A brand new business year full of new possibilities and new opportunities is about to knock on your door; are you ready for it?!


The months of December and January are always important ones: December is the month of reviewing, planning and finalizing for the next year, and January is the month of launching new marketing campaigns, making resolutions and having good intentions for change and growth.


As a small business, we all have good intentions for the new year when it comes to implementing new strategies to grow and improve our businesses and ourselves. However, those who are not disciplined may find it hard to stick to these plans or their resolutions. Or, perhaps, they may need some help in execution.


Your Chamber is here to partner with you to help make your business better and to help you grow as a business professional. As a CCEDC member, there are so many benefits, resources and programs available to you to make a positive impact on your business in the coming year. However, you have to be committed to taking the action steps to see real change.


Here are some actions that you can take this January to help you start off the business year on a positive footing…


1) Make sure you log into the Member Information Center and review your Member Profile. Make sure it is complete and accurate. CLICK HERE to contact the Webmaster if you need access or have forgotten your password. (Also, do this for your member profile on the GLVCC website, since the printed Annual Chamber Directory is taken from the GLVCC website database. CLICK HERE to contact Becca at the GLVCC if you need access.
