Everyone wants their business to prosper; to move ahead and grow; to succeed. But it takes creativity, discipline and energy to make that happen. Above all, it takes planning.
If this sounds like something your business could use some help with, the Greater Shepparton Business Centre is holding a business planning basics workshop for new and emerging businesses.
Greater Shepparton Business Centre Coordinator Geoff Hay said that this seminar will be invaluable to small business owners and to those starting out who want to have a clear direction for their business, or need to create strategies for achieving their objectives.
"What if growth happens faster than you expected or indeed slower than you were hoping? You need to consider these and many more questions if you are to create and sustain a successful business," Mr Hay said.
"If you are a new or emerging small business, attending this practical and engaging seminar will help you address these and many other questions you may have about your business.
"This seminar will show you how to establish where your business is now and where you want it to be, devise strategies to achieve your objectives, determine your key issues and learn how to assess their priority."
Participants attending this seminar will receive a detailed workbook with clear explanations and case studies to illustrate each process, easy-to-use templates to implement your own strategies and tips on how to maintain your strategies when circumstances work against you.
The workshop will be held on Wednesday 28 April from 6.00pm to 8.00pm at the Greater Shepparton Business Centre, 70 New Dookie Road Shepparton.
To book your place in please call the Greater Shepparton Business Centre on (03) 5832 1100. The workshop costs $20 and bookings are essential.
Greater Shepparton Business Centre is funded and operated by Greater Shepparton City Council.
