Rose Caiazzo was born and raised in New York. Professionally trained in theatre and music at a young age, she continued showcasing her talents through her many performances and recordings. Years later, she was accepted into Marist College for the study of Communications, with a concentration in Public Relations. She was awarded a 4-year music scholarship by the college, in which she traveled and sang opera/secular pieces in some of the most beautiful cathedrals and basilicas in the world.
.Rose then returned to school for her graduate degree from the State University of Stony Brook in Technological Systems Management. She worked in the corporate culture of IT, Marketing and Online development for over 12 years, learning a wealth of information from large and small businesses alike.
In 2007, Rose traded the fast-paced tri-state area for a life of outdoor adventures in the wild west of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. She explored work as an adventure travel guide and now finds a uniquely balanced work schedule by both consulting and guiding. She enjoys being a creative source for her clients, while staying well connected to the outdoors. Her passion for life is evident in everything she does!

Book Arts Show At Works of Wyoming in Laramie Plains Civic Center
Artist Books Call for Entries at Works of Wyoming!
Wyoming artists are invited to submit images for jurying for an artist books show at Works of Wyoming at Laramie Plains Civic Center. Deadline for submission is August 11th, 2011. Call 307-742-6574 to get a prospectus and application e-mailed to you.
The show will open September 8th with a reception from 6:00-8:00pm. It promises to be an interesting show considering all of the definitions.
Center for Book Arts founder Richard Minsky’s definition is our guide for submitting and jurying the show.
“In Book Art the container works with the content. The materials are tactile and often relate to the metaphor of the text. In some cases there is no written text. The book is then a purely visual, totemic or iconographic work, in which the image, structure and materials are the content. The physical presence of a book, its feeling and smell, its weight, the process of moving through its pages or unfolding it speak to our deepest inner sensibilities. The very form speaks of knowledge preserved and communicated. It represents our ability to build on complex ideas which survive millennia beyond the cultures which created them.”

Profit Mastery
 |
| Farrah Rhea, Family, and Friend on a recent trip to Disney World Farrah works hard as our Director of Microlending but knows it's important to take time for family, friends, and fun! |
Speaking of balancing work and fun, just before my relaxing vacation this past week, I was fortunate to get to take a business course called Profit Mastery that is available to small business development clients through Wyoming Small Business Development Center facilitators. I took the course in Casper with SBDC business counselors training to facilitate this service to small business owners. The founder,Steve LeFever, knows that comprehending financial statements can be a dry subject. He's funny and communicates engagingly while walking us through what some might consider complex concepts and mathmatics. It was extraordinarily helpful for really comprehending how minimal action in one or more sectors of your business can significantly impact your net profit, capacity for sustainability, and the value of your business, helping to grow, sell, get financing, or even determine the weak areas and exact needs, rather than relying on “best guess,” at any given time.
This is a great financial management tool to analyze profit and adjust your business strategy throughout the life of your business. It is a 16 hour session and can be broken into sections for easier access by a client or a small group of clients via the SBDC facilitator.
Each section has an activity and quiz to which your own figures can be plugged in.1)An Introduction- defining success, goals, a sort of outline for envisioning the entire process from early on in the business to examining value for sale.
2)Current financial position comprehension.
3)Price-Volume-Costs, and using Break-Even to begin manipulating those features of your business.4)Cash Flow-Manipulation of timing for income and outflow can be highly affective and effective.
4)Managing Growth-How much and when, and costs of growth, how it affects other areas of your business.
5)Financing Properly and Planning for Transition-rather than doing this first, do the others first in order to get the numbers correct and establish credibility with your lender and establish real net worth.
