Brand Yourself Like a Pro (or Not)
DYERSBURG – This delightful workshop, titled “Branding Basics: A Canva Hands-On Workshop” (because, why not?), is conveniently located at 217 S. Mill Ave. It promises to help you wrestle with your branding skills using everyone’s favorite graphic design tool. If “graphic design” sounds like a foreign language to you, fear not; Canva is here to save the day — one infographics crisis at a time.
Step Right Up! Learn from the Canva Oracle!
Leading this grand escapade is none other than branding expert Elizabeth Pritchett. She’ll carefully guide you through Canva’s Brand Kit, a magical toolbox for those longing to curate a flawless aesthetic without resorting to a degree in fine arts. Pack your laptop, your hopes, and maybe a canister of hope. This workshop on September 16, from 10 to 11:30 a.m. is being hailed as a life-changing event for those who want to brand with the confidence of a cheetah in high heels.
Consulting the Business Whisperers
Rachel Townsend, The Mill’s Community Manager and self-proclaimed expert on all things small business, shared that branding has become “a point of conversation” among the local entrepreneurial populace. You’ll also get a sneak peek into upcoming workshops that promise to solve your business woes — including Excel, QuickBooks Online, Social Media Strategies, and Holiday Marketing. Who doesn’t want to feel overwhelmed in a cozy workshop environment?
Accounting for Non-Mathematicians
Now, if branding is your jam, but numbers induce a mild panic attack, rejoice! PARIS is hosting an equally enlightening workshop titled “Getting Started with QuickBooks Online.” This isn’t an accounting nightmare; it’s the workshop of your dreams — because who doesn’t fantasize about financial statements at night?
Financial Freedom Awaits!
Presented by the accounting wizards at CRS CPAs, this gem will be led by Wendy Butler and Emily Watkins. They’re like the fairy godmothers of finance, here to sprinkle some much-needed understanding onto your bewildered existence. Taking place on September 25 from 10:00 to 11:30 A.M., this session will help you navigate the labyrinth of QuickBooks Online like Indiana Jones — if Indy were less about defeating Nazis and more about keeping track of receipts.
Is QuickBooks the Answer to All Your Problems?

This beginner-friendly session will arm you with vital knowledge, including how to set up, link accounts, and even start a Chart of Accounts, which sounds impressive until you realize it’s just a glorified list. Get ready to mingle and ask all the questions you’ve been saving for late-night anxiety sessions!
