*stats in Small Business Quarterly, Aug/10 Of Canada's 2.7 million self-employed*, the fastest growing group is age 55+. As others do, autumn-years entrepreneurs want fulfilment and productivity... just with better pacing! To many (maybe you?), that's entrepreneurship. If so, call on Sandy, herself a seasoned micro business owner, to explore your own 'Me, Incorporated' – mid-life or otherwise. An engaging facilitator, Sandy's earned the right to be positioned as a top resource on the realities of micro biz and home base, along with insights of hundreds of homepreneurs, as you'll uncover through Me, Inc. Manifesto workshops or 1-to-1 sessions, such as on:
- (re)framing your messages and mindset, reflecting your Me, Incorporated brand;
- motivators in choosing self-employ (or leaving it) – perhaps as an autumn years entrepreneur – and issues that may impact loved ones invested in the choice; or
- other Me, Inc. talking points you may ask of this applauded leader for micro biz.
