KFS Women’s Table Talk

We know our group is golden, and

this month we’re cashing in on it!

 

We’re having a “Nothing-to-Buy Fund Raiser”

immediately following the WTT Meeting @ 9:30am. 

Not only does this fund raiser cost you nothing, you can actually make a few bucks! It’s simple bring your broken, worn out or simply unwanted gold, silver, white gold or platinum jewelry, coins, silverware, or even dental gold! You get paid on the spot, no obligation, & KFS gets a percentage from Lone Star Gold & Silver.       Can you say “Ca-ching!” A win-win for all!

Women’s Table Talk is held the third Tuesday of every month from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., here at the La Mancha Business Center. By attending the Women’s Table Talk Meeting, you’ll have the chance to meet like-minded individuals from whom you can share, learn new things and get the support you’ve been looking for as a woman owned business. Word of mouth is one of the most effective ways to market yourself and your business and Networking is about building relationships, so not only will you find clients, but friendships. Furthermore, business networking can build symbiotic relationships among peers and associates that can help test new ideas or resolve current issues your having in your business. The format is:

• Each lady has the opportunity to present their “30 Second Commercial”
• There is a “Topic of Discussion” after introductions
• “No membership fees” or requirements
• “All businesses” are welcome

Social Media Seminar

The Next Seminar is Friday, November 4, 2011

Why is this seminar important? In this new economy, social media is available 24/7/365. It’s where your customers are looking to learn about you. It’s the way to market. It’s all about growing your business. Social media is more than just doing tweets, writing on a person’s wall or connecting with 1000s of other business people. It’s a strategy. Social Media is not about the technology. It’s all about people and processes.

You are being transferred to the Social Media information and registration page.

Open House – Teresa’s Treasures

“Even after 10 years in business, I still seek opportunities to learn and grow. Stepping out of your comfort zone, and a willingness to be open to new areas of learning, is necessary to stimulate business and vital to the survival of a business. For me, I wanted to learn more about taking control of my website and how to make social media work.”

Knowledge For Success was founded at an optimal time for local businesses to have access to such education and instruction. I have known Toni Allison and many of the instructors for years. She has brought together a unique collaboration of professionals, who are experts in their fields, and have one common goal in mind, helping everyone succeed!

I recently graduated from the New Quest Program and have taken courses in Email Marketing, SEO, Facebook and Social Media as a whole.
As a way of “paying it forward” I will be sharing my success with social media and offer tips on how best to use, build, and customize these tools at the Burleson Chamber of Commerce Lunch and Learn, Wednesday, November 3rd.  In addition, I too will be teaching courses in 2011 for Knowledge For Success in my areas of expertise.”

Starting a New Business

When you are starting a new business it can be a daunting task.  You may ask yourself, “How will I make money? What will be my strategy?  How will my product or service differentiate itself from others in the market? What should my company structure be, LLC, Corporation, Partnership, Sole Proprietor?”

Great questions.  But the most important question you may be asking yourself is, “Do I have to do this alone?”  The answer is ABSOLUTELY NOT!

At Knowledge for Success we are a small business assistance center, helping small business owners like you to start and grow your business.  Our programs include First Step, the first step you would take when you are considering starting a new business. This 2 1/2 hour seminar allows you to look at what is required to start a new business, including insurance, Doing Business As (DBA) documents, insurance and so much more.

When you write a business plan it provides focus, clarity and purpose to your goals.  A written business plan helps identify opportunities in a competitive market.  We work with many banks in the area.  Bankers tell us that written business plans set you apart when you want money for your company.  The same holds true for the Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.  A written business plan is what they look for first.

“How do I write a business plan?”  You could spend countless hours working on a business plan by yourself.  You can  struggle to find business plan software to help guide  you.  Or you can choose the solution that has helped countless number of businesses find loans and grants for small business, as well as achieve their dreams and financial success.  This option is New Quest.  New Quest is a 12 week course that is held on Thursday evenings from 5:30 to 9:00.  Dinner is included.

Whether this is your first or one-hundredth time starting a new business you are not alone.  At Knowledge for Success, we are your small business assistance center, partnering with you for success.

We also specialize in HUB, Hubzone, Minority, Veteran and Women Owned Businesses.

Call us today at 682-841-2020 to see how we can help your dreams become reality.
