GrowthWheel Series

Take a 360-Degree View of Your Business Learn more at http://www.valleysbdc.org/event/growthwheel-workshop-series/ GrowthWheel® is a visual toolbox for decision-making and action-planning for start-up and growth companies. GrowthWheel helps you build or expand your business through a simple action-oriented process that stays true to the way most entrepreneurs think and work. The flexibility of the GrowthWheel toolbox allows us to choose and adapt just what is needed to meet your needs. GrowthWheel was designed around the observation that all businesses - in all industries and life stages - have four lasting challenges in common: You must create an attractive Business Concept, build a strong Organization behind it, develop lasting Client Relations, and do it all while maintaining profitable Operations. Within those four challenges, GrowthWheel provides 20 focus areas encompassing all you need to consider for starting, managing, and growing a business. In this new workshop series, we'll work together to create a profile of how your business is doing, identify future opportunities and obstacles, and draw up an action plan to move you forward. Join us for the Free Introduction and Overview on Feb 9 and then the 10-session series beginning Feb 23. We meet 8:30-10:30am at The Bridge in Fishersville. The series meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday from Feb 23 to July 12. Fees: Feb 9 is FREE to everyone! The Series is only $150 for members of the Greater Augusta Regional Chamber of Commerce, and $200 for non-members. Your fee covers 10 sessions and all 20 focus areas, your GrowthWheel Notebook and Worksheets, plus light breakfast and coffee at each session. Bring the Team! Because GW is such a dynamic tool that covers all aspects of your business, you will benefit if more than one member of your team attends. Send a second or third member from your organization for only $50 each. They can attend all sessions or pick and choose according to their roles and the topics.
