Small Business Forum ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Small
Business Forum 7 November 2007 6.30pm for 7pm - 9pmHall Place Enterprise Centre, Harbledown, Canterbury After an extended break over the summer, we're delighted to invite you to the next SBF meeting in November, held in partnership with the East Kent branch of the Federation of Small Businesses. Many businesses under-perform or even fail through lack of direction and focus and at the heart of this often lies a failure to plan. The One Page Business Plan is a system that simplifies the creation of a business plan. It takes what most business people see as something complex and puts it into a format that becomes a tool to help manage and run a business rather than a document that rarely sees the light of day. John Dashfield of Dashfield Coaching will be showing you how to use this system as a planning tool for your own business. For further info on Dashfield Coaching see www.dashfield.com/onepageplan.htm The event is free to attend but please book your place in advance so that we know how many to cater for. To book your place at this event please go to http://www.canterbury.ac.uk/centres/enterprise- business-development/smal lbusinessforum/index.asp or telephone Lara Jefferys on 01227 782666. | |

the final chapter of the story. 5 November 2007, The Ark, Basingstoke.15.00 to 21.30 The afternoon is mostly for policy makers as it discussed in the workshops funding, employment laws, tax etc, but in then it changes into a Celebration of success for women with the launch of the DVD on Funding Enterprising Women , an inspirational panel and speaker and then supper - with lots of opportunities to network with others. Actually a really good opportunity to meet with enterprising women - and as we know being with successful people breeds success. Free event, free food, free parking and nice people what more could
