Please join us for our next Business Series event on 09/19/2023 at YCNS Offices (insert address) from 8-10am for the Grow Here Now small business strategic planning event.
Overview:
We get it, you’re busy. Up to your eyeballs in the day-to-day. No time to look ahead to what’s next. Unfortunately, the tyranny of the urgent is robbing you of the joy of today and the success of tomorrow. Trade two hours of your Tuesday with us for a whole lot of peace. We’ll walk through simple, easy-to-use, proven tools that work. Facilitated by a coach and business owner who has been there, done that, and has the t-shirt to prove it, this session will fly by. We’ll start with a quick picture of how things are today. Then we’ll create a model of what you want next year to look like. And we’ll create a list of the things that need to happen to get from here to there. People, process, tools, etc. By the time we’re done, you’ll have a clearer picture of where you’re going and some concrete steps to get there and a set of resources to help you stay on track, no matter how busy your day-to-day gets.
