WHY THIS WORKSHOP SERIES EXISTS

Creating the Small Business Workshop came from my interactions with sole traders and small business owners across my career, who began their business somewhat blinkered by their passion for their zone of excellence and exhuberance.

Starting or running a small business can be overwhelming. From legal setup and finance to branding and client connections, there’s a lot to manage — and little time to figure it out.

The SCK Business Workshop Series breaks it down into 6 interactive sessions, each focusing on two practical, high-value modules. You’ll leave each session with clarity, confidence, and actionable next steps you can implement immediately.

Interested in a PERSONAL Full-Day Session?

If you prefer learning with A real people, asking questions as they arise and exploring ideas through conversation, the PERSONAL Full-Day Workshop is designed for you. It provides you with 1-2-1 learning and facilitation, using own your business as the sample subject.

This is a full-day online workshop delivered live via Zoom ordinarily, however can be made available as an in-person session by arrangement.*

Most people begin a business by piecing information together from Google searches, YouTube videos, social media posts and well-meaning advice from family and friends.

This workshop brings those scattered pieces together, in real-time for the benefit of your very own business.

We will explore what it really takes to build a business that has strong foundations, practical structure and the best possible chance of long-term success. You will learn and understand not only what needs your attention, but why it matters.

No-one starts a business already knowing everything.

You don’t need to be an expert in finance, marketing, legal obligations, insurance, branding or business systems before you begin. You simply need to understand enough to make informed decisions and recognise where you may eventually need specialist support.

One of the greatest advantages of the PERSONAL workshop is that it is devoted to YOUR business, with a personal sounding board.

Some of the most valuable conversations happen between the teaching, when a comment, sparks a thought, which becomes an idea deserving of discussion.

This PERSONAL session gives you the opportunity to ask questions, explore ideas and learn what you need to know to make your business a viable success.

If you feel you owe it to yourself to invest a little before investing a lot, this workshop offers an honest, practical and supportive place to begin.

You will finsh the day with greater clarity, increased confidence, a realistic understanding of what comes next, and a healthy to-do list whether you’re still developing an idea or you’ve already begun building your business.

Sometimes the greatest investment you can make isn’t in your website, your branding or your marketing.

Sometimes it is investing in YOU and your own understanding first.

How does a LIVE Full-Day Group Workshop sound?

If you prefer learning with real people, asking questions as they arise and exploring ideas through conversation, the LIVE Full-Day Group Workshop is designed with you in mind.

This is a full-day online workshop delivered live via Zoom, bringing together a small group of no more than 12 small business owners, sole traders and aspiring entrepreneurs from a wide range of backgrounds.

Everyone arrives with different experiences, different questions and different ideas. That diversity becomes one of the greatest strengths of the day.

Most people begin a business by piecing information together from Google searches, YouTube videos, social media posts and well-meaning advice from family and friends.

This workshop brings those scattered pieces together.

We’ll explore what it really takes to build a business that has strong foundations, practical structure and the best possible chance of long-term success. You’ll understand not only what needs your attention, but why it matters.

No-one starts a business already knowing everything.

You don’t need to be an expert in finance, marketing, legal obligations, insurance, branding or business systems before you begin. You simply need to understand enough to make informed decisions and recognise where you may eventually need specialist support.

One of the greatest advantages of the LIVE workshop is that you won’t just learn from me.

You’ll learn from one another.

Twelve people in one room bring twelve different careers, life experiences, successes, mistakes and perspectives. Some of the most valuable conversations happen between the teaching, when someone asks the very question you didn’t even realise you needed answered.

Because the group is intentionally small, everyone has the opportunity to contribute, ask questions, share ideas and be part of the conversation.

If you feel you owe it to yourself to invest a little before investing a lot, this workshop offers an honest, practical and supportive place to begin.

You’ll leave with greater clarity, increased confidence and a realistic understanding of what comes next, whether you’re still developing an idea or you’ve already begun building your business.

Sometimes the greatest investment you can make isn’t in your website, your branding or your marketing.

Sometimes it is investing in your own understanding first.
