Grow your business without the burnout in this 1-hour workshop that’s designed to help you move from a solopreneur to a CEO mindset. As solopreneurs, we’re often the biggest bottleneck in our business. Even if we’re content to remain a Company of One, our habits, fears, capacity limits, and decision-making patterns directly impact revenue, growth, and sustainability.

In this introductory workshop to the Solopreneur to CEO Mindshift, we will explore: ways to break free from the Solopreneur Trap, how the CEO Shift™ Framework can transform the way you lead your business, and the next-level thinking that’s required to make strategic decisions with confidence.

The Grow to Lead Network for Women is designed to support female founders in the Kingston and Quinte region as they transition from the role of solopreneur to CEO of their business.
