SUMMARY:Show Me the Money! Navigating Funding Options for your Business
DESCRIPTION:Funding can feel confusing or out of reach\, but understanding your options is a powerful step toward growth.

SUMMARY:Social Media Strategies
DESCRIPTION:Social media works best when there’s a clear plan behind it. This workshop is designed to help small business owners create a social media strategy that feels focused\, intentional\, and realistic. \nThe session begins with defining your social media strategy. Before posting anything\, you’ll explore why you’re on social media\, who you want to reach\, and which platforms are worth your time. You’ll learn how to set clear objectives\, understand your target audience\, and choose the right channels for your brand. \nNext\, the workshop focuses on optimizing your social media profiles.
