I realize this is the 1st part of many webinar series to help demystify various financial concepts. So why did you feel this was very important?
RD: The concept will help business owners better understand various aspects of their financial situation & how proper planning can lead to business success.
PB: So the concept was born when Ryan and I realized this social media platform is a gateway to help the business owner. We know that time is scarce to those running a business and we feel that these short webinars, getting to the point quickly, will provide timely and invaluable advice to help them succeed.
RD:
