Do You Have Your Plans Ready?

I will be hosting a live meeting on March 24th for Microsoft as part of the 5W50 series on the four plans that we use in HTG to provide a well rounded look at life and business. The plans we will discuss are:

- Business plan
- Leadership plan
- Life plan
- Legacy plan

The event is code WES36PAL and it will be held at 9:00 AM Pacific that day. Register at www.mssmallbiz.com/training. The session is titled Four Plans That Can Change Everything and that is exactly the potential outcome from the session. If you learn to use these plans, you can change the result of your life and business. Without planning, you leave things up to chance and quite honestly have far less opportunity to achieve your dreams or succeed. Invest an hour and join me for this webcast. To register go to www.mssmallbiz.com/training and select the appropriate session. There are many other great sessions available as well. Hope to meet with you online that day!
