What an amazing opportunity!! Join Let Her Speak tomorrow at 11:30 a.m. to talk about the hidden costs of running a business.
One of the primary reasons women start businesses is so they can own control of their financial independence and earning power. While it can feel freeing to have complete autonomy over your working life - owning a business is one of the most difficult jobs you can have. For our final Women Building Wealth session of 2024, we’re tackling a topic every business owner needs to understand: the hidden costs that eat away at profits. From surprise expenses to overlooked inefficiencies, these "silent profit killers" can have a major impact on anyone building a business and their personal wealth. And it's a lunch & learn! ?? When: Tuesday, November 19th, 11:30 AM - 1:00 PM ?? Where: Maple Room @ Maple Hall Join us for an engaging discussion with guest experts: ? Brianne Wells of Oberle Risk Strategies ? Erin Reece of Bear Financial Solutions You’ll learn: - How to spot and mitigate surprise costs. - Ways to uncover hidden inefficiencies and reduce their impact. - Who you need on your team to help you build a resilient financial plan. This event is perfect for ANY woman ready to take ownership of her financial journey, whether you’re just starting or well on your way. Let's ask the hard questions, share insights, and build wealth together - surrounded by other women who want to see us succeed. ??? Reserve your spot now! https://lnkd.in/ecApRvPj Thank you to our sponsors First Horizon Bank and Maple Hall for making this event possible.
