As we get ready to celebrate with family, friends, and even clients at this weekend's Osseo Lions Roar, we also remember where we stood 1/4 century ago on this day, and the actions we took as individuals, a community, and a country to serve others in need and come together.

Let's come together again to remember and honor.

We see the work you put in— every single day. The work that often goes unmentioned (unless there's a challenge), the work that makes it possible for others to shine (without accolades), the groundwork and effort that provide a sturdy foundation to grow from. 🔬👷‍♀️🧑‍🏭 We see you. 👈

If you're one of the many who make our communities stronger and provide the vital services and resources needed to keep us healthy and moving forward, we are here to formally acknowledge your hard work and hope you take a moment this Labor Day weekend to breathe and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

☝️ And to those reading this who depend on others, as we celebrate this weekend, we hope you'll take a moment to personally thank and acknowledge them when you're out and about.

📝 As an aside, remember: Back2Basics is here to help you and your service teams manage day-to-day brand management tasks so you can focus on what you do best. With that said, our team is going to take this Labor Day to relax with family and friends and tend to personal goals we've been putting off.

We'll see you back on Tuesday, September 8, at our regularly scheduled hours.

As Minnesota businesses prepare for fall scheduling, many trades professionals focus on operations.

Marketing often becomes an afterthought, but entering Q4 with a more cohesive approach to their branded messaging can help eliminate the risk of implementation failure or the loss of momentum leading up to Q1 of the new year.

If your:

► Google listing is outdated or underutilized
► Website messaging lacks differentiation
► Social content feels reactive or desperate
► Print materials don’t align with your online presence

It impacts referral confidence.

Your craftsmanship deserves a structured approach and oversight in your branded messaging strategies.

Back2Basics helps local trades define their differentiators and align their messaging before peak demand hits, when they become too busy to address it.

We're so happy to have a complimentary conversation with anyone who wants to learn more about the Power of Professional Networking in groups like Network in Action Twin Cities to help grow your service-based business year over year.

It's not always about sales volume; it's also about the caliber of the resources and connections you make when you're in the right group and really, sincerely, work on the relationships in that group.

For any small business owner or entrepreneur in a personal or professional services industry, or for those who run or manage a local nonprofit chapter or mom-and-pop business, the right networking environment can be your strongest and most stable operational ROI in your business.

Want to talk? Back2Basics founder and lead business brand manager, Tanya Troska, is opening her calendar up in September to talk shop about Networking to Grow in a short one-on-one Discovery Call.

Whether it's with a multi-annual award-winning networking group like Network in Action Twin Cities, or a tight-knit and effective partnership group like Referral LINK Networking, you owe it to your Q4 planning and Q1 success to implement networking in your marketing and outreach strategy now.

So, what makes a networking group or organization successful?
→ Is it the number of members recruited?
→ Is it the biggest online reach?
→ Is it the frequency of meetings and events?
→ Is it solely the number of business opportunities passed?

💡OR, maybe... just maybe...

It's more about the longevity of the majority of its members—those who see value in being part of a professionally run group focused on developing their business-building skills, resources, and strategic alliances.

What about a networking organization that prioritizes networking education, the promotion of its members, deepening interpersonal relationships, and lifting up those who have stepped up to help other members?

What about an organization that prioritizes the quality of members and networking opportunities over the quantity of referrals passed, or the number of members signed up, just to check off a production box?

What about one that gives back to its communities and values stewardship and philanthropic behaviors over pure wealth-building alone?

What about one that recognizes time is money - and family, community, and relationships are more important than sheer volume of activities, but can and will still acknowledge top producers for their efforts?

What does it take to be an NIA Premier Referral Club Member?

The Network in Action Premier Referral Club is the highest honor a member can achieve. This prestigious recognition is reserved for members who have referred more than $100,000 in closed profit to fellow NIA members during their membership.

The award isn't based on attendance or activity. It's earned by creating real business results. Premier Referral members consistently build trusted relationships, make intentional referrals, and help fellow members grow through qualified introductions that turn into closed business.

Out of hundreds of members, only three have earned this distinction, making it one of the most exclusive achievements in our organization:

Lisa Brainer — Keller Williams
Vicki Fox — Creation Chiropractic
Michael Bartus — Lake Sotheby's International Realty

These members would love to connect with YOU! Reach out to them via our NIA website to book your One-to-One.
