Feeling Busy but Stuck? This Networking Event Could Change How You Run Your Business in 2026

If you’re a small business owner, founder or freelancer in the North East, you know the challenge all too well: long to-do lists, mounting tasks and the sense that you’re busy every day but not always sure your next move is the right one.


That’s exactly why the Northern Tenants Networking Event is such a priceless opportunity in 2026. It’s more than just name-swapping and business cards. This is a morning built around clarity, connection and practical support to help you accelerate your business growth with purpose and confidence.


What You’ll Take Away From the Session

This isn’t about doing more, buying more tools or chasing the latest trend.

Stuart Armstrong’s session is designed to help small businesses get clear, focused and set up for smarter growth in 2026.


Topic 1: Focus, Goals & Momentum: If you’re busy but not always sure you’re moving in the right direction, this is where it starts. You’ll learn how to turn goals into action, decide what really deserves your time, and cut through overwhelm. Expect practical tools like 90-day planning and a simple Stop / Start / Continue exercise you can use immediately.


Topic 2: Systems, Technology & Efficiency: Once your direction is clear, Stuart shows how technology should support it, not complicate it. From everyday AI and automation to simple system setups, this session focuses on saving time, reducing stress and avoiding shiny-object syndrome.


Topic 3: Growth, Marketing & Customers: Growth doesn’t have to mean constant selling. You’ll explore marketing that actually works for small businesses, how to win customers without being salesy, and how consistency and relationships drive sustainable growth.


Topic 4: Funding, Support & External Help: You’ll also get clarity on what support and funding is available, what’s changing, and how to access help effectively without creating dependency.


Why Attend?

If you want 2026 to feel calmer, clearer and more intentional, this event gives you the thinking space, opportunities and practical insight to make that happen.


Book your place here at the Northern Tenants Networking Event and set your business up for a smarter, more focused 2026.
