THE BIZ PANEL

experts for entrepreneurs

Mind Over Money Event

The Biz Panel is back and this time, it’s all about money.

Now that tax season is behind us, or you at least filed for an extension, you've seen the numbers for 2010. Are you satisfied with the amount of money your business made last year?

Want 2011 to be better? We're already in the 2nd quarter and now is the time to make the changes that will increase your income.

• Monetizing from the ground up, or finding what's right under your nose if you're already in business!
• Need more customers but have a small marketing budget? Low and no cost ideas to get more business!
• Track that cash! Put systems in place to track what is coming in to (and going out) of your business!
• Bootstrapping - how to use the no/low cost method to get that business started or take your biz further!
• Heard you can use social media & online marketing for free but scared to jump in? How to get started!
• Overwhelmed? Come learn how getting organized can save time and resources!

This quarter, we'll give you tips, tools, resources, guidance and advice for how to:

       find it by building launch revenue

        preserve it by bootstrapping

       create it through monetization

       manage it through systems and organization

      produce it through marketing, PR and online presence

      and budget it to take you further.
