THE BUSINESS YOU MEANT TO BUILD WORKSHOP
September 15, Bethel CT. 90 minutes. Your business in the room.
This is a working session, not a presentation. You show up with your actual business and work through four exercises most owners have never stopped long enough to complete. You leave with something written in your own hand.
Doors open at 3:45. Session runs 4:00 to 5:30. Light food and drinks available when you arrive and after the session. This event is free to attend. Seats are limited. Registration is required.
Four exercises. All applied to your business.
You describe your business. Honestly.
Distilling down what you want your business to be to six words is extremely difficult. But it is extremely powerful for keeping you accountable for moving the vision forward and separating yourself from the competition.
Define and build towards your desired hourly rate.
Most owners end up working on tasks that the business needs to get done to move it forward, and think they can make up for what they want to pay themselves through more hard work. The truth is the wrong type of hard work does not compound into wealth. We look at what your rate should be and connect that to what you need to do to move your business towards the right hourly rate, adding another layer of accountability to doing the right work.
Identify what’s holding you back now and get over it.
This is not about a slowing market, a bad team member, inflated costs, or anything that comes to most owners on a day-to-day basis. These are the things you have 100% control of but have been too busy, frustrated, or burned out to address. We find a way to get past all that and use your business’s most valuable asset to move it forward. That’s you, by the way.
You leave with something actionable.
You refine the business you want to build, carve out your role, identify what you know is right to pay yourself, and leave with an actionable strategy and process to hold yourself accountable and move your business forward.
