Greetings ,

The ghosts, goblins and trick-or-treaters have left town until next year. The turkeys are in hiding, fearing for their lives. Retailers are already hard at work trying to get us into the Christmas spirit, and it’s high anxiety for many small businesses, for whom holiday sales represent make-or-break for the year. We know you’re busy, but spending a few minutes looking over this month’s articles/videos/workshops could teach you something that boosts your bottom line.

WORKSHOPS

November is chock-full of workshops:

• Your Business Plan

• Financial Fundamentals

• Transaction Planning 101

• Small Business Tax Workshop

• How to Start Your Own Business

In December, it's The Artist as Entrepreneur. And don’t forget, our SCORE Success Pass allows you to attend an unlimited number of workshops over a three-month period for only $50!
