They are a significant engine that moves the economy for- ward. Small en- trepreneurs, classified as having 50 or fewer em- Einhorn ployees, have been known to represent 80 percent of our economy. Having been an entrepre- neur for most of my life, I come to readers from an experiential background and not simply from book learning. My first creative business was born at the age of 12. In summers, I wa- tered lawns and gardens (there were very few sprinkler systems in evidence at the time). In the winter, I shoveled the snow of a New York City winter from sidewalks and driveways. My father came to United States as a refugee from Czecho- slovakia at the age of five. With his four brothers, he established the first supermarkets in New York City. They had 24 at their peak and resembled the Safeway store in Redmond. In fact, Safeway competed with my father’s chain, until they left the New York market and moved to establish them- selves in the West. The reality was they could not compete successfully with Einhorn’s Supermarket! My father compelled me to work with him on Saturday mornings in order to obtain a weekly allowance. Much of what I know, I learned from witness- ing my father. I attribute much of my success as a business con- sultant and coach for the past 14 years to what my father taught me. I have modeled this when creating seven businesses. DAD’S RULES Dad did everything with a handshake. I never saw him sign a written contract. He was ethical and trusting. He relied on his intuition with regard to decision making. He would underpromise and overdeliver. Everything he did was with a 100% guarantee. His main job was to visit all the stores routinely and check on all aspects of their operations. One day, he witnessed a cus- tomer complain about a moldy cantaloupe. He personally went to the back of the store and brought out a case of 12. He met the customer and asked if he could put the case in her car. She replied, I do not have a car. He offered to drive her home or pay for her taxi! He gave her his business card to call him if she ever had another problem in his store. The woman was spell- bound as was I. Can you imag- ine this happening in today’s world? We drove the woman to her home together! I have a list of tips for entre- preneurial success. I learned these from my father and from my own experience. I will elabo- rate on one of them. 1. Consider marketing your- self first and your business sec- ond. 2. Remember the mantric words “exposure” and “pres- ence.” 3. Plan for an exit strategy when incubating your business. 4. Take every opportunity to promote yourself. 5. You build your business “piece by piece” or “step by step.” 6. Seek out mentors and be aware of their existence. 7. Do what you do best and outsource the rest. 8. Consider your employees as assets and not liabilities. 9. Assemble a team of profes- sionals to assist you.

D N █ OBITUARY POLICY Aug. 21 Jonathan James Kanoff, 37, of BOIL IT DOWN If I could pick two words to exemplify what is critical to business success, it would be the words “exposure” and “presence.” Perseverance and tenacity would be close behind. What I am writing in this piece for the Redmond Spokes- man is an example of how to achieve exposure and presence. Through the writer’s words, one gets to know the writer. Think about where you can make a presentation. Exam- ples are: Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, public libraries, colleges, bookstores, chambers of com- merce, etc. Public speaking is terrifying for many, but there is an anti- dote. I have spent 14 years in Toastmasters, first in Ashland and now in Redmond. You will build the confidence and develop the skill of speaking to an audience through Toast- masters. When I gave my first speech at University Toastmasters in Ashland, I was so nervous that I knocked over the lectern and finished the speech sitting in a chair facing a wall. Consider volunteering for a nonprofit agency or the city of Redmond, for example. I volunteer for my homeowners association as vice president. SW 1st St. from SW 4th St. to SE Salmon Dr. Closed Sept. 7-9. SW 1st St closed daily from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. by York Bros Excavation for private development. Local access available.

Local access available. Kasey Amber Marie Strickland, 29, of Terrebonne charged with second- degree shoplifting. Scott Lamoin Dacus, 35, of Redmond, charged with second-degree theft. Gary Einhorn has been a business coach and consultant for more than 14 years. He spent four years at the Small Business Development Center at Southern Oregon University, followed by 10 years in private practice. He has coached more than 200 clients, and focuses on both the person and the business. I also am a volunteer for the Redmond Downtown Urban Renewal Advisory Committee. These are examples of how to achieve exposure and presence. People often choose whom to do business with based upon their like or dislike of the person. This would come under the heading promoting oneself primarily and the busi- ness secondarily. I hope to have the opportu- nity to elaborate on the other tips for the entrepreneur in fu- ture issues of the Spokesman. Should you have any ques- tions or comments, please feel free to direct them to my atten- tion. You can email news@red- mondspokesman.com. Plan your 2023 Getaway!
