Level-up your business knowledge as you enjoy a delicious, locally sourced lunch! Heyven and Saltbox are teaming up to bring you Lunch & Learn — a casual yet illuminating monthly workshop series created especially for business owners.

Join us on Tuesday, June 25, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, as Erin Kelly, founder of Climb Away Consulting, guides us through Business Growth Strategies, Growth Barriers, and What It Would Take to Overcome Them.

Most businesses fluctuate in their growth, and it’s important to understand why this happens and the barriers that can slow you down. Erin will walk you through growth inhibitors you may not have considered and provide practical examples you can apply to your own business. The workshop will also include time for Q&A.

This workshop is not about financing, funding, or selling off your business. It focuses on the foundation of your business—your product or service—and how to connect it with the people who need it and will pay for it. It’s about laying the groundwork before addressing your current challenges. We hope you leave feeling energized and full of ideas.

Lunch will be provided by Bussin Birria, Bloomington-based taco slinging stand located in the Mall of America, offering birria tacos, street tacos, quesadillas, churros, and more.
