SUMMARY:Why 90 Percent of Users Are Only Using a Fraction of ChatGPT’s Learning Power (And How to Change That)
DESCRIPTION:Most small business owners use ChatGPT every day but are still barely scratching the surface of what it can do. \nThey ask questions. They get answers. And then they stop. \nWhat many do not realize is that ChatGPT can function as a strategic learning partner\, a business advisor\, and a thinking assistant that helps clarify offers\, tighten messaging\, and support revenue growth when used correctly. \nIn this workshop\, participants will learn why the majority of users only access a small fraction of ChatGPT’s learning and reasoning power and how to unlock more of its potential by shifting from basic questions to strategic prompts. \nThis session focuses on using ChatGPT not as a search engine\, but as a partner that helps business owners think better\, decide faster\, and execute more consistently. \nParticipants will leave with a practical prompt cheat sheet they can immediately apply to marketing\, sales\, content creation\, and business strategy. \nBy the end of this workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand why most users only access a fraction of ChatGPT’s capabilities\nShift from surface-level questions to strategic prompts that produce usable business assets\nUse ChatGPT as a learning accelerator rather than an information dump\nApply prompt structures that support clearer offers and stronger messaging\nUse a reusable prompt cheat sheet to support revenue-focused activities each week\n\nInstructor: Deborah Deras\, Social Media Goddess\, Mindful AI Expert \n*The WEBINAR will be conducted via ZOOM.

SUMMARY:Should You Be Charging Sales Tax – What You Need to Know!
DESCRIPTION:Should you charge sales tax? What if you are selling out of state or on an online platform?\n\nThese are the type of questions that many business owners are asking. Addressing sales tax requirements has been even more confusing. On June 21\, 2018\, The United States Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in South Dakota v. Wayfair that states can mandate that businesses without a physical presence in a state with more than 200 transactions or $100\,000 in-state sales collect and remit sales taxes on transactions in the state.\n\nEconomic Nexus gave states the ability to choose whether residents receiving products/services from out of state companies should pay sales tax. Unfortunately\, this varies state by state\, requiring sellers to have an understanding about the rules specific to the states they serve.\n\nSome selling platforms handle the invoicing\, collection\, and remittance while others simply allow you to ass sales tax to the invoice. It is crucial that you understand the requirements and know exactly what services the selling platform is providing.\n\nJoin us for our upcoming seminar where will address this and other considerations regarding the collection of sales tax. This class is being taught by Lori Williams.\n\nLori Williams is a business consultant\, speaker and writer. She has over 30 years of experience in business planning\, including start-ups\, growth and expansions. Lori is a well-known expert on business finance. She believes entrepreneurs should have a basic understanding of their company’s financial health. She provides business education and advice through her on-line courses\, eBooks and individualized consulting sessions. Her eBooks are distributed through Amazon\, ITunes and Barnes and Noble. Lori holds an MBA from Pepperdine University\, BS Business and Management\, an AA in Medical Science and a Practitioner’s license in NeuroLinguistic Programming.\n\n\n\n\nREGISTER NOW \n

SUMMARY:Should You Be Charging Sales Tax – What You Need to Know!
DESCRIPTION:Should you charge sales tax? What if you are selling out of state or on an online platform?\n\nThese are the type of questions that many business owners are asking. Addressing sales tax requirements has been even more confusing. On June 21\, 2018\, The United States Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in South Dakota v. Wayfair that states can mandate that businesses without a physical presence in a state with more than 200 transactions or $100\,000 in-state sales collect and remit sales taxes on transactions in the state.\n\nEconomic Nexus gave states the ability to choose whether residents receiving products/services from out of state companies should pay sales tax. Unfortunately\, this varies state by state\, requiring sellers to have an understanding about the rules specific to the states they serve.\n\nSome selling platforms handle the invoicing\, collection\, and remittance while others simply allow you to ass sales tax to the invoice. It is crucial that you understand the requirements and know exactly what services the selling platform is providing.\n\nJoin us for our upcoming seminar where will address this and other considerations regarding the collection of sales tax. This class is being taught by Lori Williams.\n\nLori Williams is a business consultant\, speaker and writer. She has over 30 years of experience in business planning\, including start-ups\, growth and expansions. Lori is a well-known expert on business finance. She believes entrepreneurs should have a basic understanding of their company’s financial health.

SUMMARY:Cash Flow Model
DESCRIPTION:A simple financial model can be created using your company’s financial data (historical and/or forecasted). \nCFOs and financial analyst use financial models to determine if/when a company will be profitable\, what is the correct selling price\, how many “widgets” need to be sold to be cover cost and how much money is available to pay expenses. \nFinancial models are used for start-ups and for on-going analysis to make sure the company is operating at an optimal financial performance. This process is also used to identify financial issues BEFORE they happen. \nIn this session (Part 1) we will learn the purpose and importance of a managerial accounting. You will view a simple financial model and learn how to properly gather data. In the next session (Part 2) you will see a model created and analyzed using a sample company. \nThis webinar is taught by Lori Williams\, who has an extensive background in finance working as a CFO turnaround consultant\, banker and professor. She is known as the “guru of all numbers”. \nThis webinar is NOT recorded. However\, it is presented monthly and can be repeated as desired. Attendees will receive a copy of presentation materials. \nREGISTER NOW
