Part One - What Businesspeople Need to Know About the Secretary of State’s Office
Minnesota Secretary of State Mark Ritchie will discuss business services and resources provided by his office.

Part Two - Get Back On Track
You wouldn't just hop into your car and start driving on a long trip without checking your oil, filling up on gas, checking the tires, planning out where you are going, and how you are going to get there. So WHY would you start and run your business without doing the same!? Too many small business owners don't have any idea what the definition of success is for their company let alone a strategy to get there.

During this 1 hour session, you will learn how to simplify the planning process, leverage it and create organizational alignment & focus.

90% of small businesses will fail within 10 years on the top reason is that they lack a solid plan! Don’t be a statistic. Join us and see how you can breathe new life into your strategic plan and take steps to place it into action.

2:30 pm ... Registration & Networking
3:00-3:50 pm ... Mark Ritchie
