About this Event
About the Facilitator
From Hope to Profit guides participants through the critical shift from hobby-style operations to serious business ownership—replacing hope, hustle, and fear-based decision-making with structure, systems, and grounded leadership. Drawing on real-world examples and lived experience, this session helps owners understand how demand, pricing, documentation, financial tracking, and boundaries directly impact profitability, stability, and long-term survival.
Participants will gain:
- Clarity on whether their business is built on demand or personal passion
- Tools to identify and eliminate “hobby behavior” that limits growth
- A practical understanding of how structure, systems, and policies drive profit
- Insight into pricing, boundaries, and professionalism that increase credibility
- A leadership mindset that supports team stability, retention, and scalability
- A framework for using failure as information—not a setback
