Speaker Series Session 005
Growth Mindset
Wednesday, November 25 | 6:00 PM
Charlotte Ottawa | 340 Elgin Street
You built your business on your own skills, long hours, and a lot of grit. But at some point, doing it all yourself becomes the ceiling.
Join us for Growth Mindset: From Solo Founder to Scalable Business, an honest conversation for small business owners ready to grow beyond themselves. Our panel of local Ottawa entrepreneurs started where many of you are now: wearing every hat, juggling clients, and wondering how to take the next step without losing what makes their business special. They’ll share how they made the leap from solo operator to team, what they wish they’d known before their first hire, and how they decided when (and whether) to open a second location, scale, or explore franchising.
Your First Hires: When you can actually afford to hire, and who should come first.
Letting Go: How to step back from doing everything yourself without sacrificing quality.
Systems Before Scale: The processes and structure you need in place before you grow.
Protecting Cash Flow: How to invest in expansion without putting your business at risk.
Locations & Franchising: How to know if a second location, scaling, or franchising is right for you.
FEATURING LEAD MINDS:
Amber Stratton (Founder, Pure Yoga Ottawa)
Kris Ouimet (Franchise Partner, Urospot)
Sheena Brady (Founder, Tease and General Manager, Canada, Fullscript)
Moderated by: Dr. Sam Hetz (CEO & Co-Founder, LifespanMD)
No corporate jargon, no theory from people who’ve never run a business. Just practical, hard-earned lessons from owners who’ve been in your shoes. Whether you’re a one-person business thinking about your first employee or a small team eyeing your next move, this panel will give you a clearer path forward.
You’ll leave with:
Clear ideas on when and how to make your next hire
Practical systems to help your business run without you doing it all
New connections in Ottawa’s small business community
Spaces are limited, so be sure to secure your spot today.
