So many small business owners are stuck in the hustle—working harder, trying more, and still wondering why profit feels just out of reach. The truth? It’s not about doing more. It’s about strengthening the right foundations.
In this eye-opening and practical session, Sharon Galluzzo walks business owners through three of the most commonly overlooked essentials that quietly shape the success—or failure—of a business. Drawing from her proven 7 Pillars of Profit framework, she reveals how gaps in areas like money management, product delivery, and outreach can slowly drain energy, revenue, and growth potential.
Participants will walk away with:
A fresh look at what profit really means—and why it’s more than just numbers.
Three high-impact areas they can assess and strengthen immediately.
A clear sense of what’s missing in their current foundation—and how to fix it.
This talk delivers both clarity and motivation, leaving business owners feeling empowered, supported, and ready to make the changes that truly move the needle.
You speak every day—so why do the most important conversations still miss the mark?
Your tone gets misread. Your message gets lost.
People pull back, hesitate, or miss the point completely.
And once again, you're left thinking, “Why didn’t that land?”
This real-world session with Joey Natale isn’t about polishing your pitch. It’s about uncovering what’s getting in the way—and how to
shift it for good.
You’ll walk away with three powerful changes you can make today to communicate with more clarity, lead with more presence, and
have conversations that actually move your business forward.
If you’ve ever left a meeting, pitch, or tough talk thinking, "I should’ve said that differently..."—this is where it changes.
