: Yet another business related question came up by young James a few days
ago.
:
: This, and a telephone chat with a WAUK member today, leads to suggesting
an
: idea I've had for a while to offer a small "seminar" - if there's enough
: interest.
:
: I have a number of Chinese postgraduate students come to my home
throughout
: the year. I provide the extra tuition, review and English language
feedback
: they need to succeed. Free, of course. So I have the structure and will to
: assist.
:
: What I have in mind is a weekend where people arrive Friday late afternoon
: for a 1-2 hour evening session. Then a full Saturday followed by Sunday
: morning. Travel home on Sunday afternoon.
:
: Proposed subjects? Personal aims and forecast; business reappraisal and
: structure; cash flow forecasting; business plan; defining a marketing
plan;
: marketing and sales (getting business); shop window (to have a portfolio
: website or not); VAB (value added business); future planning; time flow
: management and funding. Provided? Templates for CFF, business plan,
: marketing plan and other resources. Outcome? Tailored business outlook and
: income schedules for each attendee. I may put more together - depending on
: feedback and "wish list" for the time available.
:
: Folk are welcome to stay in my home or get a B&B. Sleeping bags will be
: required if too many. I think five attendees would be a suitable number.
:
: If this is a runner it would afford the opportunity for some useful time
out
:
: of daily working life. Perhaps some positive readjustment too. Oh, and an
: excuse for a beer.
:
: To be clear - I won't charge any fee and there's no hidden agenda.
:
: Comments? (Be kind!)
