The Town of Queen Creek has announced that it will be launching its business incubator, QC, Inc. As we helped with the concept and planning, we at FCG are very excited! The incubator is a business-development program intended to help Queen Creek’s home-based, small businesses grow. There is not only the expertise of a Small Business Resource Team, but actual office space, access to an array of business services, and mentoring and training. QC, Inc. is a great way for small businesses to network and receive support from the Queen Creek Chamber of Commerce as well.
There is a great article at the AZ Republic online: QC to launch its incubator. Queen Creek also has more information on their Web site: QC, Inc.
We wish the Town of Queen Creek and QC, Inc. all of our best; congratulations!

Earvin "Magic" Johnson speaking at the High Desert Opportunity 2010 conference.
all-day conference, designed to target out-of-town business, was a great networking experience for site selectors, real estate brokers, consultants, and developers. The highlight of the day was the appearance and riveting presentation from Earvin “Magic” Johnson! Magic gave insight to his business success, saying, “When I started (in the world of business) I met with many community members and picked their brains about business. I learned about business from many people and then I added the same work ethic that used in Basketball.” He explained how he opened Starbucks stores in inner-city areas, and made them thrive by catering to the likes and needs of the customers. He recently sold his 50% Starbucks shares back to the company for $75 million. He is truly a wise businessman, and FCG was thrilled to hear him speak.
