“ The only way to predict the future is to create it.”  -Peter Drucker

 

As I write this, the outside temperature is going from 18 degrees F this morning to 47 degrees by this afternoon. Finally!  This month, we are working with more than 171 small business owners who are invited to attend one of our 14 Community Advisory Boards or Private one-on-one mentoring sessions over Zoom. The topic is one we have been talking about since November 2020: How to consistently drive revenue in 2021. This month, we are going to get into the nitty gritty details of all the ways we care and would like to use Facebook to drive more revenue to our businesses. We are also at the end of Q1 so everyone will be reporting on their Q1 Rocks and Q2 goals, which we always ask as follows:  (1) Am I clear about where I want to take my business? (2) Am I clear about the top three business challenges I have to overcome in the next three months of the year? (3) Am I clear about how I am delegating some of these tasks to others? (employees, contractors, sub-contractors, or vendors).

In 90 minutes of talking, writing, sharing, laughing and listening this month, here is the schedule for March 2021:

Calendar of Events: PowerLink March 2021:

Here is the Calendar for March 2021 (Community Advisory Boards).  If you are not already registered and interested in joining any group (you may do up to two meetings per month with your program fee), just email or text me. It  is $150 per month plus any scholarship that you qualify for if you decide to participate. The first meeting is always complimentary thanks to our foundation and grant sponsors.  Thanks to a multi-sponsor scholarship program through PNC Charitable Trust, Standard Bank Foundation, FNB Bank Foundation, Huntington Bank and Citizen’s Bank (2020/2021), we may be able to lower program fees to free or $25 if you qualify.
