Description

The Bow Valley Chamber of Commerce Book Club meets every 6 weeks to discuss a book that will help you to grow in your business. The BVCC Book Club offers not only relevant business tools, inspirations, practices and teachings, but the opportunity to converse and connect with fellow local business owners. Join us as we discuss, learn, and network together.

This month, we're digging into “Profit First: Transform Your Business from a Cash-Eating Monster to a Money-Making Machine" by Mike Michalowicz. 

Order your copy today at Cafe Books | Profit First . 

***Registration is required***
There are only 10 spots available to give enough space to all attendees to actively participate in the conversation. 

We will begin with an icebreaker and a roundtable followed by prepared questions or statements to discuss regarding the book and are closed with a final roundtable. 

Haven’t read the book? Don’t let that stop you from coming to hear more about it. The conversation surrounding the book is just as beneficial as reading the book.

No food or beverages are provided. Children are welcome.

The book club is facilitated by Simon Moreau, a local business owner and board member at the BVCC. 

Simon discovered Canmore in 2015 where he quickly decided to set roots here and start exploring the mountains either trail running, mountain biking, climbing, skiing or hiking. When not playing in the great outdoors, Simon is guiding small business owners who feels owned by their business and don’t know where their cash is going to take control of their cash flow and to build a business that supports their best life. All this without the stress of not understanding the accounting and financial jargon. His simple and clear method will get you to have a growing and profitable business. All are welcome and invite a friend!  

More about our book pick:

Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows. With dozens of case studies, practical, step-by-step advice, and his signature sense of humor, Michalowicz has the game-changing roadmap for any entrepreneur to make money they always dreamed of. 

Thanks to the Canmore Library for providing the space to gather.
