Review, envision, strategize, plan ...ANTICIPATE 2012!

This just in... Opportunity International CFO Grace Loney will be joining us at noon on Friday to talk about the great work O.I. is doing to develop entrepreneurs globally.  Founded in 1971, Opportunity International is a registered Canadian charity that provides small business loans, savings, insurance and training to over two million people working their way out of poverty in the developing world.

“ANTICIPATE! 2012!” is a dynamic targeted one-day workshop, timed perfectly to provide you with reflective time and the tools you need to boost your business in 2012. This workshop  is our answer for the “busy-ness” that so often prevents small business owners from getting serious about setting and achieving strategic goals that can take their business from good to GREAT.

“It was very important to me to be able to do the hands-on work of goal-setting
right in the workshop.  I really appreciated the small group feedback as well."
Dawn Penner - Counsellor and Trauma Educator, Healing Streams

Here's What  We'll Cover

• Is the time I'm spending producing the results I'm looking for?
• Am I living out my vision, mission, and values in business and life?
• What will success look like for my business over 1 year…3 years…10 yrs?
• What am I getting personally for all my efforts?

"...Lois was great in asking the questions that got me to search for answers myself.”
