10/29 - Why you need a Business plan NOW! 

Building a Successful Business Plan

The University of Oregon Department of Economics study proves business planning has a positive business impact on companies that do it!  The study shows that businesses that complete business planning are 50% more likely than those without a business plan to 1) Grow their business, 2) Secure a loan, and 3) Acquire investment capital. Join Dino Eliadas with a great assessment for whether you need to do a successful business plan or not.  Your business plan should help you achieve business self-sustainability not hinder it!  

LAST WEEK... Would You Please...

Complete this "Live Meetings" Survey

We are very interested in getting ourselves back on track, but we also want to ensure safety and demonstrate care considering the current situation with COVID-19. We would like your opinion about moving back to face-to-face or hybrid meetings. We miss seeing everyone and the nature of organic exchanges and dialogue in the meeting rooms we have shared with this community. Please take a moment to help us isolate our next steps by filling out this brief survey. Even if you have not been with us in a long while, we value your input about the needs of our community of small businesses and entrepreneurs.

ROUNDTABLE CHALLENGES DISCUSSIONS (SPARKS)

Much more than networking, at our Challenges Round participants…

  • Share what their business is
  • Share whatever challenges their business may be facing
  • Receive ideas, brainstorming, and options about your challenges from people who have been there 
  • Offer their ideas and options to support others as you’ve been supported 

After either Spark Tank form, there will be time to chat and swapped business cards with folks that you connected with for further support and discussion.

Come join us! You won’t be disappointed!
