Execution > Ideas: Why Most Owners Stay Stuck
·OnlineOnlineMost business owners don’t lack ideas. They have too many of them. The real challenge isn’t inspiration; it’s execution. Without clear priorities, ownership, and follow-through, even the best ideas stall.
In this session, we’ll break down why growth gets stuck inside small businesses and what actually drives progress. You’ll learn how to stop chasing the next strategy and start building simple execution rhythms that create momentum for your team, your time, and your goals.
Perfect for business owners who are ready to move from thinking to doing.
We've invited Laura Workman, she is a leadership execution consultant and the founder of Axletree, where she works with service-based business owners in the $2–10M range to fix the execution breakdowns that stall growth and profitability. Laura helps business owners and leadership teams turn vision into consistent execution. With expertise in leadership, operations, and execution, she bridges the gap between planning and disciplined action across frontline teams.
This event is only for CBO Core members. For just $47/month, you’ll get access to our weekly live trainings and expert speakers.

- Date: April 20, 2026
- Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
