The Feliciano Center was created to enhance entrepreneurship education at Montclair State University by creating an environment where students unleash their talent for creativity, innovation and entrepreneurial drive. This environment will provide students the opportunity to create and develop ideas that turn into real products or services, and ultimately pitch those products and services to successful entrepreneurs. Students will become entrepreneurs. Although situated in the university's Feliciano School of Business, the entrepreneurship experience will be available to every student on campus. One of the underlying tenets of the Center’s mission and vision is that every individual has the capacity to be creative and to innovate and solve problems. The Center offers a certificate and minor in entrepreneurship that is open to any student. Business students can pursue our concentration in entrepreneurship. Our curriculum is highly interactive, rigorous and experiential. The program exposes students to a process that strengthens their innovative and creative capacities and that enables them to apply these attributes to the enterprise creation protocol and toward the development of viable business models/solutions. Our courses guide students through real-life entrepreneurial experiences.

Marketing your business locally is key, but actually understanding your numbers throughout the process is how you scale with intention 📈

Most small business owners feel overwhelmed by metrics, and this workshop breaks down which ones matter.

Our upcoming Power Hour, Making Sense of Marketing Metrics, is a virtual session designed to help you understand the data behind real growth, from choosing the right platforms to spotting the numbers that drive sales.

We’re taking the foundation you’ve built and showing you how to make smarter, more confident decisions backed by data instead of guesswork.

We’re covering:
📊 Key metrics that signal real growth
🚫 Vanity metrics that look good but mislead
📱 Which platforms to prioritize for your audience
🔍 How to evaluate performance without getting lost in the numbers
🎯 How to align metrics with sales goals

Strong brands do more than post consistently. They measure intentionally.

Why use AI as a strategic partner? 🤔

Because running a business requires more than completing tasks. It requires stepping back, spotting patterns, and making informed decisions.

AI can help you research a market, examine competitors, explore customer needs, and pressure-test an idea, but only when it is paired with your knowledge of your business.

In Week 4 of Human at the Wheel: AI as Your Business Co-Pilot, you’ll learn how to use AI for:

📊 Business and market research
📊 Competitive analysis
📊 Customer personas
📊 Strategic questions and decision support
📊 Turning scattered information into clearer next steps

You don’t need a large research team to think more strategically. You need the right questions, useful information, and a process for deciding what matters.

The Instructor:
Jimmy Newson is the founder of Moving Forward Small Business and is known as the “Impact Influencer.” His work helps entrepreneurs move from constantly reacting inside their businesses to building the strategy, systems, and accountability needed to lead them.

Jimmy has partnered with organizations including SCORE, the SBA, Montclair State University, the International Emmys, and the National Association of Blind Entrepreneurs, training thousands of professionals worldwide.

He brings AI back to the question every business owner should be asking: How will this help me make a stronger decision and take meaningful action?
