Thriving, Not Just Surviving: Goal Setting & Strategic Planning Workshop
Online Event
This has been one hell of a year! I'm ready to put the roller coaster ride of 2020 behind me and set my sights on thriving in 2021. Are you with me?
You hear all the time about the benefits of goal setting and strategic planning, but have you taken the time to do this for your business or your life?
Many small business owners don't spend the time to really slow down and create the goals and action steps that lead them to success.
Having a strategic plan not only gives you a roadmap for success, but it allows you to stop being so BUSY. It gives you clarity and focus and provides permission for you to say NO to the things that don't matter.
In this workshop, we will work together to help you gain clarity on your key goals, understand the personal and professional impact of those goals, and create the first action steps moving you closer to your definition of success.
Please click the link to register in advance for this event.
This is great training offered by
 Mental Health & Recovery Board of Portage County.
