The contract you never updated. The license you meant to renew. The process that only works because you are the one running it.<\/p>\n<p>Sheretha Gordon, CEO of Strategic Steps Consulting, LLC, leads a working session on building the foundation that lets a business scale without breaking. This is about the unglamorous parts, and they are the parts that decide whether growth is sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>You will learn how to recognize common legal and compliance risks, strengthen your contracts, policies, licenses, and records, and get clear on cash flow, profitability, budgeting, and financial controls. You will identify the operational bottlenecks limiting your growth and work out when to hire, automate, delegate, outsource, or simply stop doing something.<\/p>\n<p>You will also build repeatable processes and standard operating procedures, clarify who owns what on your team, and leave with a practical roadmap for scaling on purpose.<\/p>\n<h3>Event Details<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Date:<\/strong> Wednesday, October 7, 2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time:<\/strong> 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM CDT<\/li>\n<li><strong>Format:<\/strong> Online.
