Business Owners Roundtable for Solopreneurs 

Meeting Your Needs with the Solopreneurs Roundtable 
2nd Session February 22, 2018 

Who should attend?
Owners of established small businesses in all industries and professional practices with one or two employees and a minimum annual revenue of $75,000. New participants only must preregister to ensure you meet the criteria for this Roundtable series by contacting Roundtable Facilitators Steve Kessler (kessler@scorenyc.org) or Jerry Weinstein (weinstein@scorenyc.org).

Overview

Small business owners often feel alone because their organizations are small, or they are an office of one. Exchanging support, advice and shared experience with  peers in a variety of other businesses can be an invaluable tool. 

After four successful years, based on participant feedback and our own observations, the SCORE NYC Roundtable is introducing a new format to reflect the varying needs of small businesses in different stages of growth: two distinct Roundtable groups, or series. This Roundtable series will focus on smaller businesses, or solopreneurs. A second Roundtable group will address the issues facing entrepreneurs with multiple locations or functions. 

Both Roundtable series offer participants the opportunity to learn from each other in an interactive and collaborative forum. Each business owner discusses his/her challenges and the group contributes observations and suggestions. It’s like having your own Advisory Board!  

Member-selected topics addressed by outside speakers and other participants include:

• Digital and traditional marketing 
• Sales Skills
• Leadership and company culture
• Finance, from funding to control to analytics
• Office productivity tools, time management and life balance

Where and When

Solopreneurs Roundtable meets from 8:45 am to 12:00 pm for six Thursday sessions: February 1, February 22, March 15, April 5, April 26 and May 17, at the main midtown offices of the Principal Group. Continental breakfast is provided.

We thank the Principal Group for its continuing support of the Business Owners’ Roundtable through their generous provision of highest-quality meeting space. 

Fees

$399 for new registrants with a discount for returning participants.
