Want to build a business that actually lasts? Start with your financial foundation.
"The best way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." If you are ready to take action on your startup dreams, join me, Steve Carver (Founder of Fast Forward Services, Inc. and Academy of Entrepreneurs and Associates), for a masterclass webinar built on 65+ years of real-world business experience.
Date: Monday, August 17 ⏰ Time: 6:00 PM EST 📍 Facilitated by: The Small Business Center at James Sprunt Community College (Kenansville/Warsaw, NC)
What you will master in this 2-hour session:
📈 The Survival Mindset: How to build a base budget, realistic income/expense models, and keep "fresh bait" promotions running to ensure you never stop selling.
📉 The Golden Rules of Cash Flow: How to forecast future due dates ("pigeon-holeing" payments), build cash reserves, and collect from customers now.
📝 The Reality of Funding: Why "free" business grants are a myth, what lenders look for (skin in the game, collateral, credit), and the massive risk of the Personal Guaranty.
🤝 Alternative Methods: Creative fundraising tips using a structured "Dozen Doers" organization planner, and how to execute a formal Promissory Note safely.
"Here's the simple but powerful rule for long term success... always give people more than they expect to get." That is exactly what we plan to do in this workshop.
