Colorado, US, 5th November 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Colorado entrepreneur and engineer Jim Browning is calling for a renewed focus on community, teamwork, and sustainable business systems following his latest interview, “Jim Browning Colorado on Building Businesses That Last.” Through his company, JB Services, Browning helps organisations develop structured, predictable operations—but he says the real mission goes far beyond profit.

“I rise by lifting others,” Browning said. “True success isn’t measured by numbers alone—it’s about creating environments where people and communities can grow together.”

Browning, who co-founded RNK Running & Walking in Douglas County, has seen first-hand how businesses can serve as community anchors. When a tragic accident struck his Parker store in 2017, killing a young girl named Rylie, he chose compassion over commerce. “The business wasn’t important in that moment,” he reflected. “What mattered were the people. Everything else could wait.”

That experience, along with his decades in operations leadership, inspired his advocacy for resilient, human-centred business systems. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, over 45% of small businesses fail within five years, often due to unclear goals, poor communication, or lack of structure—issues Browning says can be solved through systems thinking and team alignment.

“It’s like engineering a building,” he explained. “You start with the end in mind, then create clear, measurable steps to get there. Even the most complex goals become possible when broken down into simple, achievable actions.”

Browning believes Colorado offers the ideal environment for that kind of leadership. “There’s a collaborative spirit here,” he said. “People want to help each other succeed. We just need to connect that energy with structure and purpose.”

Why It Matters

• 40% of small businesses never reopen after a major disruption such as natural disaster or market shift (FEMA).
  

• 73% of consumers say customer experience drives loyalty, yet less than half believe companies deliver it (PwC).
  

• Companies with clear operating systems are 60% more likely to achieve long-term profitability (Harvard Business Review).

Browning uses these insights to remind local entrepreneurs that success starts with strong foundations—systems, empathy, and community engagement.

A Call to Action

Browning encourages business owners, community leaders, and individuals alike to take small, practical steps:

• Build systems that last. Document processes and align teams around a shared vision.
  

• Support your community. Volunteer, sponsor local events, or mentor others.
  

• Focus on people. Prioritise kindness and communication in every decision.
  

“Whether you run a shop or lead a team,” Browning said, “you have the power to make your community stronger. It starts with one conversation, one kind act, one system that makes life easier for someone else.”
