When you spend your days helping other entrepreneurs build successful businesses, it's only fitting that we get to celebrate a milestone of your own!

We were especially excited to recognize Sarah, founder of SMP Business & Tax Services, LLC, during our recent Ribbon Cutting Extravaganza! 🎉

Sarah started SMP in 2013 with a belief that entrepreneurs deserve more than someone who simply manages their books. They deserve a trusted partner who takes the time to understand their goals, helps them build strong systems, and gives them the confidence to take their businesses where they want to go.

With more than 25 years of experience, she's built a practice around curiosity, education, and genuine care for the people she serves.

We know that care firsthand! Sarah also supports our Chamber's bookkeeping, and we've experienced the knowledge, dedication, and personal attention she brings to her work. We're grateful to have her in our corner!

Her mission of helping entrepreneurs create their own destiny is something that resonates deeply with us. When local business owners have the tools and support to succeed, our entire community grows stronger.

Congratulations on your ribbon cutting, Sarah! We're proud to celebrate you, not only as a Chamber member, but as someone who makes a meaningful difference in the businesses and lives of those around you. 💙

✨ Get to know Sarah and discover how SMP can support your business:

🏈 What does playing quarterback for legendary 7-time National Champion Coach Nick Saban teach you about leadership?

For Bill Burke, it meant learning to make split-second decisions, lead under pressure, and perform when thousands of people were watching.

Now, he's bringing those lessons from the football field, along with 20 years of corporate experience, to Livingston County!

Join us for Good Morning Livingston as Bill presents "Become The Leader The Moment Demands."

Today, as a Certified Performance Coach, Bill helps executives and organizations strengthen their decision-making, navigate uncertainty, and perform when it matters most.

Great leadership isn't just about having a plan. It's about knowing how to respond when things don't go according to one.

At the Howell Area Chamber, we believe investing in stronger leaders creates stronger businesses and a community where more people can thrive. We're bringing this conversation to Livingston County to help turn valuable lessons into meaningful action.

We're also so excited to have Brad Tate of Agapé City Church as our emcee for the morning!

📅 Thursday, November 5 | 8:00–10:00 AM
📍 Chemung Hills Golf & Banquet Center

Join us for a morning of meaningful connections and fresh perspectives on leadership!

Some of the most important parts of a home are the ones you never see, and knowing they're in good hands can make all the difference!

We were excited to celebrate Advanced Well and Septic Inspections (AWSI) during our recent Ribbon Cutting Extravaganza! 🎉

With nearly a decade of hands-on experience and thousands of inspections completed, the team at AWSI has built a business around helping homeowners, buyers, and real estate professionals make confident, informed decisions.

From well and septic inspections to water testing, troubleshooting, and second opinions, their approach is rooted in experience, education, and unbiased evaluations. Rather than selling repairs, they focus on giving people the knowledge they need to protect their homes and investments.

One of the most rewarding parts of what we do is celebrating local businesses that use their expertise to make a meaningful difference in our community!

Congratulations to the AWSI team on your ribbon cutting! 💙 We're proud to celebrate this milestone with you and look forward to seeing your continued impact throughout Livingston County and beyond!

For the duo at Next Stop Fun, helping people make unforgettable memories is all part of the adventure, so we loved having the opportunity to celebrate an exciting milestone of their own! 🎉

We were thrilled to recognize them during our recent Ribbon Cutting Extravaganza!

Whether it's a magical Disney vacation, a relaxing cruise, or a family adventure you've been dreaming about, they believe every getaway should feel as unique as the people taking it.

With care, creativity, and personal attention, they handle the planning, logistics, and little details so travelers can spend less time worrying and more time making memories.

What we especially love is how their passion goes beyond booking vacations. They're helping families and adventurers turn those "someday" trips into experiences they'll treasure for years to come! 🌎

For Mark Manriquez, building a business has been about more than creating financial success. It's about helping others gain the knowledge, confidence, and direction to build a future they're excited about!

We were thrilled to celebrate Mark Manriquez and WealthyXchange during our Ribbon Cutting Extravaganza! 🎉

Mark's entrepreneurial journey has taken him from a career in technology and sales leadership to pursuing his passion for financial education and coaching. Through WealthyXchange, he helps people explore strategies for building wealth, protecting their financial future, and making more informed decisions about their money.

What makes his journey especially meaningful is his belief that success isn't measured only by what we achieve ourselves, but by the lives we help improve along the way.

Congratulations on your ribbon cutting, Mark! 💙 We're proud to celebrate this milestone with you and look forward to seeing the opportunities you'll continue to create for others!
