  Workshop Overview: Build a Business That Grows on Purpose
  Running a business shouldn’t feel like guessing. If you’re tired of chasing every new marketing trend, working harder than ever, and still not seeing predictable growth—you’re not alone. These two sessions are designed to help you step back, think more strategically, and start building systems that support real, steady revenue.
  
  Session One (October 1): Get Clear On What You’re Really Building
  In this session, we’ll break down what it really means to think strategically in your business. You’ll learn how to create systems that attract and convert customers—without relying on hustle or hype.
  
  We’ll do a hands-on exercise to help you sharpen your market positioning and define what makes your business different. These are the building blocks for smart systems and stronger results. By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with a clear foundation and a simple assignment to apply the concepts to your own business.
  
  Session Two (November 5): Bring It Back, Break It Down, Build It Better
  We’ll kick things off with a quick recap of the big ideas from Session One. Then, we’ll dive into your homework—what worked, what didn’t, and what you learned in the process. You’ll have a chance to share what you created and get direct feedback in a relaxed, collaborative setting - getting closer to a real-world business growth strategy you can trust.
  
  Who This Is For
  If you’re a small business owner who’s done “marketing” before—but still doesn’t feel like you have a system that delivers results—you’ll get a ton out of this. Especially if you're ready to move beyond scattered tactics and start building something sustainable.
