RISE & THRIVE BUSINESS LAB-Small Business Strategic Planning & Goal Setting for 2026
Do you ever feel busy in your business but not always confident you’re working on the right things? You’re not alone — and that’s exactly what this session is designed to fix.
Join us for a one-hour, hands-on workshop focused on helping small business owners and entrepreneurs create a clear, realistic plan for 2026. We’ll break down strategic planning in a way that actually makes sense for small businesses — no corporate buzzwords, no overwhelm.
During this session, you’ll:
Assess where your business is right now
Identify what’s working and what needs attention
Learn how to set focused, achievable goals for 2026
Turn big ideas into clear, actionable next steps
You’ll leave with clarity, direction, and a short list of priorities you can actually stick to — not just another to-do list.
Perfect for startups, side-hustlers, and established business owners who want to work smarter (not just harder) in the year ahead.
