As you plan ahead for your business next year and ongoing, do you consider:

What global trends will continue to affect your consultancy?
How clean tech, recession, web technology and/or national politics will change the way even small businesses operate?
Do you think your services and income stream are safe from competition because of your geographical proximity to your clients?
Join us for the November WIC-SF meeting to learn how these economic realities are likely to affect you and your pocketbook. MB Deans, thought leader, analyst, entrepreneur and successful business owner will share her analysis of the trends and how they are bound to shape the way we all do business.

MB has been delivering this message to rapt audiences throughout the Bay Area. It's an interactive session in which she describes key trends and what's behind them, then engages participants in collaborative problem-solving about how to get into -- and stay -- in the game.

If you think these trends -- which are rapidly becoming mainstream -- don't apply to you because you can work on-site at clients' offices or at least meet face-to-face, or because you're "too small" to be affected, come to the November meeting to find out what MB has to say.

Don't be scared, but be prepared!
