How to Actually Grow Your Business – Build a 12-Month Growth Plan (Webinar)
2026-04-14 13:00 - 14:30 | NY
Most small business owners want to grow but struggle to decide where to focus next. Trying to pursue more customers, higher prices, better margins, and new offers all at once leads to wasted time, inconsistent execution, and slower growth. To grow your business effectively, you need to identify the best opportunity for your business and focus your efforts on it.
In this webinar, our expert presenter will show you how to choose the right growth strategy based on your business’s current performance, priorities, and constraints. You’ll learn how to evaluate whether your next step should be gaining more clients, increasing revenue, improving margins, or refining your offers. You’ll also learn how to identify the biggest obstacles that could limit growth, from capacity and conversion issues to pricing and margin challenges.
You’ll leave with a clear decision on which growth strategy to prioritize and a focused 12-month plan you can confidently execute.
Learning objectives:

How to evaluate your business to determine the best growth opportunity
How to decide whether more customers, higher revenue per client, better margins, or offer changes should be your focus
How to pinpoint the key constraints that could limit your growth
How to translate your decision into a clear, focused 12-month plan
