Last week, I had the opportunity to lead a business strategy workshop at the USBC National Conference.

Below is a photo of the chamber leaders from around the country who attended my session. I learned so much last week by attending the event.

Preparing for and attending the conference allowed me to:
1) consume information on my own as I prepared my workshop materials.
2) have conversations with others through the two days of activities that exposed me to new ideas and perspect
3) process and memorialize my learning by writing the blog below

As AI becomes more popular, people may spend less time on #2 and #3, and that is a shame.

Interacting with other people, and taking the time to write are two of the most enjoyable ways to learn and develop new ideas.

I encourage you to find some time to connect with someone new, especially if they are from a different region than you.

It is great to get outside of your own bubble.

Culture isn’t what you put on the wall. It’s what you tolerate every day, who you hire, and the tough calls you make when the pressure is on.

At InUnison’s Innovate Local event, a panel of business owners shared the real growing pains of scaling a company. Hearing their stories reinforced why leaders must be deliberate about organizational culture.

Here are 4 core takeaways:

Ambition gets you started. Systems keep you going.
Early on, growth relies on hustle and grit, and culture happens by accident. Once you add payroll and expand operations, you must design it on purpose. Without structured hiring, clear role expectations, consistent feedback, and real accountability, your business will drift.

Be clear on who you are.
Downplaying how intense your business really is just to fill a seat is a fast track to turnover. If you run a high-hustle environment, own it. Be direct in your interviews. Honest expectations allow the right candidates to lean in and the wrong ones to opt out before wasting anyone’s time.

The team that got you here might not get you there.
This is one of the hardest lessons in leadership. Early team members who helped build the foundation often struggle to operate at scale. Holding on to the wrong fit out of loyalty creates bottlenecks that frustrate clients and burn out your top performers.

Never hire or keep a “brilliant jerk.”
When deadlines pile up, it is tempting to overlook bad atitudes for technical skill. Giving in to that temptation backfires every time. One toxic team member will wreck trust across the entire room. What you tolerate determines the culture you build.

Building a solid business comes down to setting clear expectations, giving straight feedback, and following through on the hard decisions.

If you weren’t in the room for the latest session of The Network Incubator, you missed a lot.
The room was packed and we talked about

* Business Development & Strategy: Pinpointing target audiences, auditing past client data, leveraging testimonials, and building systematic communication templates and CRM pipelines that convert.

* Brand & Marketing: Clarifying brand positioning, defining core brand identity, and knowing exactly when and how to outsource marketing so you stay in your zone of genius.

* Planning & Systems: Streamlining daily operations with Kanban workflows, automating repetitive processes, and offloading administrative weight.

* Finance & Funding: Breaking down the essential who, what, where, when, and how of business capital and resource allocation.

* Productivity & Accountability: Implementing high-impact tools, utilizing body doubling for deep-focus ex*****on, and locking in sustainable daily routines.

Growth doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens when high-level strategy meets structured accountability and genuine community.

Do you get nervous when you have to stand in front of a room and talk about your business?

We’ve done the research! Here are the top 5 things you can do to get better at public speaking:

1️⃣ Know your topic: The better you know your business model, value proposition, and ideal client, the easier it will be to talk about your work.

2️⃣ Get organized: Writing down what you want to say goes a long way toward keeping you coherent when you start speaking.

3️⃣ Practice, practice, practice: While perfection might not be realistic, consistent practice builds real confidence.

4️⃣ Challenge specific worries: Identify exactly what you're scared of. Naming your fear weakens its power and lets you build a plan for success.

5️⃣ Visualize ahead of time: Picture yourself in the room, in front of the audience, delivering a fantastic pitch.

Want to dive deeper into these tips? Join us for an hour dedicated to helping small business owners sharpen their pitch skills!

Dorian Cunion launched Your Path Coaching and Consulting to serve as a resource for business owners aspiring to build $2 million businesses.

Growing to $200K, or even $ 500K, in revenue can be achieved through raw determination and hard work, but at some point, most busines owners stall and benefit from the thought partnership, guidance, and accountability that come from working with a business strategist.

If growth is getting hard and you feel you could benefit from some help, schedule a discovery call so we can discuss how we can help you achieve your goals.
