Business Workshop in the City of South El Monte

On 01/18/2023, the team of William Stephanie Foun­da­tion (WSF) was invit­ed by the City of South El Monte Gov­ern­ment to join a New Year Lun­cheon and host a busi­ness work­shop. Dur­ing this two-hour work­shop, the team of William Stephanie Foun­da­tion pro­vid­ed one-on-one free coun­sel­ing and free resources to local busi­ness own­ers of the City of South El Monte. The Chair­man of the William Stephanie Foun­da­tion, Mr. Daniel Sieu, was also invit­ed to give a pre­sen­ta­tion in front of the pub­lic about the lat­est gov­ern­ment pro­grams and oppor­tu­ni­ties. The event end­ed in a fes­tive atmos­phere and every­one left with hap­pi­ness, great infor­ma­tion about busi­ness pro­grams and oppor­tu­ni­ties, and bright smiles.

The best moment is the one-on-one coun­sel­ing ses­sion dur­ing the work­shop. William Stephanie Foun­da­tion did­n’t get a lot of inquiries at first. How­ev­er, WSF still patient­ly and care­ful­ly pro­vid­ed advice and insights for each client (includ­ing self-employed and start-up busi­ness own­ers). As a result, the exist­ing clients start­ed to spread WSF ser­vice to their friends and fam­i­lies who also attend­ed this event, and we got great par­tic­i­pa­tion in the end. 

The audi­ences pri­mar­i­ly include self-employed indi­vid­u­als and start-up busi­ness own­ers (eth­nic­i­ty: most­ly Asians and Lati­nos), such as insur­ance agents, health­care work­ers, con­trac­tors, artists, etc. Dur­ing this event, WSF key take­away is that most self-employed indi­vid­u­als and start-up busi­ness own­ers do not have a thor­ough under­stand­ing of the U.S. fed­er­al and state pro­grams (PPP, EIDL, ERTC, etc.), as most of them have not heard of them before. Edu­cat­ing com­mu­ni­ty busi­ness­es about the great gov­ern­ment pro­grams and refer­ring insti­tu­tion­al resources (such as SBDC, WBC, and non­prof­it busi­ness advo­cates) should be our pri­or­i­ty at this moment. 

The rea­son for hold­ing this busi­ness work­shop is to con­nect the South El Monte Com­mu­ni­ty to gov­ern­ment resources & pro­vide a space to net­work in order to build a sus­tain­able econ­o­my with­in our com­mu­ni­ty, and help busi­ness own­ers of all eth­nic­i­ties to real­ize their Amer­i­can dreams.
