Building Wealth vs. Getting Rich
with Sal CincottA
Success is one thing, but how do you build long-term wealth? Working harder is not always the answer. We have all heard the phrase “work less, make more” and while that sounds exciting, it rarely works that way.
Regardless of where you are on your journey, you need a plan. What is your 2, 5 and 10 year plan? The decisions you make today can directly impact your financial freedom in the future. We all want to retire some day. The question is, are you working for your money or is your money working for you?
In this talk, Sal will discuss the path he chose and the decisions he made on his journey in going from near bankruptcy in 2007 to becoming a multi-millionaire and maintaining that wealth today.
Topics covered:
- Good debt vs bad debt.
- Real estate investments. What to look for and when is the right time.
- Retirement plans and how they can provide free money.
- How and when to explore new business ventures.
- Buying vs leasing cars.
- Understanding how tax laws can benefit you and your business.
- How to make your money work for you.
- How to build a wealth plan.
- Why the path to your second million is easier than your first.
Social Media Demystified
with Vanessa Joy
- How to use the right social strategy for YOU.
- Which insights actually matter.
- Ways to make your Instagram more engaging.

Personal Branding: It's Not Just About Your Photography
with Michelle Knight from Brandmerry
Turns out your audience is looking for something more than just a pretty picture. So what separates you from the other hundreds of photographers in your area that are accessible through a simple Google search? Your personal brand.
In this class, Michelle will help you to understand the importance and power of personal branding to stand out among a sea of photographers and build life-long clientele. You’ll learn how to harness emotional branding and storytelling to connect with your audience on a human level. You’re more than a photographer, after all, it’s time to share that!
