.”

“Chip Higgins sets the scene wherever he goes. His spirit to help others and his experience in business almost immediately builds trust. What better person to write a book about stepping outside the box of ‘business?’ Chip’s focus is on people, their energy, and building culture and trust―whether a teammate or a customer. A force of nature in the gentlest of ways, Chip always puts people first. For 15 years Chip has been available to me to advise, mentor, and support my small business. I’m so excited for him to share his knowledge and energy to help others grow their business, as he has helped me grow mine.”

Chip says it all here: ‘The right resources and coaching can be game-changing for small business owners.’ The Bizzics Way, it provides real life examples and exercises to challenge the reader and provide solutions.”

“Good leaders provide direction, purpose, and reason for a group or organization to follow. They also share their knowledge, wisdom, and experience with others. After spending many months working directly with Chip Higgins for our businesses funding needs, I can honestly say his understanding of the process from start to finish is what made all the difference. The Bizzics Way is an entrepreneur’s guide to turning a vision into reality!”
