Side Hustle without the Hustle Workshop
When: Fri. May 12, 6:00-7:30 pm
Where: Kettering, OH at the Kettering-Moraine Public Library
Cost: Free
A side hustle can be a second income stream that's based on your unique talents and interests.
Learn how to set up a side business in just 7 days by getting scrappy and focusing only on what's necessary (and ignoring what's not).
The free workshop, open to everyone with a business idea, comes with a workbook and additional resources to make it easy to get started.
Mastermind Hot Seat Cohort
As a business owner, you may sometimes feel lonely or have questions no one in your circle can answer. You need a mastermind!
By joining this Mastermind Hot Seats Cohort, brought to you by the Women in Business Network and Aviatra, you'll attend quarterly events, meet other women entrepreneurs and have the opportunity to get and give advice, feedback and support.
Here's how it works:
-
You join the cohort for the year with quarterly events. If you join after May, we will prorate the cost so you only pay for the remaining events.
-
You meet quarterly with the cohort for a light breakfast and networking for the first half hour.
-
You'll break into groups of around 10. Pre-identified members will take 20-minute turns on the "hot seat," sharing a business challenge they have.
-
Cohort members give advice, feedback and support.
-
Each cohort member will have a turn on the hot seat at least once during the year.
-
You'll learn from other cohort members, share your knowledge and get feedback about your specific business needs.
-
Hot seats are a fun, fast-paced way to improve your business and help others improve theirs.
