We’re closing up shop on 2016 and looking ahead to what 2017 has in store. Between special happenings for our clients and events we support in our non-work lives, the year’s first few months are looking busy. Take a peek at the things Team 834 is looking forward to in the new year.

City Built Brewing Company

Our client, Honor Construction, has had a huge hand in the development of City Built Brewing Company. We’re waiting with anticipation for the brewery’s official opening date, which will be announced soon. Located in the rapidly growing North Monroe business district, City Built’s menu will be Puerto Rican inspired and its beer will be made with nontraditional ingredients.

CMURC

CMURC is a business incubator site located in Mt. Pleasant… until now. CMURC is expanding to Bay City in early 2017, where it will have 5,000 square feet for businesses to occupy.

Shefit’s new bra

The next bra is on its way! We’ve loved being along for the ride of our client, Shefit. From Shark Tank to new bra developments, watching the company’s growth has been a blast. In 2017, Shefit is releasing its Ultimate Sports Bra Generation 3. Feedback from customers were integrated into the upgrade, which includes modified fabric, new color offerings, a more lightweight feel and revised sizing options.

GROW Connects Series

These once-a-month workshops will focus on topics that are specific to business owners and people who are interested in starting their own business. The kickoff is Jan. 26 and is hosted by Grand Rapids Opportunities for Women. Monthly topics include continuity, promoting your business, legal aspects, being strategic while growing, financing options and running a business confidently.

AMA Survived the Holidays – Panels & Pints

Sometimes you just need to get together with a bunch of people and celebrate surviving the holiday season. AMA West Michigan is hosting Survived the Holidays – Panels & Pints on Jan. 24 at Grand Rapids Brewing Company. Grab a beer and regroup while listening to marketing leaders from area breweries, distilleries and cideries.

Turnover is one of the most expensive challenges business owners are facing right now, and the skills crisis isn`t making it easier.

Kim was recently featured in fastcompany talking about exactly that. It`s part of why we built the Skills Survival School, an integrated approach to a problem that demands one.

You learn the most from failure, but you have to make the decision first.

Just remember: there`s power in the uncomfortable.

It`s 2.5 hours where you`ll get to forget what the world has told you and really be you.

You’ll walk away with a plan, confidence and group of people cheering you on.

Plus, you know it`s going to be fun. June 23 - link in bio.

As we near the end of another incredible year with the Women`s Entrepreneurial Fellowship, we`re so grateful to look back at the meaningful connections and hard work each and every business owner put into it.

This really is the program for what comes after... the growth, the hiring, the hardship, and creating a space where alone doesn`t feel so alone.

Our most recent blog reflects on the impact the program has made, and what comes next. Link in bio.

(Oh, and applications are open for the next cohort. Apply now)

Everyone knows the skills gap exists. Not enough people are asking what it`s actually costing us.

Kim is partnering with mibiznetwork for a new series focused on the Hard Cost of Soft Skills - what skills are missing, what businesses are doing because of it, and most importantly... the fix.

You can watch the first episode intro at the link in bio.

This is your Monday reminder that nobody has it all figured out at first.

Owning what makes you weird and unique takes time... and work.

You can start that work at a Big Deal Energy workshop. First one is on June 23. Link in bio.
