Is your consulting practice overwhelming? Are you constantly running from one project to the next? Are you too busy to pivot the business towards the clients you REALLY want? Is the business going great, but you know you have more to give and aren't sure what to offer next?  If you've answered yes to any of these questions, strategic planning can help you.  Join consultants Julie Boll and Stephanie Davidson to explore the strategic planning framework and apply it to your business.  Julie and Stephanie will share how they have used strategic planning in their businesses, and how structured reflection and goal setting has influenced their business growth. You will learn about the strategic planning process; key metrics you can use to track the success of your business; strategies to move from the scarcity-based thinking that is keeping you stuck to intentional, growth-oriented thinking; and finally, how to drill down to what matters most to you in your business and how you will get there. Participants will have access to a strategic planning template that can be tailored to their business. This workshop is designed for established business owners, however, the strategic planning process will be helpful to those thinking about moving into consulting as well.
