The 1st Annual YBN Business Retreat
November 3-5, 2001
Hilton San Diego Resort
San Diego, California

2001 marked YBN's First Annual Business Retreat, and did we kick it off with a BANG!

Just a snippet of what the participants learned:

• Unbeatable business strategies to improve the profitability and bottom-line success of their salon!
• Tax strategies to keep more of their hard earned money!
• How to expand when you don’t have the capital. How to write a business plan with built in magnets to draw in the capital you need to grow and grow now!

It all started on November 3rd with a Reception to open the event. The evening was filled with entertainment and time for networking. On November 4th & 5th was when the real FUN took place. For the first time EVER, we brought together all of the top Business educators in the industry. Susie Fields, Julie Shepperly, Kristi Valenzuela, Ken Cassidy, Lauren Gartland and Larry Kopsa delivered 2 full days of power packed training and education that impacted all participants, personally and professionally. The attendees walked away having networked with other business owners and Industry Professionals, and learned from each other what's working and what's not. They gained resources and contacts to immediately grow their business. All attendees also received a Business Tool Kit, packed full of handouts and information from each trainer. Participants interacted with consultants LIVE, on site, available to discuss issues, ideas, and possibilities for them to create a powerful future for THEIR salon.
