    I think that the PowerPoint presentation from each session will also be helpful as that is what I have been taking notes on.  Is it possible to get a copy of those?

    Todd, we could probably send you a notes version of the PowerPoint with slides and an area for notes if that would help.

    This first session was great reminders to spend some time on business side of things that sometimes get put on the back burner. Also, a nice refresher on the financial documents.

    I believe that I would like to explore more the ratios that were discussed and it has prompted me to get with the accountant to look over the books, fixed assets, depreciation, etc. Bookkeeper is not my strength, but I definitely want to learn more about making sure we are doing it right and really profiting as a company.

    I gained a better understanding of reading and interrupting the Income Statement.  Also how important the mission statement is for the success of the business.
