Bold Moves Need a Smart Start: Build With Systems, Support, and Clarity

Starting your business takes courage—but sustaining it takes community. In this empowering and practical session, Vicki James shares the truth too few solopreneurs hear: you don’t have to earn support. You just have to accept it.

Through personal stories and real-world lessons, Vicki unpacks what it means to launch with the right people in your corner—from mentors and peers to systems and tools. You’ll discover how letting go of the "do-it-alone" myth can accelerate growth, reduce burnout, and help you make bold moves with confidence and clarity.

Vicki draws from 25 years in corporate project and financial management, and her current work with small business owners through Beyond Aligned Books and Thrive Hive, to deliver inspiration with zero fluff.

You’ll walk away with:

• A new lens on where overwhelm really comes from (and how to avoid it)
• A starter map for building your personal business support hive
• Stories and systems that prove clarity, community, and courage go hand in hand
