Business Breakfast Connections

Getting Your Financial House In Order For 2019

Sponsored by The Carrington at Lincolnwood

Join fellow Chamber members and guests for networking opportunities at our business breakfast connections. This event will include time for informal networking, brief introductions, and round table discussions that can give you business leads and referrals.

Every individual (and business) has a financial foundation based off of four basic elements: Income, Expense, Assets, and Liabilities.

In this session we'll raise a few basic questions regarding each element which will allow participants to:

• Take a 'financial picture' of the present.
  
• Look at possible changes (both plus and minus).
  
• Develop scenarios to manage those changes.

We'll look at ideas for both individuals and businesses.
