SUMMARY:The Business of Storytelling
DESCRIPTION:Every business owner’s and entrepreneur’s first product and first piece of marketing material should be their story; both the business brand story and CEO/Founder personal narrative. The heart of a business is reliable and relatable\, and in this workshop\, Path To Publishing’s Joylynn M. Ross and Brandy M. Miller\, will help you make it relay-able. Sharing the heart of a business necessitates going beyond the why and articulating the who\, what\, and how. \nThis is reliable content because it is part of the origin story; and although businesses may grow and develop\, the beginning\, big or small\, adds value to the journey. This is relatable content because background stories remind everyone that they started from somewhere and are still on path for what is to come. This is beneficial and an important factor for both growing the company and clientele. \nPath To Publishing utilizes proven strategies to make the heart of businesses relay-able in a way that connects to their target audience\, and in this workshop\, Joylynn is going to teach attendees how to do the same. \nIn this workshop you will learn how getting to the heart of your business will provide a strong foundation to build effective storytelling techniques that bring awareness to your brand and clients to your businesses. \n  \nJoylynn M. Ross\, CEO & Founder of Path To Publishing – a content creator and literary and professional services provider – is a Master Literary Educator and Storytelling Expert.  She served as the acquisitions editor for the Urban Books Imprint\, in which the titles were distributed by Kensington Publishing Corporation\, for ten years. Joylynn acquired and pitched the sale of over twenty-five million dollars in books\, licensing\, and rights to top buyers – Walmart\, Barnes & Noble\, Books-A-Million\, Target\, to name a few\, and she did so using the power of storytelling. As an author published on multiple major and independent imprints\, Joylynn’s literary industry success prepared her to create and deliver sales curriculum and training for clients\, enabling them to build six-figure and beyond businesses\, using their story as their first product and piece of marketing material. \nAward-winning international speaker and author\, Brandy M. Miller\, has delivered compelling and thought-provoking messages on stages from Las Vegas to London that have delighted and inspired diverse audiences across the US\, UK\, EU\, and Nigeria. She attained an Associate’s in Elementary Education and has a gift for breaking complex topics into easily digestible bits that are relatable to everyday life. Prior to joining the team at Path To Publishing\, Brandy built her business by helping small business owners and entrepreneurs get their stories written and published. She has provided sales training to professional groups and wrote a book on business development that includes instructional material on sales and marketing titled Turning Problems into Profits. \nPath To Publishing was founded to provide clients with the tools and support needed to develop\, publish\, and promote effective written communication strategies across a broad range of media. Path To Publishing’s distinctive services produce measurable competitive advantages in today’s high-stress business climate.

SUMMARY:THOSE numbers can’t possibly be correct! Can they? Learn to read and understand your reports before year-end
DESCRIPTION:Learn to read and understand your reports before year-end \n  \nBusiness owners often dislike doing their own bookkeeping. They don’t like the idea of spending time on their numbers when they could be working on growing their business\, making sales\, training employees\, taking care of inventory and all the other multitude of daily tasks.  Sometimes\, the numbers don’t make sense…or they seem messy\, so owners ignore them…what a dilemma! \nEven when you’ve hired a bookkeeper\, they give you reports that don’t make sense…or they might seem correct\, but you don’t know how to use the numbers to make decisions.  Every set of books tells a story…do you know how to read yours? \nThis workshop is designed to show you where your numbers come from and how they get into your reports.  You’ll use your Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet reports to understand how well your business is doing\, and what your numbers are telling you. \nAccounting is very similar to us reading a book.  We start with the alphabet\, and as little kids we learn the 26 letters; then we start grouping them together as short words\, then more complex words.  Words become short\, simple sentences; then those sentences become longer and more complex.  Ultimately\, we group the words and sentences into paragraphs\, chapters\, and books to tell a story.   We often read a story with fascination; other times it’s a bit bland… Accounting is no different. \nAccounting is using numbers instead of words to tell a story.  We take those initial numbers\, our money coming in and going out.  We’re going to organize them into similar groupings; then we’re going to take the groupings and place similar groupings together\, like paragraphs.  Once we have our paragraphs coming together\, we’ll then bring them together to create chapters\, and books…that we’ll share with ourselves and with others. \nSometimes\, people feel like they are learning a foreign language when they are learning accounting…they truly are; it’s the language of money; the language of business; and just like it takes practice to learn to read and speak a language\, it takes similar time to learn to read and speak the language of money. \nWorkshop Objectives: \n\nShow you where your numbers come from and how they get into your reports.  You’ll use your Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet reports to understand how well your business is doing\, and what your numbers are telling you.\nAvoid the sinking feeling of not knowing how much money is left in your bank account.\nReflect on this year and make any necessary adjustments to your budget before year-end.\nSee a clearer picture of your financial situation.\nPlan for the upcoming year and take care of any tax issues before end of year.\nIdentify areas where you may need to make changes to optimize your finances.\n\nAdditional Benefits: \n\nHave more time to enjoy the holiday season\nReduce stress during this busy time of year\nStart the new year with a clean slate\n\n  \nMarie’s Bio: \nDr. Marie Gibson is an award-winning instructor\, author\, and consultant with more than 30 years of business experience and multiple degrees in business\, agriculture\, and education. \nHer strong belief in accounting education motivated her to earn her doctorate with research that examined how students learned accounting concepts using digital\, online classes.   Her strong interest in education\, her expertise and background combined with her knowledge of QuickBooks® software\, create a dynamic skill set for her consulting clients and students. \nShe helps create efficient\, accurate\, and easy-to-use accounting systems\, and customizes QuickBooks and spreadsheets to make wise business decisions.  Marie’s advisory business offers several online self-learning programs as well as her one-to-one consulting services.  Recently she has expanded to include bookkeeping services\, as well as training and consulting services. \n \nThe Nevada SBDC is funded in part through a Cooperative Agreement with the U.S. Small Business Administration.
