January meeting- Other Money

December 30, 2006 Written by Frances Schagen

January’s meeting is called Other Money.

We’re going to look at other ways to make money, opportunities within your core business and the concept of multiple streams of income.  There’s alot of discussion lately about the best ways to do this and whether or not to do it.  We’ll look at all sides and make some decisions that are relevant to each of us.  The group will act as a sounding board and offer plain-talk advice.

We’re meeting at the Kings CED Boardroom, 35 Webster Street, Kentville at 9:30 – 11:30.  Two hours a month to improve your business.
