A workshop for values-based business owners who want to grow—on their own terms

October is a natural time to pause and ask: what do I want my work to feel like next year? What needs to shift? What’s worth keeping—and what’s got to go?

This workshop is a space to reflect, recenter, and start shaping your 2026 business around what actually matters. Not endless growth. Not productivity for productivity’s sake. But work that’s aligned with your values, rooted in care, and sustainable for you and your community. We’ll talk about how to plan for growth without replicating extractive systems—and how to navigate your next steps with clarity, strategy, and a strong sense of purpose.

We’ll explore:

• Setting 2-3 clear, values-aligned goals for 2026 that actually support your needs—not capitalist expectations.
• Spotting and unlearning harmful business habits like undercharging, overdelivering, or rushing to grow.
• Sketching a simple income + pricing plan that balances sustainability, sliding scale, and mutual aid.
• Clarifying your offers—what’s working, what’s draining you, and what needs to shift.
• Rooting your business in community care through deeper relationships and slower, more intentional marketing.

Come as you are—burnt out, hopeful, skeptical, excited—and leave with a plan that feels like yours.
