A Practical Planning Session for Business Owners Ready to Scale
Growth doesn’t happen by accident — it happens through clear goals, honest reflection, and intentional execution.
Vision 2026 is an interactive, in-person working session designed for established business owners who are ready to scale with purpose over the next 12–24 months. Using the Greater Roanoke & NRV SBDC Goal Setting Workbook, participants will step back from daily operations to assess where their business is today, define what meaningful growth looks like, and build a realistic plan to get there.
This session is hands-on and practical. Business owners will work through guided exercises to reflect on wins and losses, identify non-negotiables, uncover bottlenecks, set measurable revenue and operational goals, and translate those goals into clear actions and timelines. Peer discussion and facilitated guidance help participants pressure-test ideas and strengthen accountability.
During this session, you will:
Reflect on business wins, losses, and missed opportunities to inform future decisions
Clarify your Vision for 2026 and set intentional, values-aligned goals
Identify bottlenecks, glass ceilings, and capacity constraints limiting growth
Break revenue and operational goals into realistic milestones
Prioritize actions using SMART goal planning and outcome-based thinking
Align your time, energy, and resources to support sustainable growth
Establish accountability and feedback loops to support follow-through
Who should attend:
Business owners with 2+ years in operation
Entrepreneurs thinking about scaling revenue, capacity, or impact
Owners feeling stretched and ready to grow more intentionally
Business leaders who want structure, clarity, and accountability—not fluff
Participants will leave with momentum, having begun their planning workbook, identified priority actions, clarified their growth direction, and gained peer insights and connections to ongoing SBDC resources.
