You were therefore not profitable.True or False?“How can you attend Educational Conventions (ALOA, ISC West) with no out-ofpocket expenses for airfare, housing, tuition?We’ll uncover clues to improve profitability so that there won’t be a need forovertime or 24/7 hours or lost weekends- EVER!We’ll discover how to use OPM (Other People’s Money) to fund retirement programs (you have more than one, don’t you?) and the REAL goodies.Whether you’re the business owner, an involved partner or an employee lookingto buyout the boss, you must have a working knowledge of business planning.Bring a willingness to learn and discover what your competitors might have already found out! Sometimes Uncle Sam will subsidize your dreams and goals.You won’t be disappointed (except perhaps at the instructor’s humor) while youinvest a day in building yourself.Class fees:Lunch is included.NLA Members (2022 Dues paid): 100.00Members with unpaid 2022 dues & Non-members: 200.00Registration: Ryan Andersen, PresidentPhone/text: 402-499-3195Email: [email protected] Address: 736 West Leon DrLincolnNE68521-3760
