WORKSHOP DESCRIPTIONS & SPEAKER BIOS

1115 AM

ROOM 1 - Leadership 101 - The Power Of Limitless Mentorship by Powerteam Small Business Experts The secret to mastering wealth is to master yourself. Mentorship is how we learn how to do this. Without mentoring, most of us default to a mixture of patterns that either benefit or sabotage us. Without the inspired aid of mentors, we keep manifesting more of the same, and ultimately only achieve mixed results. Instead of letting life happen, make life happen: become the conscious creator of your own destiny. Then, your possibilities become limitless. The Strongbrook Mentoring Network is Strongbrook’s program for personal empowerment, with hundreds of hours of mentoring available on demand for a single monthly fee. Your instructors are people who walk their talk. They’ll show you, by their own example, your own path to unrestricted freedom.

KEVIN CLAYSON was one of the original founders of Strongbrook REIC and has served as a vice-president, coaching manager and primary loan officer for the company. Today, he assists in the production of all marketing and educational materials including writing copy, creating presentations and developing other sales tools for Independent Business Developers and Client Fulfillment Coordinators. He is also the primary creator of all the company’s educational content for their live educational events, as well as for other video and audio productions made available to online subscribers. He is one of Strongbrook’s acclaimed speakers, and can often be found speaking for audiences all over the country at the company’s live events. Kevin’s other responsibilities include assisting with the development of Strongbrook’s corporate vision and strategy, and its company culture. As a corporate trainer, he ensures that employees and independent contractors acquire knowledge of products, customer service and corporate values. Before assisting with the Founding of Strongbrook, Kevin Clayson spent ten years in retail management and merchandising, and nine years in the mortgage, finance and real estate industries. He was both a Senior Credit Manager and Assistant Branch Manager within the Wells Fargo organization, and was a self-employed licensed mortgage broker at the time Strongbrook was created. Kevin holds a BA in political science from Brigham Young University.

ROOM 2 - Business Credit Basics: Give Yourself An Unfair Advantage by Creditera Building and leveraging business credit is one way successful entrepreneurs give themselves an advantage. A business can access 10 to 100 times more credit than a consumer. You’ll need access to that extra capital. According to the Small Business Administration, insufficient financing is the second most common reason for small business failure. Yet, 85% of small business owners do not know their business credit scores and why it matters for their success. In this workshop, led by Caton Hanson, Creditera’s Co-Founder and VP of Product Strategy, we will review the differences between personal and business credit, how to build a strong business credit profile, and how to leverage credit to successfully grow your business.

CATON HANSON is a co-founder and VP of Product Strategy for Creditera. Prior to founding Creditera, Caton owned a legal services law firm focused on helping business owners understand their business credit, business plans, financial models, and legal entity. His law firm partnered with commercial lenders to serve over 20,000 businesses nationally. It was during this time that Caton realized someone needed to help small businesses better understand the importance of business credit and financial management. His expertise in this area ultimately led him to found Creditera—the only site that provides both personal and business credit information for free, along with tools to manage and leverage credit to help grow a business.

ROOM 3 - Your Private And Public Networks Continue To BLUR: Clear The Vision To Increase Profits by Earthlink Come discuss how to leverage technology to think differently about how you manage your business (and increase profits) as you and your customers private and public worlds continue to BLUR, is your network ready? Are you only considering traditional network strategies to reach your target market and optimize your costs? Join our whiteboard session to discuss a different view of embracing the cloud, managing your business applications, and how to economically and securely bridge your private and public worlds.

ROOM 5 - The Washington Small Business Retirement Marketplace by AARP Doug Shadel will lead a discussion with a panel of experts, including Senator Mark Mullet and a representative from Russell Investments, about recently passed legislation that will help small businesses offer retirement savings tools to employees. Today, a secure retirement is out of reach for millions of Americans, especially those who work for small businesses. People save more when they have a workplace savings option, but many small businesses have been unable to provide retirement plans to their employees due to high costs and administrative burdens. The Small Business Retirement Marketplace (SB 5826) will offer employers with fewer than 100 employees access to a “marketplace” of private retirement plan options, with no ongoing fees or risks to the employer. Offering employee retirement benefits through the marketplace will allow small businesses to recruit and retain talent, and empower their employees to take charge of their financial future. Washington’s legislation is part of an AARP national initiative called Work and Save.

DOUG SHADEL currently serves as the state director for AARP Washington. Prior to working at AARP, he was a fraud investigator for Washington State’s Attorney General’s Office. Dr. Shadel is a nationally-recognized expert on financial fraud that targets older persons. He has co-authored numerous studies that profile fraud victims and several books including Outsmarting the Scam Artists and Weapons of Fraud. Dr. Shadel recently testified before Congress about the rise of financial fraud in the U.S. and is an advisor to Stanford University’s Financial Fraud Research Center.

ROOM 5 - Benefits Aren't Just For The Big Guys by Colonial Life Many small businesses do not offer benefits. Many business owners don’t think they can afford them, don’t know that their business is large enough to qualify, or think they’re too much of an administrative hassle. But the truth is, you can offer a strong benefits package to your employees, even though your business is small. Did you know that if you have at least three employees, you can offer the same voluntary benefits as a large corporation – at no direct cost to you? More important, by having a more well-rounded benefits program, you’ll have a competitive edge in attracting and retaining top talent. Plus, you can help your employees protect their physical and financial well-being.

Danny is the CEO and Founder of Marketeering Group, a digital marketing agency that serves hundreds of small local businesses.
