Your Business Plan to Fund Your Future, Part 2

Many business owners are so focused on serving their customers that they don't think to serve themselves or deeply plan their business. This often leads to challenging times throughout the business, a frustrated or unexpected exit from the business, and a difficult retirement life.

By implementing the first key steps of knowing your numbers, designing your retirement, and planning your exit, you are now equipped to strengthen your business to ride through the storms and supercharge your future through purposeful planning & saving. Didn't go to part one? No problem, Andrew is a wealth of knowledge and you will be sure to learn steps for planning for the future for you and your business!

Key takeaways: • The Problem of Saving: Sometimes saving feels difficult. We will break down why this is. • The Buckets of Saving: It's time to demystify the different types of accounts and why you choose one or the other. • The Future of Saving: Let's look into that crystal ball to glimpse what the future could look like.

What happens when a customer becomes difficult, an employee feels disrespected, or a manager's feedback turns into a workplace conflict? The difference between escalating a situation and resolving it often comes down to emotional intelligence.

Join Aaron B. Kershaw, Founder and CEO of BuildingBlocs Publishing, for an engaging and practical conversation about how emotional intelligence (EQ) can help business owners, managers, and employees communicate more effectively, navigate conflict, and build stronger workplace relationships.

Aaron will share how BuildingBlocs Publishing transforms books into structured educational curricula, delivered through BuildingBlocs Academy, with learning opportunities in emotional intelligence, leadership, financial literacy, and personal development.
