LEO Dublin City Women in Business Network Event
Title: Achieving your Personal and Business Financial Goals
followed by Networking
While making money is an important goal for anyone starting or running their own business, we can end up spending our time and energy working really hard but without making meaningful progress towards our financial goals. At this month's event, our three expert speakers will shine a light on three aspects you can focus on. Alana Kirk will talk about why women need a money mindset, Melissa Boyle will talk about what women need to do to achieve financial well-being, and Carmel Seery will share tips on the key things we should do to make sure we're making money in our businesses. The talks will be followed by networking over wine/soft drinks.
Women and Money Mindset
It's not about how much money you have, confidence is all about how you think about the money you do have, and your capacity around it. Mindset determines whether you have a scarcity or abundant approach to money. Alana will be explaining the context of women's mindset to money today, and providing simple ways to enrich your confidence to cultivate a wealthy mindset.
Financial Wellbeing for Women in Business
Melissa will discuss the importance of building a strong financial foundation for now and the future. Join her for an empowering session on financial wellbeing, specifically designed for women in business. In this event, we'll explore the four essential pillars that contribute to a strong financial foundation and the importance of aligning your financial decisions with your values. This talk will provide insights and practical strategies to help you take charge of your financial future and thrive in your entrepreneurial journey.
How to make sure you’re making money in your business
Experienced accountant Carmel Seery will share some tips on how you can make sense of your figures, make the time you work count and maximise your profit, so your business can thrive.
There will be tea/coffee and sandwiches available before the talks and the evening will finish with networking over wine.
