Financial Wellness for the Entrepreneur: Building a solid foundation for your personal credit & finances
We’re all aware that personal finance isn’t taught in school, and with that, we’re often forced to learn only through trial and error. When it comes to starting or growing a business, it’s commonly forgotten that your personal credit and finances will play a huge role in the lending process. In this workshop, we will discuss accessing and analyzing your reports to apply frameworks and smart tools for everyday financial decisions while briefly touching on business credit.
Tiarra Wilkie, founder of Groundbreaking Financial, will be giving this workshop in the Morgan Boardroom.
