  Journaling For Business Owners

  Are you aware that journaling is now a part of most post graduate business degrees?  And that this practice also forms part of medical training for doctors and nurses who have to make life and death decisions under pressure?

  In this not-to-be-missed presentation at our Ettalong meeting, Liz Macnamara will shed new light on Journaling and explain how you are already doing a version of it for your business.  She will also take you through an exercise specifically designed to help small business owners understand their own journey as an entrepreneur, and reinvigorate what truly motivates you as you navigate change into the future.

  
  

  Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to other small business owners and managers as you present your 20 second Elevator Pitch.

  Spread the word, invite a friend to register and make it your business to join us!

  The Real Cost Of Your Loan - What Interest & Fees Actually Mean For You

  
  

  This week's guest speaker is Paul Skene of FinTrans, who is an experienced asset finance specialist with over 20 years in the finance industry.

  Paul has built a reputation for making finance simple, transparent and tailored to the needs of each business.  Whether it's navigating complex loan structures or comparing finance options.

  When you take out finance for a vehicle or piece of equipment, the interest rate is just one part of the story.  In this practical and easy-to-understand session, Paul will break down the true cost of a business loan, including how interest rates work and what fees to watch out for.

  
  

  Plus of course you'll have the opportunity to introduce yourself and your business to those present at the meeting as you deliver your 30 second Elevator Pitch.
