1st Tuesday Connections - Jan 6 - Practical Strategic Planning for SMBs

SPONSORED BY NEW PARADIGM ADVISORS Join us on Tuesday, January 6 for From Surviving to Scaling - Practical Strategic Planning for SMBs If you do not know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere. - Henry A. Kissinger Most small and medium sized businesses leaders spend so much time working in the business that strategic planning becomes just an annual checkbox — or a binder that never leaves the shelf. But real growth requires something different: a clear direction, a simple plan your team can follow, and the discipline to work on the business so it can truly scale. This month’s panel goes beyond traditional “strategic planning” conversations. We’ll explore practical, real-world approaches to scaling — what actually works for SMBs, what doesn’t, and how to build a roadmap your team will use all year long. You’ll learn a straightforward planning framework, hear candid insights from leaders who have successfully scaled, and walk away with actionable next steps you can put into motion immediately. If you’re ready to shift from surviving to scaling, this session will help you define where you’re going — and how to get there with purpose. Join us on Tuesday, January 6 for an insightful discussion on scaling your business.
