Plan for Success: Strategic Planning for Small Business

Running a small business means balancing vision with day-to-day operations, and it’s easy to get stuck focusing only on immediate tasks. Plan For Success: Strategic Planning for Small Business will guide you through building a practical plan that connects your long-term goals with clear, actionable steps.

In this session, you’ll learn how to define a strong vision for your business, translate that vision into meaningful goals, and spot the gaps that may be holding you back. From there, you’ll explore how to design strategies that bridge those gaps, set priorities that keep you focused, and turn ideas into organized action steps you can actually follow through on.

Whether you’re just starting out or looking to sharpen your direction, this workshop will give you the tools to plan with intention and create a strategy that works for your business.

Light refreshments will be provided.
