March 2024 Newsletter
From the Office
The Long Haul continued,
Last month we explored how success doesn't happen overnight and that it takes perseverance. What are some other attributes that foster longevity and sustainability? In no particular order, here are some qualities I've reflected on:
Adaptable: You must pivot when necessary. Is new emerging technology disrupting the market? Is your customer behaving differently? Being able to adapt is crucial in our fast-paced and quickly changing world.
Innovative: Being proactive in business keeps you ahead of your competition. Are there new resources to leverage? Are there better, faster, cheaper ways of doing your thing? If you can continue to innovate in your field, you can create need.
Planning: Whether it is your business plan, strategic plan, or marketing plan, it is about taking the appropriate time to think about where you want to be. Strategize on how you get there, document it, and measure your results so you can continue to make effective decisions.
Passion: Being "all in" on what you are doing sets the tone. It impacts everything from your motivation to how you hire. This is the emotional component to your business success
Some of these bullet points were born out of a lunch conversation with our office tenant Mike Blaurock, Business Consultant with the SBDC. Check out theirthe Biz bitepodcast with episodes like The Entrepreneurial MindsetandCrafting a Clear Message for Business Growth. What are some other attributes that help with enduring the long haul? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Announcements
On February 5th, our Facebook page was reported and unpublished. We began the process of appealing the decision. We also attempted to create a new page, but it was also reported and unpublished. The process to restore our page has been very frustrating, but we will continue to appeal the decision. Our page clearly did not violate any of the community standards.
The Facebook platform is important for our organization in sharing our members events, promotions, etc. as well as distributing information about chamber activities.
While we still are actively pursuing all of our options in appealing Meta's decision, we need your help in spreading the word about some of our upcoming events! If you can, please click this link where .jpeg files of our event files can be downloaded.
Join us in viewing the eclipse on April 8th! Check out these viewing experiences.
Meet your fellow chamber members this Friday!
Grapes & Growler Tickets are available! New Sponsorship Opportunities!
