Our Program Offers
The Propel Growth Cohort is designed to help business owners succeed by focusing on three core pillars: strategic business growth, thoughtful leadership development, and building a strong community.
Strategic Business Growth Planning
The program centers on the OSJ Growth Plan, a proven framework for stabilizing and scaling businesses. This isn't just theory; it's a hands-on approach. Through interactive workshops, you'll learn to apply this plan to your specific business, gaining actionable strategies and practical tools to navigate challenges and build a resilient foundation. The focus is on implementing real changes that lead to measurable growth and future stability.
Leadership Development
Our teaching philosophy is centered on developing leadership through a growth mindset and prioritizing effective business management. We help you shift your focus from daily tasks to strategic oversight, so you can build sustainable systems and focus on high-level growth. This dual approach ensures you develop both the personal resilience of a leader and the practical skills needed to grow a thriving business.
Business Community Building
A key element of the cohort is the collaborative peer network. You'll be part of a supportive community of other women business owners who are facing similar challenges and celebrating similar victories. This environment provides a safe space to share experiences, gain insights, and receive encouragement. This collective wisdom helps you navigate obstacles and build the confidence needed to lead with purpose.
Our 7 Business Growth Pillars
Our growth pillars are the foundation to master the skill of strategic execution: taking your comprehensive growth plan and actually making it happen day-to-day. This isn't just about spotting inefficiencies; it's about putting in place clear, documented systems that ensure accountability, accurately track progress, and manage your resources for maximum return. The central goal is to develop the expertise needed to turn your biggest ideas into a business that runs efficiently, and consistently increases its profits.
OSJ Program Team
We're excited to help you grow. We partner with other subject matter experts to teach business growth concepts and expose our participants to business coaches and trainings that provide over $5,000 worth of business resources at no cost to you.
