Morris County Chamber Launches Earn More Program for Local Business Owners

The Morris County Chamber of Commerce and C3 Workplace, a business support services provider and trainer, is launching a new program to help small business owners and entrepreneurs get on the road to success, beginning Sept. 29 in Florham Park.
The Earn More Program is a comprehensive series of workshops designed to enable small business owners and entrepreneurs to better invest in themselves, according to Donna Miller, C3 founder and president.

According to a program description, the Earn More Program is designed for sole proprietors and small business owners and will provide the technical tools and support required to help business owners “move past the head trash and behaviors that have you stuck in patterns that keep you from achieving your goals.” Participants will become “people who will earn more.”

The program comprises 13 sessions:
· Session 1 – The Financial Plan: Creating a personal budget and projected profits and losses.
· Session 2 – The Marketing Plan: Developing a specific mix of marketing activities to drive leads and revenue.
· Session 3 – The Behavior Plan: Determining how personal behavior will dictate the marketing plan and drive revenue.
· Sessions 4-13 – Accountability Mastermind: Two monthly meetings, one in person and one virtual.
Topics also will include an elevator pitch exercise, pricing and proposal strategies and collaborative marketing.

Miller has been helping small business owners and entrepreneurs for more than 25 years and will be joined as instructor in the program by Tommy Hilcken, principal of Tommy’s Toolbox and an award-winning speaker and motivational humorist.
The Earn More Program sessions will be held at the Morris County Chamber of Commerce office in Florham Park beginning Sept. 29 and will run through March 16. The program is open to non-chamber members as well as members.

The cost of the program is $1,750. A $150 discount is offered to those who enroll by Sept. 8. To learn more or to register contact Angela Kubisky, executive vice president of membership and marketing at the chamber, at 973.539.3882, ext. 225, or angela@morrischamber.org.
