Lynne EdwardsParticipant
Woohoo! Conference registration just opened up and I’ve already reserved my spot. Also a wonderful room at the DeSoto [https://www.thedesotosavannah.com], a beautiful hotel in the heart of the city’s historic district. Hope to see all of you there!
Lynne EdwardsParticipantJennifer, don’t give up! It takes time to develop a reputation where others will feel confident entrusting you with their business … or referring others to you for assistance. It’s all about relationships, right? Have you gotten involved in a local nonprofit organization; church; or other organization/venue where people can get to know you personally? How about offering classes at the local adult learning center or library? Of course these activities won’t translate into billable hours quickly, but by working ON your business now, you’ll build a solid foundation for working IN your business down the road a bit. Good luck!
Lynne EdwardsParticipantTodd, I just checked and found myself (and others) with zip code search — but not you. Have you completed a Directory Entry? I recall thinking it was cumbersome to have multiple profiles, but I think that may be the problem for you (and others who don’t show up in zip code searches.
Lynne EdwardsParticipantOops, I forgot to include one additional resource for children / financial education that another conference attendee recommended to me. She wrote: “Lots of good (and free) information at Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Federal Trade Commission: http://www.consumerfinance.gov/consumer-tools/money-as-you-grow/.”
Lynne EdwardsParticipantThank you, Barbara! Several others provided recommendations, as well. Here is a recap:

2. Warren Buffett (http://www.smckids.com/)
3. Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz (https://communitytable.parade.com/584763/carrieschwabpomerantz/ask-carrie-what-financial-lessons-did-you-learn-from-your-mother/)
4. Feed the Pig (https://www.feedthepig.org/plan-ahead/starting-a-family/teaching-kids-about-money#.Wgki04hrxPY)
5. Smart Money, Smart Kids by Dave Ramsey & Rachel Cruze (https://www.smartmoneysmartkids.com/)
6. Junior Achievement (https://www.juniorachievement.org/web/ja-usa/press-releases/-/asset_publisher/q4WH4nMou1cw/content/id/4031832)
I look forward to hearing additional “tried & true” resources from other colleagues.

Lynne EdwardsParticipantGreat conference (as usual)! Caitlin, another attendee had an idea that may be worthy of consideration: during session Q&As, some members offer comments/suggestions instead of asking questions. While those comments are often useful, they take up time and limit the number of questions that can be asked. Instead of allowing comments during Q&A, ask that they be made using these Forums.
