Appreciate the efforts of the U.S. Small Business Administration and Fairfax City Economic Development to set up and host Monday's Subs for Subs event! A few key takeaways: 1) The SBA reminded us to ensure that we keep our SAM.gov and Dynamic Small Business Search (DSBS) profiles current and aligned. Include Past Performance in your DSBS profile! Thanks Rosetta Rodwell, MBA, CFCM, CPCM and Rahel Molaligne! 2) Check our your local APEX Accelerator! I learned a ton of valuable info from Lisa Wood @ the Virginia APEX Accelerator: ·      Did you know that Virginia APEX offers a Bid Match service for $150?! ·      Focus your Capability Statements, tailor when applicable, bring them physically with you to matchmaking events! Cap statements should include: What you do, Differentiators, Past Performance and Company Info - limit use of logos and focus on key words. ·      Business Card tips - keep the back white so receipents can easily write on it, and make sure to include your capabilities! When you leave with stacks of cards, it's easy to forget who does what. 3) Build as many relationships as you can. Network, go to events, ask questions, offer to help others, connect with intention! It was great representing Evans Consulting and connecting with: Rosetta Rodwell, MBA, CFCM, CPCM Nicole Toulouse, MPA Matt Noordhoff, CSDP Brian Smith, CP.APMP, CKM Ana Bello Elliott Shawn C. Stuckey Dhaval Shrimankar Matthew Shankle Cyndi Wessels Deborah Nicholas Frank LeQuang As a Fairfax native, I loved hearing from the Mayor and the comittment to econonic development in the region I grew up in. Looking forward to the next one!

As an entrepreneur, you know the importance of financial empowerment. It’s not just about knowing your numbers—it’s about making informed decisions that drive your business forward. But what if you could combine financial knowledge with the power of networking? We hope you enjoyed last Thursday's Black Business Owners & Financial Professionals Networking Event, brought to you by the Black Entrepreneurs & Businesses of Canada Society (BEBC) & Canadian Association of Urban Financial Professionals (CAUFP). As you continue to grow your network, here are 3 ways to boost your financial empowerment: 1️⃣ Learn from Peers: Engaging with other entrepreneurs gives you insight into how they handle their finances, navigate challenges, and seize new opportunities. 2️⃣ Access New Resources: Through networking, you can discover financial tools, advisors, and products you might not have been aware of. 3️⃣ Collaboration Opportunities: Strong business connections often lead to collaborations that can boost both your revenue and your financial expertise.
