Have a purposeful new year

As you take stock of last year and face the new year, what do you hope to accomplish? And how do you plan to get there? Because we all need a plan.

If you missed the On-Purpose Leadership Experience last fall, please take the opportunity to join Kevin McCarthy for a free webcast preview of the January edition. This program is sponsored by our chamber.

I attended last fall, and it was a real eye-opener. Kevin's On-Purpose method helped me build a framework to figure out what to do -- and what to stop doing. Articulating my purpose helped me see what parts of my life fit and which don't. it helped me focus on which goals are really important, and which ones I can set aside for awhile.

No matter how good or how challenging your life has been lately, don't go another year without really knowing who you are, who you can become, and how to get there.

Register online for the preview, and prepare to enter the new year with purpose.

Business-Building Summer Seminar Series

Join us for four seminars designed to help your bottom line. Each seminar will be held twice — in the morning in East Orlando on a different day at midday in the Millenia Mall area. The total price for the entire series is only $25 for chamber members and $45 for nonmembers.

Classroom sizes are limited, so make your reservations now. Here’s the schedule:

Effectively Starting Your Business (Building Businesses That Last)

June 17, 7:30 AM, Asbury University, Ron Wilkinson
July 15, 11:30 AM, Belhaven University, Ron Wilkinson

With companies downsizing, the best way to secure your future may be to start and build your own business. This seminar will give you the basics for a solid business structure and will help you get started on a firm foundation. You will learn:
  • Writing and monitoring a business plan
  • Determining proper business structure (Sole Proprietorship, LLC, C-Corp, S-Corp)
  • Securing Funding
  • Identifying HR needs
Effectively Branding Your Business (Building a Brand That Lasts)

June 17, 11:30 AM, Belhaven University, Bill Webster
July 15, 7:30 AM, Asbury University, Bill Webster

Many products and services can be rapidly identified just by their logo. Getting potential customers or clients to easily and effectively know your brand builds loyalty and increases your bottom line. In this seminar you will learn:
  • How to develop your brand for traditional and online marketing
  • How to communicate your brand traditionally and online
  • How to extend your brand through Social Media
Effectively Social-Marketing Your Business (Building Marketing That Lasts)

July 29, 11:30 AM, Belhaven University, Bill Webster
August 19, 7:30 AM, Asbury University, Bill Webster

We have become a global cyber-community. People increasingly communicate via the Internet. While there is much clutter in many of these social media channels, the potential to develop and implement effective marketing strategies is huge. In this seminar you will learn:
  • How to develop, maintain and protect your online message
  • How to build and leverage social capital to take action
  • The Social Media "must use" tools
Effectively Developing Relationships in Your Business (Building Relationships That Last)

July 29, 7:30 AM, Asbury University, Judy Boyce
August 19, 11:30 AM, Belhaven University, Judy Boyce

Relationships are at the core of every business -- with employees, clients, vendors, and yourself. Knowing people’s preferences and methods of learning increases your understanding of how best to relate to those around you. In this seminar you will learn how to:
  • Hire the right people
  • Manage correctly
  • Serve your clients effectively

Note that all morning classes are at Asbury University and all midday classes are at Belhaven University.

Shine on

Kris den Besten, author of SHINE, asked us at the November luncheon whether, when people watch us, they see a worker, or an instrument created by God to bring him glory. He also introduced us to the acronym SHINE:

S Serve others
H Honor God
I Improve continually
N Navigate by values
E Earn Recommendations

Seminars based on den Besten's book SHINE will be held at Belhaven College in Maitland and Palm Beach Atlantic University in Orlando beginning Jan. 14. Facilitators will be Eddy Moratin of Lifework Leadership and Mark Goldstein, president of the Christian Chamber.

Both seminars will be held from 7:15-8:30 a.m. The seminars are free. Both the book and workbook will be available at the seminar.

To register and choose a location to attend, e-mail us or call Mark at (407) 484-3899.

For many of us, the workplace may be our primary mission field. SHINE shows how to move from making a living to making a difference.

You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one after lighting a lamp puts it under the bushel basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.
--Matt. 5:14-16 (NRSV)
