SUMMARY:(Workshop) Financial Forecasting 101
DESCRIPTION:Stop guessing. Create a financial forecast that guides expansion\, controls cash flow\, and powers confident decision-making.\n\n\nYou are required to bring your own laptop—no devices will be provided.\n\nAs a business owner\, your biggest enemy isn’t the competition—it’s uncertainty. Running a business without a financial forecast is like driving a car at night without headlights; you can see the dashboard\, but you have no idea what’s coming around the bend. \n \nThis workshop is designed for the non-finance founder. We skip the jargon and focus on the one thing that keeps you up at night. \n \nBy the end of this session\, you won’t just have a spreadsheet—you’ll have a decision-making engine. You’ll leave knowing exactly when you can afford to expand\, when you need to cut back\, and how to tell your bank exactly where your business is headed.
