SPECIAL EVENT – New Year, New Business You!

It’s a New Year and time to resolve to do new things.  One of those might be to update the pictures on all of your media outlets:  website, bios, board photos, LinkedIn, Facebook, you name it. 

As business women, it’s all about time.  How much time would it take to get hair and make up done, consult with a stylist to make sure you are wearing something flattering, right colors and accessories and then get a professional headshot taken and sent to you that you like? 

Some say this is impossible, we say you can get it all done before lunch. 

NAWBO DFW will be having a event that does just that.  Come with a basic look and our stylists (hair, makeup and accessories) will give you just the right touch ups to be picture perfect ready. 

A professional photographer will take your photo and send you a digital file to use for all your media needs.  Just that easy.  You will also learn about the ABC’s of Style from a professional expert and have many retailers and items to browse and shop. 

When:  Friday, Jan 27th,  8:00 – 10:30am

            8:00am – registration

            8:30am – ABC’s of Style, Breakfast

            8:30-10:30am – Stylist/Photography 

            *exhibitors open from 8am-10:30am           

 Where:  NYLO Las Colinas, 1001 West Royal Lane, Irving, TX 75039

 Cost:  $75 per person (includes breakfast, access to all stylists and a digital file of your photo)

$99 for exhibitors

Dallas Area Meeting - Business Bucks Basics-Get A Handle On Company Finances In 2012

As business owners, our time is occupied producing the products we sell, rendering the services we offer and managing those we hire to assist with these tasks.  Often times we neglect the essential function of assessing how our business is doing financially.  Too often we do not know the best way to forecast cash flow, prepare for pending financial obligations and therefore determine the best way to most profitably run our businesses.  

Through this presentation, Tiffany Hunter of Opulence Group will offer insight to inform business owners of practical methods and tools to track those business bucks.  Information provided will include: preparation of financial details, how to make the financial data fit your specific needs, how often reviews should be performed, who you need as part of your financial team to assist with these tasks and much more.

Women wear many hats in their professional and personal lives.  We devote a lot of our time and energy to our businesses, but also take the time to ensure that our families are operating well.  In order to ensure that our businesses are operating well, we must regularly evaluate our progress and not just our income but overall profitability.  

By taking the time to review the basics of your income, cash flow fluctuations, and true profits, you will be more knowledgeable about how to maximize the time spent in your business.  These assessments will reveal the greatest areas for improvement and identify sources of potential savings.
