Building a Financial Strategy for GrowtH

Most business owners say they're investing back into their business. However, I find many struggle to tell me exactly how they are doing that. If you don't know how much you're investing or how those investments are doing, you can't make intentional plans for the future. Goals should not be abstract milestones we hope to pray to reach one day. There has to be a plan, steps, and a timeline in place to ensure those goals are met. Hold yourself accountable with your investments and make informed decisions about next steps. 

Here is how the workshop will help you do that:

1. Roadmap—We will create a roadmap for your future growth by analyzing what investments you've made in your business in the last 12 months.
2. Investment—Which investments were a success, and how are you tracking those investments?
3. Future—What does that tell you about where you should be investing your profits in the next 12 months?
4. Funding—Understanding financing options and alternatives to fund growth.
