Boundaries For a Thriving Business
2025-10-16 09:00 - 22:30 | Online via Zoom, 30 Federal St, Brunswick, 04011, United States
Many female business owners find that they are repeatedly asked to do unpaid work, work that is not within their skill set, or work that leaves them tired and at risk of burnout. However, running a business is not inherently draining — especially when you have the tools to set healthy boundaries.
In this 6-week cohort led by Hannah Curtis, we will combine structured discussions and skill-building instruction to help you learn to say no, set limits, prioritize your work, and build and grow a business that really works for you.
Join a group of supportive women business owners from all around Maine who are ready to work on boundaries to sustain their businesses together.
Who Should Attend? This multi-session peer group is designed for Maine-based female business owners who are currently in business. We define “in-business” as having formalized your business structure with the State of Maine (Sole Proprietor, LLC, etc.) and that you are actively selling your product/service.
Sessions will take place on Zoom on the following dates:
Thursday, October 16th, 9:00am-10:30am
Thursday, October 23rd, 9:00am-10:30am
Thursday, October 30th, 9:00am-10:30am
Thursday, November 6th, 9:00am-10:30am
