I am super excited and it’s not even something I think you need. It’s so much better than that… It is something YOU WANT!!
What is the number one reason businesses close within the first 3 years amongst other elements? Poor cashflow?
Yes, how did you guess that? And that is exactly what this is about.
Let me introduce you to how to go for an Afternoon Tea the Yarka K. way
Business Strategy day with a focus on Money Management
– Clearing off debt
– Pay yourself more each quarter
– Create habits to stay accountable long run
I have an opportunity to run a workshop there for up to 15 business owners to help them grow their businesses and the cash mindset and management system to support them on the way.
What is the workshop about?
Planning this event started with wanting to go out for an afternoon tea. If you know me at all you’ll know I LOVE CREAM TEA/AFTERNOON TEA. I then found the venue to do it in and if you haven’t been to De Vere yet – it’s impressive, magical, an absolutely stunning place. The big ideas we all have should not settle for anything less than De Vere.
Does even talking about money sound fun for you? Do you find it easy to talk about money?
No? Well, this day is going to change that and it will shake the ground you’re currently standing on
