“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” — Benjamin Franklin

We are likely headed toward a recession in 2023.

The goal now for small business owners is to “recession-proof” their business while remaining profitable.

How do you do that? Strengthen your core.

Like a dancer strengthens their physical core to be at peak performance on stage, so a small business owner must strengthen their financial core to grow to peak performance.

You’re invited to a special panel discussion with four seasoned business owners who will share how a decisive mindset, strong money team, and actionable strategies helped them build, scale, and sell businesses despite the financial crisis.

Their stories are featured in Tricia M. Taitt’s Amazon best-selling book Dancing with Numbers: Grow a Financial Healthy Business and Choreograph the Life You Want, which will be available for purchase and signing at this event.

Run of Show:

• 30-Minute Welcome and Networking
• 1-Hour Panel Discussion and Q&A with author Tricia M. Taitt
• 30-Minute Dancing with Numbers Book Signing
