Do you need an hour away from working on your business to invest in YOU?

This is your opportunity. Stay where you are, hop on Zoom, and join us.

Hear from Susan Fennema -

As businesses grow, many owners stay buried in work they should have outgrown. This interactive workshop helps small business owners step back, evaluate where their time is actually going, and make clear decisions about what they should keep doing—and what needs to be delegated or hired out.
Using a simplified Owner Activity framework, participants will identify where they’re acting as the bottleneck and create a practical plan to shift work off their plate. The focus is on clarity, leverage, and ex*****on - so growth doesn’t depend on the owner doing everything.

What Participants Will Do

✅ Review their current owner activities
✅ Identify bottlenecks and time drains
✅ Decide what to do, delegate, or hire
✅ Leave with a simple action plan
