Salida Chamber Calendar

In this session, we’ll explore how to create a brand personality that customers connect with and love. We’ll start by defining “brand character”—the tone, voice, and traits that tell your story and build trust. Then, we’ll dive into the 12 brand archetypes, from the Hero to the Rebel, showing how each creates a unique emotional connection.  Hosted by the Colorado Small Business Development Center (SBDC) serving the Central Mountain Region Virtual event register with the link or email molly@centralsbdc.org

Most entrepreneurs put themselves at the end of the line financially—often at the expense of their own well-being. In this session, you’ll discover how to apply the Profit First method to pay yourself first, reduce financial stress, and build a stronger, more sustainable business. Chris will share practical strategies you can put into place right away.
