Be Your Own Bank: Self Finance your Dreams || Book Talk & Signing

Geoffrey Vango, banking & lending expert, shares how to self-finance your business dreams. Book talk & signing at Petersburg Library. Stop Waiting on the Banks. Start Building Your Own. Join author Geoffrey Vango at the Petersburg Public Library for a talk and signing built around his book, Be Your Own Bank: Self-Finance Your Dreams (2026 Edition). Vango is a commercial banking executive, commercial lending broker, real estate broker, and business professor with decades of experience financing small businesses across the country. In this talk, he'll break down the ideas at the heart of the book — how to stop relying on traditional bank loans, outside investors, or debt, and instead learn to turn your own revenue into self-funding capital. This one's especially for anyone who's dreamed of starting a business but felt shut out by the traditional finance system — no capital, no credit, no clear next step. Vango will show you how to think differently about financing your goals and start building the bank within you. Format: A 10-minute talk followed by a signing.
