Startup Chippewa Valley '25 | Turning Big Goals into Tiny Actions

Startup Chippewa Valley 2025: Becoming Resourceful | November 10–14

Event Series Overview

In a world where technology evolves daily and challenges come faster than ever, resourcefulness is the true advantage. Startup Chippewa Valley celebrates that spirit — the ingenuity, adaptability, and grit it takes to turn an idea into impact.

This year’s theme, “Becoming Resourceful,” explores what it means to build smarter, stronger, and more sustainably in 2025 and beyond. From harnessing the power of AI to mastering time-tested principles of entrepreneurship, each session, workshop, and conversation will equip founders and small business leaders to do more with what they have — and build toward what’s next.

Whether you’re a founder scaling your dream, a future entrepreneur preparing to leap, a small business owner ready to grow, or a community leader or investor supporting innovation in the Valley, this is your week to connect, learn, and celebrate what makes our region thrive.

Turning Big Goals into Tiny Actions

Thursday, November 13 | 2-3:30pm | The Coven Co-Working Space

As we all work to start and grow our small businesses, we can run into some stumbling blocks that slow us down. Maybe you're too busy meeting client needs to build up new programs or find new customers. Or you have too many ideas to know where to start. And sometimes your goals feel so big, you don’t even know where to start!

In this interactive session, Kelly will help attendees take big goals for business growth and turn the goals into regular tiny actions. When a task or goal feels too big, it can be paralyzing to get started. And when we’re already busy on projects that are producing revenue now, it can be hard to commit to spending time on projects that might produce revenue in the future.

Let’s help each other find ways to start taking tiny actions to meet our big goals!

Join this session to learn:

• Ways to prioritize your tasks
• Understanding your strengths and weaknesses
• The value of creating habits
• The importance of accountability
• Focusing on accomplishments
