Groundwork for starting a Business

Workshop Overview: Groundwork for Small Business

Starting and growing a small business requires more than just a great idea—it takes clarity, structure, and a solid foundation. The Groundwork for Starting a Business workshop is a practical, hands-on session designed to help early-stage business owners and solo professionals establish the essential building blocks for sustainable success.

In just two hours, participants will gain clarity on their business purpose, define their ideal client, craft a compelling core offer, and identify simple, effective marketing strategies to start attracting clients. With guided exercises, interactive discussions, and expert insights, this workshop provides a focused environment to reflect, plan, and take confident steps forward.

You’ll walk away with a Progress Tracker, an action roadmap, and practical tools you can implement immediately. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to reset your business direction, this session gives you the clarity and confidence to move forward with purpose.

Join us for this empowering workshop and lay the groundwork for a thriving small business—built on clarity, value, and consistent action.
