QuickBooks Online and Best Accounting Practices for Small Businesses

The time has come when we need to be "portfolio people" who think of vocations, not just in terms of a single defined job or occupation, but more as a holistic body of work. In this workshop, SCORE will discuss what it takes to create a career and life portfolio and then how to live it! The topics covered are managing your career more by intention rather than by circumstance, recognizing and responding to changes in career priorities in different stages of your life, making the most of realizations - such as reaching your career peak or grasping that life is finite, with time being a very precious commodity and overcoming fears associated with going after your dreams.
