SUMMARY:Show Me the Money
DESCRIPTION:A Cash Flow Strategy You Can Actually Use\n\n\nLet’s be honest—cash flow can make or break your business. But too often\, it’s treated like a confusing spreadsheet exercise instead of what it really is: a powerful decision-making tool. This session is here to change that. \nIn Show Me the Money\, we’ll cut through the jargon and show you how to build a cash flow statement that actually works for your business. You’ll learn what to track\, how to track it\, and how to forecast what’s coming next. More importantly\, you’ll learn how to use your numbers to make smarter\, faster decisions\, whether it’s planning for growth\, managing slow seasons\, or avoiding cash crunches. \nThis isn’t just theory. It’s real-world\, roll-up-your-sleeves\, let’s-make-this-work-today kind of learning. You’ll leave with practical tools\, insider tips\, and the confidence to take control of your cash flow\, once and for all. \nWith facilitator Ramona Gallagher.

DESCRIPTION:Enjoy an evening women’s networking event with like minded entrepreneurs.\n\n\nCalling all female ENTREPRENEURS & BUSINESS OWNERS! Join us at Town Brewery in Whitby for a Women’s Networking Event. \nWe all know running a business changes you. You grow\, you stretch\, you figure things out as you go — and somewhere along the way\, you realize your mindset and the way you show up matter just as much as your strategy. \nThis She Means Business session brings those two powerful pieces together: how you see yourself on the inside\, and how you present yourself on the outside. \nYou’ll mix\, mingle\, grab something to eat and then settle in for a combined 30–45 minutes of mindset and style insight designed just for women entrepreneurs. \nPart 1: Becoming the Future You (with Mindset Coach Liz Jakoi)\nLiz opens the evening with a conversation around identity and mindset — the kind of honest\, practical talk that helps you see where you’re heading and what needs to shift to support that growth.It’s about clarity\, confidence and building the internal foundation for the life and business you want. \nPart 2: Branding You: Where Style Meets Strategy (with Stylist Leah Gust)\nLeah follows with a down?to?earth look at how your personal style can reinforce the identity you’re building.She’ll share how small\, intentional choices with your wardrobe can strengthen your presence\, your confidence and the way people experience your brand. She’s bringing a mannequin\, a curated rack and examples to make it fun and practical.We look forward to seeing you there! \nAppetizers will be provided \nAlcohol is not included.
