“We hosted our inaugural 17 Legal Ways Summit in November 2014 with great success,” Hadden says. “The 2nd annual Summit, Climbing Your Money Mountain, will be bigger and better, with expert speakers focused on helping the small business community increase sales and profits.”
Participants in both the inaugural event in November and the April smaller group summit appreciated the opportunity to network with other small business owners in the Chapel Hill area and to secure great information all in one place from dynamic speakers. The focus on sharing highly relevant and important business building concepts and information is valued by all who attended.
“There are so many webinars and online vehicles for learning, but we all crave in-person connection, sharing, and networking,” Needham adds. “Most of us are “in-box” weary, as we are flooded with emails from all directions every day. Taking a day to focus on building your business and sharing with others in your own business community is a gift to give yourself,” she continues.
The importance of building a strong business community locally is echoed by Richard Branson, whose Virgin Group over the years has taken part in a number of local projects close to their offices, stores, and other locations around the world.
This year’s Annual Summit will be double the size of the 2014 Summit and seats will sell out early. 17 Legal Ways is offering pre-event pricing of $97 between now and June 30, when the door for ticket sales will officially open and the price will increase to $147. For those who pre-register before June 30, a VIP Mastermind and dinner the night before is included in the registration fee.

About 17 Legal Ways to Double Your Income
Earl Hadden started the Small Business Success Project in 2011 to work with small businesses, entrepreneurs and independent professionals. After 30 years working with corporate clients, Hadden observed that many small business owners worked long hours, but didn’t achieve the successes they desired.
“There are over 50 activities that a business owner deals with on a regular basis,” according to Hadden. “They are skilled at a few, usually those about which they are passionate, yet have little or no expertise in the rest. Research has shown that most people in business spend over 80% of their time working on the activities that are not tied to generating revenue.”
In 2014, Hadden worked with a team of top North Carolina business mentors and coaches to develop 17 Legal Ways to Double Your Income, an educational program for businesses from startups to companies with up to $5 Million in sales. The focus is on helping small business owners, independent professionals (realtors, insurance agents, healthcare professionals, financial advisors, etc.), and direct sales reps grow their businesses and revenues quickly.
