Holistic Financial Planning

$495.00

The course should provide the opportunity for participants to work on a financial plan – either one provided by the educator or one participants create using their own figures.

In the latter case, some work will be needed after the course to complete the plan, but participants will leave the course with a good understanding of what remains and how to do
it.

Why Holistic Financial Planning is important: By integrating this simple-to-use, cash-based planning process into your current accounting or budgeting systems, you will be able to increase your profit and improve your quality of life and your land’s health and productivity. Even if you aren’t engaged in agriculture, there will be much that applies to your situation, no matter your business or occupation.
