Building a Value System to Avoid Burn Out and Create Joy in Your Business

How does a value system help you avoid burnout? And create more joy in your business?

Questions we will be answering!

    • What is a value driven business ?
    • What does having more Joy do for your business?
    • How do we create additional streams of revenue?
    • What does a STRONG foundation look and feel like?
    • How does a value system help you avoid burnout?

You will leave with tangible tools and resources to grow in a way that feels great and keeps you motivated in the long term. We create the STORY of you and your business and how you relate to the world around you. You get to make an impact that lasts.

Presented By: Jamie Berry
Driven by 20 years of management experience including 10 years of building strong community driven business from concept to brick and motor.

What we're about

✅ SBSH (Small Business Study Hall) is our monthly series for small businesses, start-ups, entrepreneurs and freelancers. Each month is a different topic or interactive theme. Each meetup also includes 30+ minutes of networking and meet and greet with like-minded entrepreneurs from Elgin and the northwest suburbs.

✅ We meet in the 3rd week of the month, on Thursdays.

✅ “Each one, reach one.” We also encourage you to invite a fellow entrepreneur!

✅ Although named “Entrepreneurs” meetup, this is a group for anybody looking for ideas, inspiration, mentors, or resources to assist you on your journey.
We welcome:
– Students and recent grads looking to make connections,
– Creatives needing help to market their skills,
– Corporate employees looking to build their leadership skills,
– Founders who need to improve their communication skills,
 but most importantly,
– Cool and interesting people who want to share ideas, collaborate, learn and grow together.

✅ Brought to you by The Expo Experts, ETC Coworking and HadlBran Digital Marketing.
