Time & Location

Workshop with Miglena Hofer
About the event
In this 1.5-hour session, we’ll explore:
What a “difficult financial climate” actually means in practice: inflation, client slowdowns, rising costs.
Cash flow > revenue: Understanding where your money really goes.
What to cut, what not to cut.
Renegotiating with SVS, the tax office, vendors, office landlords, or service providers, especially in a climate where everyone is feeling the squeeze.
Marketing ≠ spending money. Showing up strategically.
Shifting from “nice-to-have” to “must-solve” offers.
Listening to what your clients now consider urgent or essential.
Free of charge with SEA Membership!
What You Will Walk Away With
Clear idea about the next steps you need to take.
Strategies to test and try.
Options if you can’t pay SVS or Finanzamt: communication, payment plans, and not hiding.
Understanding how to make your business leaner.
