CASH DAY-Accelerator
Have you thought about your CASH lately?
Accelerate Cash Flow to Fuel Your Growth
The first law of entrepreneurial gravity is “Growth sucks cash.” We encourage companies to examine their cash acceleration strategies. This measures the time between spending a dollar (on marketing, design, rent, wages, etc.) and earning that dollar back throughout the company.

***EO MEMBERS WELCOMED & ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND***
How to LEAD So Your People Will FOLLOW
Most of us started our businesses based on our passion for the product or service we offer or the niche we operate in.
Along the way many of us realized we needed a team of people to help make our vision a reality, and that leading those people effectively is essential but rarely easy.
Does this sound like you?
Join this workshop-style webinar for an introduction to a set of simple and effective tools that you can begin applying right away to tackle your frustrations and enhance your effectiveness in leading and managing your people.
Specifically, you'll experience how these tools help improve accountability, communication and foster a more functional, healthy team so you can get what you want from your business.
