M & M’s: Balancing Money and Meaning in Your Work

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2012

November Luncheon Program

Balancing Money and Meaning in Your Work 

Have you sacrificed money in order to have meaning in your work? Have you set aside meaning so you’ll have enough money? Is that necessary? As women business owners, we know that one without the other won’t do; we want both. This session will enable you to:

  • Learn about the importance of both money and meaning to the sustainability of your business
  • Understand how some business owners have found a powerful balance between doing meaningful work and having financial abundance
  • See how balancing money and meaning is critical to your success
  • Discover two key questions to ask yourself to create balance in your M & M’s
  • Walk away with an action you can take to restore your own balance between making money and having meaning in your work
