(exerpt from Financial Network Website)                                                                                                               Our speaker is Daniel P. Lash, CFP®, AIF® of Financial Network.  Dan joined Financial Network in November 1998 and is a partner of the Vienna Branch.  He is a Certified Financial Planner practitioner who has been active in the profession since 1996.  Dan works with individual and corporate clients to meet their fiduciary needs.  He is a board member and serves as Chariman of the Professinal Development Committee of the Financial Planning Association (FPA), National Capital Area Chapter (NCA).  With a focus on investment management, Dan also advises clients on their educational, retirement, insurance, and estate planning needs.

NOTE FROM DAN LASH: As a small business owner what can you get out of your business other than a paycheck?  How do you create a valuable business which you can sell in the future and how do you value the business to determine what it is worth?  If you would like to grow your business, how does buying a business allow you to create economies of scale and what is an appropriate price to pay for a business?  Dan will discuss these topics in more detail at the next meeting on February 15, 2011.

I love this quote I found on their website:  As in the game of chess, reaching the pinnacle of professional success requires planning, timing, experience and instinct.
