SUMMARY:Focus on what really matters - goals and priorities in your business

SUMMARY:Masterclass Grants and Cash Flow for Your SME Business
DESCRIPTION:Ensuring that there is always enough money in your business is not easy\, especially when you’re starting\, growing\, or innovating.

She will cover\, among other things:  \n\nWhich topics you can get funding for and where\nWhen to choose a loan\, investors\, subsidies\, or other funding sources\nWhich areas provide subsidies and free government services\nHow much money is available\nHow to apply for this funding\nWhat you need to access these funds\n\nThere will also be room for your questions on this topic\, and a free lunch!

She is the founder of Brilliant Work\, which consists of a team of 17 experts in business growth and professionalization and is a partner at the World Food Center.

SUMMARY:Workshop | Setting goals and priorities in collaboration with Startclub Arnhem
DESCRIPTION:Please note this workshop has been moved to: Monday\, April 14\, Lizanne Jakobs gives the free workshop “Goal setting and prioritization” at Startclub Arnhem. \nbecause as an entrepreneur\, it’s important to have those “vague” ideas and “hopeful” goals clear! Only in this way can you chart a focused path and determine concrete plans for the future of your business.  \nWithout clear goals for your business\, it becomes difficult to separate main and secondary issues. What do you need to do and when to get the results you would like? This gives you peace of mind to do business from there.   \nDuring this workshop you will learn how to set specific and measurable goals for the coming years and display them in a visually appealing way. Then we’ll talk about how you then plan your priorities or activities for the next 12 months so that you’re working sufficiently “on” your business and not “in” it. This workshop is suitable for just starting entrepreneurs as well as those who have been running their own business for some time.   \nPresenting is Lizanne Jakobs\, founder of Brilliant Work and well-known partner at Start Club Arnhem. This coaching and consulting firm has been voted Holland’s best for SMEs several times. Lizanne has been an entrepreneur\, business coach and speaker for 14 years and can explain complex issues very simply. She and her colleagues are accredited by both the provinces of Gelderland and the government\, to provide consultancy programs for ZZP and SME with 50-100% subsidy. In her workshops you will learn very practical things.     \nBring: pen and paper or a digital medium to write on! \nParticipation is free. Registration is required\, however.

SUMMARY:Free workshop on setting goals and priorities in collaboration with StartUp Nijmegen
DESCRIPTION:Together with StartUp Nijmegen\, Brilliant Work is organizing the free “goal and priority setting” workshop on Wednesday\, September 11\, 2024. \nWe are all bombarded every day with incoming emails\, calls\, have a lot of ideas and wishes for our business. But how do you make sure that in the coming year you start working with focus\, focusing primarily on what will really help you and your business move forward? Because as an entrepreneur\, you don’t have a boss telling you what to accomplish and how fast.   \nDuring this workshop you will learn how to set specific and measurable goals for the coming years that will help you do this. How can you translate what you may already have vaguely in your head into concrete goals? Then we’ll talk about how to then plan your activities for 2024 so that you’re working sufficiently “on” your business and not “in” it. This workshop is suitable for just starting entrepreneurs as well as those who have been running their own business for some time. And there will be more than enough time and space for your questions.     \nYou can sign up at: admin@brilliantwork.nl \nWalk-in: 4:45 p.m. \nStart: 5 p.m. \nEnd: 6:30 p.m. \nLocation: \nStartUp Nijmegen \nStation Square 26 \n6512AB Nijmegen
