In this workshop, you’ll learn how to make a budget that finally works – even if your income is unpredictable, you’re in debt, your situation is in flux, or all of the above – by using a zero-based budget. We’ll also discuss how to figure out how much to pay yourself and how to know if you can afford to make an investment in your business such as hiring an employee or giving yourself a raise. You’ll come away with tips and tricks, as well as tools and resources, to make budgeting finally work for you.
There will be time for Q & A following the workshop presentation.
