Career Management
 We all need to have control of our careers...whether working for someone else or running our own business. In this era, many people are expected to have 6-7 careers over the course of their worklife. It's ideal to be prepared for the next opportunity.
Dream Job
Describe your dream job. What type of organization would you like to work for? Do you want to start your own business? What types of interactions and activities would you like to fill your day?
Identify Skill Set
Make a list of all of your skills. These may be activities that you currently perform at work, or in a hobby or volunteer situation. Are you able to use these skills in a new job situation? For a new position or starting a business, do you need additional training? While with your current organization, register for courses or seminars that will expand your professional skills. Lifelong learning increases your value in the workplace.
Develop a Plan
Create a plan for your new opportunity. How long will you need to achieve your goal? Take the time to build relationships. Do you know someone in the type of position or field you would like to get into? Be sure to ask key questions to find out as much as possible. At intervals, review your plan and adjust if needed. It's a great way to track your progress and keep you motivated! |

Card Holder
To look more professional, consider carrying a business card holder. It will keep your business cards organized in one place. Plus, it allows you to provide your card to potential clients and connections without digging in your pockets or purse. |

Seminar Series
We are excited to present engaging and useful information for business people. Take a look at the "Marketing Matters" series which covers networking, customer service, marketing and other business topics to help you and your business perform at the highest level.
Target Marketing
The PERFECT tutorial for business owners who create their own ads! Do you feel like your advertising doesn't really work for your business? And people aren't responding? We will be partnering with Gregg Oliver of GO Direct to discuss how to find your target market and develop powerful ads in How to Make Your Advertising Work for You. You'll learn the secrets to reach your ideal audience and create ads that get results! New dates coming soon!
Professional Development
Join us for the Business Challenge Roundtable! This program is designed for energetic, open-minded business owners who are committed to making changes. The group format over 4 sessions allows you the opportunity to focus on specific aspects of your business and get immediate feedback. We'll help you identify what's happening in your business and how you can take action now. Get ahead of your competition...fast! Limited to 10 participants. New dates coming soon!
