In our August 2021 Podcast, we are going to address one of the challenging issues for Helping Professionals – running a business. 

Most Helping Professionals come to the table with a huge passion for helping people, but very little business experience. Two issues most face are: managing their finances and understanding regulations around hiring employees.  

In this podcast, we have asked three experts in the field to join us to share some tips that will help new and existing business owners learn the basics of managing their finances and understand regulations around bringing on staff.
