Dart Bank Profit Mastery
Description
Dart Bank is bringing Profit Mastery to you! This two-day workshop will equip you with the tools to achieve business control, survival and success.
Why Profit Master?
Starting and running a business is always a challenge, given the failure rate of 50-70% in the first four years. The economic volatility of the last few years has only increased that challenge. Profit Mastery is a leading financial management program that gives participants the tools and confidence needed to manage their businesses by the numbers. The program provides independent business owners unparalleled financial perspective and tools to take advantage of opportunities. Starting and running a business without Profit Mastery is like setting out for an unfamiliar destination without a road map. You'll be introduced to invaluable management resources that should be part of every business owner's tool kit. You'll laugh too, we promise.

Colin King, CPA, CFA, is the President of Profit Mastery and brings a powerful mix of financial expertise and hands-on business experience.
