Wrapping up 2021: 2 key events in preparation for the new year.
Season’s Greetings🎅
December is the only time of the year when we are unusually reflective, thinking of our wins, near-wins and losses. Have you ever wondered why we aren’t this reflective in, say June, or August?
Based on past trends ☺️, we believe this period of reflection is the perfect time to host two important webinars that will help you as you plan for 2022.
Business Outlook and Opportunities for MSMEs in 2022
The best way to predict the future is to create it - Abraham Lincoln.
At this time of the year, there are lots of insights and trend reports that give you an idea of what the coming year will look like. This removes guesswork as you’re armed with vital information that enables you to position your business for success.
On Wednesday, December 29th, we will be discussing those trends. It won’t end there though. We will explain what it means for you as a small business owner and also show you how you can take advantage of these trends to have a successful 2022.
Please register on the link provided below. We will send you periodic reminders and also share the meeting link with you a day before the webinar.
P.S. We know you’d probably be grooving with detty december and all. But abeg try attend so you won’t have a dirty 2022 🤪.

A step-by-step guide to setting your business goals in 2022
If you believe in goal setting, this is for you. If you don’t believe in goal setting this is equally for you. People often think goal setting is a big deal and would shy away from having their goals set.
On January 6 [when you’ve fully recovered from detty december and are ready to get down to business 😀], we will show you the mistakes a lot of small business owners make when setting goals and what you can do better.
It doesn’t end there. The webinar is going to be hands-on. What we mean is, you aren’t going to sit passively and hear us speak till the end of the webinar. We’re making it the most interactive webinar you will ever attend as we will stop occasionally to take your questions.
Why else should you attend?
We will give you a goal-setting template that you will use to set your goal and receive feedback right in the webinar.
We will add you to our Facebook Community where you will exchange ideas, get help and grow with other small business owners.
You will be paired with an accountability partner whom you will have periodic check-in with [at a time that works for both of you] to encourage you and ensure you’re still working towards your goals.
If all these appeals to you, please register and invite your friends too. We will share the meeting link a day to the webinar.
