Shop Talk is a low-pressure gathering just for merchants, makers, and small business owners who want to grow their business and connect with like-minded people. Expect real talk, not fluff — with practical advice you can actually use, no matter what stage you're at.
This month, the topic is:
Your 1-page 2026 Business Plan
We’ll take a clear-eyed look at what worked in 2025, what didn’t, and what to adjust as you move forward. From there, you’ll create a high-level, actionable plan to support your goals for 2026.
This session is designed to be practical, conversational, and motivating - perfect for business owners, creatives, and professionals who want to start the year with clarity and direction.
What to bring:
📓 A journal or notebook
✨ Your 2025 reflections
🧠 An open, strategic mindset
