The Empower Breakfast is a monthly event featuring a notable speaker, access to business leaders and networkers and, of course, breakfast! Our first breakfast was started in Omaha in the year 2001 and continues to draw large numbers of attendees, including about 25% new attendees each month. The Omaha breakfast sells out regularly and early registration is rapid and enthusiastic.
High return, low investment, low time required. This is the perfect add-on to your primary business, especially when you can benefit from an expanding contact list.
As an Area Director, you will provide a valuable forum for local businesses. The emPower Breakfast gives everyone a chance to meet and build relationships with other business professionals. Insightful speakers, table interaction and some fun will make the emPower Breakfast everyone's favorite event of the month.
Starting your own emPower Breakfast is a low investment of only $5000 which includes your 3 months of weekly training, powerful website/database and startup gear like a logo video backdrop and attendee lanyards.
Our offer is for one local business person to take on the role of Area Director of the local emPower Breakfast. We will provide an online database management tool that handles the mundane activities required and we will also train Directors how to make a profit from the breakfast and how to fill the room with our proven techniques. We anticipate a Director could generate well over $30,000 in annual profit for little time required.
The emPower Breakfast license is a one-time set up fee of $2000 for your website and opening kit, a 3-Year Market Contract Fee of $3000 and a monthly operational fee of $400.

EmPower Breakfast creates an environment to serve Metro Business Professionals and Business Owners to meet and form partnerships and strategic alliances. This is done in a non-membership, non-compete, monthly event focused on fun and relationship building. The emPower Breakfast, with it’s 20-year tradition, is the best way to expand new and established businesses.
Michael McKee has been involved with the EmPower Breakfast concept since its beginning in 2001. He's been an active recruiter and EmCee for many years. When the Breakfast was in danger of closing down, he stepped forward with a plan to revive the event and has made it a success ever since. Jim Barger joined Michael as a partner in 2021 and they have developed an idea for an international concept.
We believe the EmPower Breakfast has the potential to be a significant agent of change for business communities. Yes, it's just a breakfast, but our roots as a non-membership community development event with no commercial agenda allows participants to enjoy themselves and meet other like-minded business professionals. Our mix of featured speakers and ability for people to have a place on the agenda is a purposeful way to make the EmPower Breakfast truly an event for everyone.
Michael and Jim walked me through the whole process, training me how to set up the venue, find the sponsors and attract the attendees so that my first breakfast will be a smashing success!
I wasn't sure how a breakfast could be a nationwide concept, but the system, software and training made me a believer! This is a complete package that really doesn't require a lot of time to put on a powerful event.
See if you fit the profile.
This opportunity is ideal for someone who would like to develop a robust and growing database of business professionals. This would most likely be a small business owner such as a financial planner, accountant, marketing firm, or business coach.
Operating an EmPower Breakfast is also a great opportunity for someone who enjoys meeting new people, building relationships and creating a welcoming and educational event.
The Breakfast does not require public speaking, cooking, or a lot of time. It is a low-investment, low-time, high-return event as part of a growing network of Area Directors.
