WHAT TO EXPECT

Has the economic happenings of late left you and your business scratching your head?  Wall Street is elated one week, then down in the dumps the next.  Hyper-inflation or deflation?  European malidies or Chinese consumerism?  Some businesses are piling up on the cash waiting out their perceived stormed while others are running out of it amidst their experiential hurricane.  Then there are the opportunists, the cowboys and the risk-takers investing heavily into their businesses.  One thing is certain, these times are ambiguous.  

Dr. Newton, a stand-out Westmont professor, will share his thoughts on start-ups and their role in the recovery.  Plan on walking away from the lunch with a better understanding of the macro and micro factors that will push and pull on your business.  May these details empower you to make the best decisions for your business in the short and long-term.    Come ready to learn.  Come ready to converse.  Come ready to compound your business efforts in positive ways.
