Running a business means wearing a lot of hats.

Marketing, customer communication, websites... somehow it's all part of the job, too.

This fall, Business Made Simple is breaking it down into three practical workshops that focus on tools you can actually use, even if tech isn't your thing.

🍃 August: Make a great first impression online
📬 September: Stay connected with your customers
⭐ October: Turn happy customers into loyal ones

You'll hear from local business leaders Chad Morgan of Creative Partner Solutions and Selina Mate of Peculiar Coffee, who will share practical strategies and real-world experiences you can apply to your own business.

Why does it make economic sense to have an inclusive Lansing? And what does that mean? What makes the Lansing region such a great place to start a company? These are some of the questions we asked AbleVu founder Meegan Winters. Her answers are as insightful as they are inspiring.
