Business: It’s time to Hunker Down!

"Hunker Down" is a great phrase; one that I believe was created in the U.P. of Michigan. U.P. are letters representing Upper Peninsula a designate for the land mass that jets out east from Wisconsin and splits Lake Superior and the lower mitten shaped area most people think of when they hear the word, Michigan. The term Hunker down might not really have been created in the U.P. but it’s where I first heard it used.
"Hunker Down" has a couple of definitions. One is to take safety; another is to focus on the job ahead. My favorite definition is that of the act of a group of people, normally guys, circling around a open, bare spot on the ground, squatting down or taking a bended knee as they discuss and draw out (With a stick as a writing utensil in the dirt) a plan of action. Most time I related this to guys out deer hunting. We would all hunker down and map out the areas we would be hunting being careful not to get one another caught in cross-fire.

It’s time for all of us in business to hunker down.

Gather like minded people around you, kind of like finding a group of guys that like to go hunting only find ones that are looking to hunt profits instead of white tailed deer.

Shelter: Make it a safe place to gather, an atmosphere where you all can be comfortable to talk about your dreams, hopes and ideas. Be willing to talk about your needs; don’t be afraid to talk about the weaknesses in your business.

Get help from other more experienced hunters. Man, I remember my first hunt, being all nervous, afraid of doing something wrong but feeling so much better when the more experienced guys shared information about their times out on the hunt.

Then set about a plan of action! Remember hunkering down is not about holding meetings it’s about getting out and hunting. So set about your plan simply with easy to follow directions.

Let me tell you about the group of people I hunker down with, Teton Business Solutions.

Ron Newton and the people that work for/with him at Teton Business Solutions are the kind of people you want to hunker down with. Because of the modern world we now live in, hunkering down is mostly done sitting around big office desks while we wear business suits and “DO” point presentations instead of writing out a plan of actions using a stick to scribble in the dirt, but the heart of the hunker is not lost on the people at Teton Business Solutions.

These folks create a safe place to talk about your business needs. They are experienced in a multiple of aspects of business; from payroll solutions, hiring practices, job placement, staff training to finding money or saving money for your business. It’s and incredible experience to Hunker down with a group that finds way for you to save money and to afford their services.

Incredible! They find ways to save you money and ways to pay for their services.

Again: Incredible! Teton Business Solutions find ways to save you money and ways that even pay for their services!
