Classes and Workshops: Business Strategy

We are huge fans of Galia Gichon of Down to Earth Finance, and her Simply Money program. We know the value of financial planning, and how it is different for entrepreneurs and small business owners who do not have guidance (or automatic savings plans) from HR departments. Therefore, we've teamed up with her to bring you Smart Money for Entrepreneurs. Galia has been heard on the Today Show, CNN, Freelancers Union, and more. Click here for Galia's full bio. You can also get financial planning tips from her newsletter, Down to Earth Finance.
 

This 4-week seminar will focus on helping you keep you keep budgets, manage cash flow, and stay on track for a self directed retirement savings plan (as opposed to an HR department saving for you). It’s running/yoga/pilates for your bank account. You will come away feeling confidential and with a plan.

During the Simply Money course, we’ll talk about everything from how to make your money go further and ways to plug your budget, to finding mutual funds and determining asset allocation.
