You did not start your business to feel like this. 

Stressed. Stretched. Constantly putting out fires and wondering when you are finally going to get on top of it. You know what needs to happen. You just cannot seem to find the time, the headspace, or honestly, the energy to sit down and actually do the strategic thinking your business is crying out for. 

That feeling does not go away on its own. 

Escape the Chaos is a half-day strategic planning workshop for business owners who are done with operating reactively. This is the time and space for you to pause. 

This time is yours. 

Four focused hours. Forty business owners who are showing up for themselves and their businesses. A structured, real, no-fluff session facilitated by Lizzie Hodgetts, Founder of Forward Focus Partners and a fourth-generation business owner who has built, run, and sold a trade business. She has sat in the same seat you are sitting in. She knows what it costs to keep running without a plan. 

You will leave with a completed one-page strategic plan, a clear priority to act on first, and something that is genuinely hard to put a price on. The feeling of knowing exactly where you are heading. 

Early bird tickets: $130. Standard tickets: $180. 
Only 40 places available.
