Hera Hub Carlsbad GURU Asako Okuma Svolopoulos is a Financial Education Entrepreneur and Senior Marketing Director at Revolution Financial Management. She manages two San Diego offices as well as a team of associates, delivering trustworthy financial education and expertise to clients from all walks of life.

• What are the savings and tax consequences of my financial choices?
• How much insurance do I need and what types should I consider?
• Are there products where I can grow my money and still have access to it without penalty or taxation?
• What are the rules and regulations for tax-deferred accounts and benefit plans?
• Are there financial professionals who will work with me if I don't have a lot of money?

____________________________________________
Lucy Kelleher is the founder of Keep Them Loyal. In her "former" life as a litigation paralegal and elementary school teacher, she quickly learned how important building relationships was to a successful business. When she became a full-time entrepreneur, she realized that her relationships with clients and business partners was even more critical to her success. She no longer saw her contacts daily or even weekly! She had also started networking and needed to connect with potential referral partners and business resources. She began to create systems to ensure that she stayed connected as well as stayed “top of mind” to them.

She assists business owners grow their business by helping them build relationships with their clients and referral partners. We work one-on-one or in small groups to create their own client retention and referral programs by strategizing ways to stay connected.

What is a CRM? There are so many of them out there! How do I decide if I need one and then which one do I choose? Do they all cost money?

I have a stack of business cards from various events I have attended. What do I do with that stack of business cards?

I'm feeling overwhelmed that I am not handling the clients and leads that I have now - I'm hesitating in attending events and meeting new people. If I can't handle what I already have, how can I take on anything new?

What's a follow up process? How do I follow up? I can't meet everyone for coffee or talk to everyone I meet one-on-one. How do I decide who to meet and follow up with?

I network but I'm not getting anything out of it. What should I be doing?

Learn more about Lucy or connect with her during her GURU hours, on the first and third Wednesday monthly from 9:30-11am. These are open hours, but if you would like to lock in your time with Lucy, please use this optional scheduling link: https://calendly.com/lucykelleher/guru20min

Organizer: 05HH Irvine GURU Cal

Get ready to state your goals, then work toward your goals in 25 min chunks of time with the virtual support of other Hera Hub members. No need to look pretty; just have your to-do list ready and arrive ready to work for as long as your schedule allows. Hope to see you there!

Let's get some work done together!

Join us via Zoom for a Pomodoro-based coworking session.
Get ready to state your goals, then work toward your goals in 25 min chunks of time with the virtual support of other Hera Hub members.

Just because we can't meet in person does not mean that we can't network with other! Let's seize this opportunity to get to know other Hera Hub Carlsbad members and their businesses, and see how we can help each other survive and thrive in this uncertain time. The connections we make now can serve us long after coronavirus is gone.

This weekly meeting is open to any Hera Hub Carlsbad member who is interested in connecting with, learning from, and supporting other members.

Each meeting will have a group leader who will host the meeting in a round-table format with a mix of icebreaker/getting-to-know-you questions (e.g. "Would you rather...?" or "What's your fave...?") and business-related questions (e.g. "What is your ask from the group?" or "What are you looking forward to in your business?"). The meeting will last for one hour. You are welcome to attend weekly or just attend whenever you can!  

Open to all levels. Corry will guide us through meditation, pranayama (Yogic breathing), and a gentle yet invigorating and strengthening flow.

Yoga mat or beach towel encouraged. Props are optional.

Corry Lang is an emotional health coach, life coach, yoga instructor, nutritional consultant and author. Learn more about her at www.corrylang.com.

Carve out the time and space to work on your blog, book, bio... or anything!

Be encouraged, inspired, and held accountable by your peers!
