The Bizzics Way

“Chip Higgins has a heart for business owners, and his coaching, consulting,
and mentoring over the years have proven invaluable to his many clients. Now,
with this highly readable and engaging book, he offers the insights from forty
years of banking experience to anyone who will read and apply the Bizzics
tools to their business. I look forward to applying this knowledge to my own
business and recommending it to my students and clients.”

“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.”

“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.”

“The knowledge I have gained from Chip Higgins has helped me build the
confidence and competitive edge I needed to build on my success as a small
business owner. In The Bizzics Way, Chip provides realistic tools for
businesses on how to overcome common small business challenges. 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!”
