Week 5 of 6 in the Launch and Scale series took us into the part most entrepreneurs skip. We spent the night building out the systems that keep a business running. Not software. The actual SOPs that show how the work gets done. This is the piece that gives an owner freedom and makes growth possible. It is also the work I do inside Blooming Clarity Leadership for those who realize they skipped this step.
We opened with our guest speaker Brigid Morrissey from The Root - A Coworking Space, who shared practical insight on how systems support consistency, clarity, and long term stability especially with having a shared space with a community.
From there, we dug into the indicators that show whether a business is on track. When you know your numbers and set clear targets, you can adjust quickly instead of waiting until you are in crisis mode. We also walked through the executive summary and the appendixes that finish out a complete plan.
To close the night, everyone partnered up and worked through their plans together. They asked questions, tightened ideas, and prepared for next week’s presentations. Our mentors from Indiana Small Business Development Center (Indiana SBDC), Mike Fulkerson, Rachael Armstrong , and Nicole L. Driscoll, MSM were right there with them, helping refine the details and build confidence for the final week.
Great thanks to Ivy Tech Community College-Sellersburg, Christian Ralston for all the support.
Can’t wait for next week!
