If you have ever listened to someone speak about their personal or professional success, or have the habit of reading biographies or even historical fiction, there seems to be commonalities on the road to their successes.   Most often there is a defining moment that propelled them to attainment of goals and ultimate success.  Whether these moments were chance meetings, casual conversations with peers or simply life experiences, these moments can be easily described as opportunity.  

 

In closer study of successful people you quickly see that they each recognized opportunity and seized the chance to use it to their full advantage.  If opportunity showed up as a large blinking neon sign saying “Here I am!”, the path to success would be much less bumpy. Sometimes it means being in the right place at the right time, and recognizing that you are in the right place at the right time!  In other words, create your own opportunities.

 

The Culpeper Chamber of Commerce is in the business of opportunity creation.  This business organization offers its members a benefits package specifically tailored to help pave a path to success.  Our many networking functions bring you face to face with the business community - people still want to do business with people they know.  The Chamber offers a robust online presence for all members - membership improves your online search rankings.  Our many committees and councils offer members the chance to become involved through volunteerism.  

 

Sponsorship packages can be a perfect complement to your business marketing strategy - they increase your company’s visibility to a wide and varied audience.  Whatever size business you are, the Culpeper Chamber has programs, events and marketing tools to fit your needs.  Create your own opportunities through membership in the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce.  

 

The late, great comedian Milton Berle once said, “If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.”  Let the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce be your door - all you need to do is open it and Opportunity will welcome you with open arms.
