Business Made Simple

Free, practical workshops for small business owners and side hustlers

Business Made Simple is a series of free, one-hour workshops focused on using simple tools to make running your business easier. These sessions are designed for people who already have something in progress and want practical support, not pressure or fluff.

Whether you’re organizing day-to-day work, creating basic marketing content, or learning from other local business owners, these workshops are built to meet you where you are.

All workshops are free to attend and open to anyone in the Lansing region. You can register for one or all of them.
