July 15, 2005 – The UVI Small Business Development Center is presenting two seminars: "Insurance Planning Strategies for Small Businesses" and "Investment Concepts and Educational Planning Strategies for Small Businesses".
The seminars are scheduled for Monday, July 18, and Tuesday, July 19, respectively, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the University of the Virgin Islands Small Business Development Center Training Facility, Nisky Center Suite 720 on St. Thomas. The presenter is Mr. Julito Francis, vice-president/financial consultant of Popular Securities. Pre-registration is required. Admission is $20. UVI students, staff and veterans are admitted free with valid identification, UVI-SBDC said.
The release from SBDC states that status, ego, greed, cost and fear influence people to make faulty decisions about insurance coverage and investing. These two seminars focus on helping business owners and individuals to remove emotions from their decision making. Participants are taught to find intrinsic value as opposed to perceived value that are created by marketing efforts, such as designing insurance and investment programs. The overall emphasis is on the strategies you need to achieve your goals.
