FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Finance professional to hold financial literacy workshop
STATESVILLE, N.C.- Are you struggling with money right now? Are you searching for solutions to better your financial condition? Join Edgar Bateman III on Saturday, February 28 from 10 A.M. – 12 P.M. at Fellowship Tabernacle Church in Statesville, NC.
The idea to create Millionaire Moments, a financial literacy workshop, came to Bateman due to the rough financial climate we are in at the moment.
”It’s a way to engage people face-to-face regarding their finances because everybody is struggling,” he said.
The workshop is different than many others because it focuses on the emotional aspect of money and spending. It looks at why people use their money the way they do and their financial personality. Workshop topics include:
- Building your money resume;
- Money Basics: How money works; and
- Why that dollar bill in your pocket is not money
With over 10 years of experience, Bateman’s finance career began as he started his family. Last year, however, the unexpected happened- his job was cut.
”I was a casualty of this economy last February,” he said. “The company was reorganizing, and my position got eliminated.”
After that incident, Bateman asked himself three questions: What did he really want to do? What makes him happy? What would he do for free?
Since he had had experience assisting people in developing their careers and finances, the choice was pretty clear.
”When I sat back and looked at it, I said, ‘I can see myself doing this, helping people with their money for the rest of my life,’” he said.
He wants the audience to leave feeling hope and with a simple plan.
”I really want people to walk away from this workshop and say, ‘I can get through this and here’s how.’”
For Bateman, it’s not about them leaving with a fancy e-book or handbook; it is all about the results.
”If they decide to grab a napkin off of the table and write that thing on the back of their napkin, if it’s a plan they’re going to use, then it’s the best plan in the room.”
For more information on the workshop, contact Bateman at (704) 930.1731 or visit millionairemoments.eventbrite.com. If you have specific questions and concerns, you will be able to register for a one-on-one consultation. Fellowship Tabernacle Church is located at 185 Moose Club Rd.
