										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you have a clear picture of your business financials, you can make better decisions, find opportunities, and plan for the future. Unfortunately, 82% of small business owners go bust because they don&#8217;t know how to build or balance a budget.</p>
<p>WeBC has partnered with Taunya Woods Richardson, Founder of Nail the Numbers, who has created the Cashflow Canvas, a colour-coded tool that breaks down the budgeting process into eight easy-to-understand building blocks. Modelled after the Business Model Canvas (a tool that outlines your business model on one page), the Cashflow Canvas helps you transfer your financial data into a pro forma that’s as easy as painting by numbers.</p>
<p>This summer, we’re hosting a webinar series to teach women entrepreneurs how to use this simplified tool to get a clear picture of your financials. The interactive series takes you through each section of the Canvas, to draft your numbers then build your own palette.</p>
<p>This series will give you the knowledge and confidence to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Record when revenue and income are received</li>
<li>Scale your expenses and balance your bank account</li>
<li>Identify your working capital needs and budget for loan repayment</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>3 Virtual Sessions | July 22, 23, 24 | 9am to 10am PT </strong></p>
<p><strong>Cost:</strong> $80; free for WeBC Loan Clients and Vancity Women Entrepreneur Program Clients</p>
<p><strong>Facilitator:</strong> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/taunyawoodsrichardson/?originalSubdomain=ca" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Taunya Woods Richardson</a>, Founder + CEO, Nail The Numbers</p>

<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>As business owners, we know the best way to measure and ultimately achieve our desired success is to have goals and milestones. </p>



<p>If you’re like me – optimistic (AKA over ambitious) you start each year with a huge list of BHAGs – Big Hairy Audacious Goals. Then as the year progresses, they either fall by the wayside or more often than not, you get so involved in the day to day tasks of running your business, you forget about them.</p>



<p>Let&#8217;s change that.</p>



<p>Too often, we attempt to bite off more than we can chew and unless we have a degree in event planning, have mastered time management and have fairy dust as a back up, we always end up coming up short at the end of the year. But it doesn’t have to be like that.</p>



<p>If you’ve been in business long enough, you’ve heard the old adage, “How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.” No, you’re not eating an actual elephant! It’s an analogy of how to tackle a large task. </p>



<p>No matter how many different things you do in a week or a month, there are only three tasks and/or activities that account for up to 90% of the value of the contribution you make to your business. This is known as the “Rule of Three” and it&#8217;s quite simple:</p>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">1. Write down three things you want to accomplish TODAY.</h3>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. Write three things you want to accomplish this WEEK.</h3>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">3. Write three things you want to accomplish this YEAR.</h3>



<div style="height:20px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>That’s it.</p>



<p><br>Why does this work?</p>



<p><br><strong>It requires you to narrow your focus. </strong>You can’t work on a dozen goals at once. </p>



<p><strong>It forces you to work consistently on goals. </strong>With just three priorities, there’s less distraction and you are clear on what you or working towards.</p>



<p><strong>You will see the results of your efforts. </strong>Working with a smaller number gives us the ability to see a finish line in a shorter period of time and as human beings, we love to be a winner!</p>



<p><br>Give it a “tri” <em>smile</em><br></p>



<p><strong>Now Go Get Connected!</strong></p>
