Chamber's Sunrise Breakfast


Tuesday - Sept. 14: A week ago Tuesday a combined Wellsville Area, East Liverpool and St. Clair Twp. Chambers-of-Commerce held a Sunrise Breakfast at Wellsville's SOI Lodge. Keynote speaker was William Holden, Co-owner of Cross Roads at Beaver Creek Assisted Living and President of Zoom Worldwide LLC. East Liverpool Chamber member Joe Shemasek gave the welcome. Wellsville Area Chamber President Randy Allmon introduced the speaker and the adjournment was handled by St. Clair Twp. Chamber member Tom Wolfe.

Mr. Holden gave a motivational speech on being an entrepreneur in today's challenging times. He related he has be in direct sales one way or another practically his whole life. When everything is easy it's boring. In challenging times it's exciting and businessmen get a little bit better doing what they do.

Holden stated that once an entrepreneur has a quality product you can't stop growth. It's the secret to growth. Having a good business is an accumulation of people that want to produce that quality product. An entrepreneur has to wear two hats - management and leadership. The manager's task is to do the right thing. Leaders do the right thing but decides what needs to be done. Having once retired Holden returned with the Assisted Living facility and started his Zoom Organic Product company.

The breakfast was prepared and served by members of Wellsville's SOI Lodge under the direction of Jo Jo DaLonzo.
