Restart Your Business with our New Year, New You Workshop in 2025!
We all have new year’s resolutions that fall to the wayside like reading 10 books a month or going to the gym. Business goals like increasing your sales by 10%, creating a new website, or improving your offer to customers are ones you really don’t want to ignore. But how do you put those thoughts into action?
James Court will show you how! Throughout the half day workshop, James will walk you through your company’s vision, assist with your business planning, and help you set actionable, accountable goals you can follow throughout 2025 on a monthly and quarterly basis. You will come away from this workshop feeling refreshed and ready to take on the next steps for your business.
Book for January 13th at Newton Abbot Library on 10am via Eventbrite!
Funds Raised for Libraries Unlimited at our Eat, Meet, XMAS Greet!
Our Eat, Meet, XMAS Greet on Friday was an astounding success! It was a fantastic night for Devon’s small businesses to connect with each other and have a proper Christmas bash outside their offices. The energy in the room was electric all throughout the evening, especially with James Court as the compere. From particularly creative tables lighting up the room with their rabble-rousing limericks, to bold business owners wearing their best festive jumpers and dancing the Macarena, everyone made our XMAS greet a truly memorable night.
“This event was a brilliant reminder of the importance of community among solo and small business owners, who often miss out on the festive fun. Let’s make this an annual tradition pleaaase!” – Dr. Thashna Walsh, Thashna Walsh Lifestyle Therapy
Thanks to all that came to our party and pitched in towards our charity auction. From the bottom of our hearts, your generosity contributes to Libraries Unlimited being a thriving part of our community!
