When: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 6:00 PM
Location: Hue-Man Bookstore & Cafe
Description: When Sandi Webster and Peggy McHale, racially mixed business partners, set out to launch Consultants 2 Go® in 2002, they had years of corporate experience and plenty of research to guide their way. But none of it prepared them for the difficulties of landing their first paying client, hiring the right staffers or the downside - yes downside - of their company hitting the million-dollar level. Through lots of trial-and-error they persevered and took notes! Should you share every detail about the company finances with your team? How do you recognize a partnership that's gone bad - and get out of it? How do you keep a business going in a failing economy? Can you really have a multi-millionaire dollar business and work from home? In this brutally honest look at the daily trials and tribulations of being a small business owner, Sandi and Peggy tackle motivational, financial and social topics with their own personal spin on how all three impacted their consulting business. Their story of how they made the shift from the corporate world to entrepreneurial success will make you laugh at some situations and nod your head in acknowledgement at others. You'll leave knowing that you're not alone - for every problem you'll face in your business, there is an answer and maybe even some gold at the end of the road.
