PRESENTATION - INTERVIEW STYLE

New Revenue Starts with a Strategic Plan
We've heard it said "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail." This adage is attributed to Ben Franklin - is it a coincidence that his likeness appears on the $100 bill? Often we jump into business by creating a job for ourselves. No plan, no processes, just hustle habits and a make-money mindset. While a great start, these can only get us so far.

In today's interview-style presentation, we'll get advice and guidance on how strategic planning leads to new revenue, clear direction and solid growth from expert business growth strategist and former Fortune 100 executive, Don Sando. In addition, Don will share his experience-based insights and perspective on women vs. men in business.

Whether you are just starting out, experiencing some "growing pains", or feeling like you're on the right track, you'll walk away with key tips on planning for financial growth.
