Entrepreneurs often fail to do the things that are needed to scale a business for growth. AAARI’s 6th annual economic empowerment conference will provide you with reality based tools and skills to scale up and grow your business.

Session topics include:

  • Money for Your Business

What’s the difference between debt and equity financing? What are the alternatives? How is this connected to what your goals are as an entrepreneur? What are the consequences for your decision whether it’s crowd funding, angel, VC money or loans?

  • Social Media

Establishing a Following and Creating the Buzz Entrepreneurs. Companies need to tell their own stories on media, and not let themselves  be defined. What does it take to tell a story, develop a following and how do you leverage this to create the buzz that grows your business.

  • Get Out of  the Weeds and Lead

Are you focusing on the right things? What are you doing with your days? Learn how to get out of the weeds, and focus on the things that will allow you to lead your organization to growth.

  • Founders vs. CEOs

Are you working for the business, or is it working for you? That’s the difference between a founder and a CEO. Hear from entrepreneurs who have transitioned from founder to CEO.

  • Effective Networking

It’s not about handing out business cards and linking on line, it’s about meeting resources, partners, mentors and those who will help you grow your business. This session will give you skills to get want you want out of every networking opportunity.
