Aligned Systems:
Build a Business That Works for You
Date: Friday, October 30, 2026 | 8:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
Place: The Shop Workspace | New Orleans
Price: Early Bird: $69 through October 4
Your business is working. But is it working for you?
You built your business to create something: income, impact, flexibility, freedom, opportunity, maybe all of the above.
But somewhere along the way, growth may have created more work, more decisions, more people to manage, and more things that still depend on you.
Aligned Systems: Build a Business That Works for You is a hands-on workshop for established service-based business owners who are ready to make the business easier to run, less dependent on them, and better aligned with the life and opportunities they are building toward.
You’ll identify what is slowing your business down, determine what needs to change first, and leave with a practical plan for creating more capacity without trying to overhaul everything at once.
You're in the right room if...
Your business has grown, but the way it operates has not fully grown with it. You have clients, revenue, and real responsibilities, but too much still lives in your head or lands back on your plate.
You have a team, but you are still answering too many questions, making too many routine decisions, or filling gaps that other people or better processes should be able to handle.
You know there are things you should delegate, document, simplify, or automate, but figuring out what to fix first has become its own project.
And most importantly, you do not want your next level of growth to simply create a bigger, busier version of the business you have now.
You want a business that can grow with more clarity, consistency, capacity, and choice.
What would change if your business required less of you to keep it moving?
Maybe you could spend more time on strategy instead of chasing follow-ups.
Maybe clients could receive a consistent experience without you personally checking every detail.
Maybe you could finally make room for the higher-value work, new opportunities, family, travel, community, creativity, or simply the ability to step away without wondering what will fall apart.
That is the point of better operations.
Not more systems for the sake of systems. Not another app. Not squeezing more tasks into your calendar.
The goal is to build a business that has the structure to support where you are going and the capacity to support how you want to live.
You do not need to fix everything. You need to know what matters most.
This workshop is designed as a working business diagnostic, not a series of presentations you listen to and forget by Monday.
Together, we will look at the gap between the business you want and the way your business currently operates.
You’ll examine where work gets stuck, where the business depends too heavily on you, where your systems no longer fit the business you have today, and where changes could create the greatest impact.
By the end of the workshop, you will leave with:
A clearer picture of where your business is most out of alignment.
Your #1 operational priority instead of a forty-item improvement list.
A better understanding of what work truly requires you and what should be delegated, simplified, systematized, or automated.
An Aligned Systems scorecard to help you evaluate how well your business currently supports your goals.
Greater clarity about what you can handle internally and where outside operational support may make sense.
You will also have time to connect with other business owners over a working/networking lunch and learn from multiple expert perspectives throughout the day.
This is about more than running a more efficient business.
Efficiency is useful. Alignment is better.
A process can run efficiently and still be wrong for the business you are trying to build.
The real question is whether the way your business operates supports your goals, your leadership role, your capacity, and the life your business was supposed to help make possible.
That is what we will work on together.

Meet the Women Leading the Conversation
Throughout the workshop, you’ll hear three complementary perspectives on what it takes to build a business that supports your goals instead of competing with them: how you think about the work, how the business operates, and what you ultimately want your time and success to make possible.
Stephanie N. Mbelu

Stephanie helps service-based business owners strengthen the way their businesses operate so they can grow without becoming the person every task, decision, and problem depends on.

At Aligned Systems, Stephanie will guide you through the business diagnostic and help you identify where your operations are working against the business and life you are trying to build.
Ty Salvant
Co-host | Author | Advocate | Advisor | Founder, Time with Ty
Through Time with Ty, she brings together three areas of work that reflect what matters most to her: NOLA Homeschoolers, creating community and connection for homeschooling families; The Math Movement, making math fun and building confidence in children through play; and Time to Play, creating purposeful experiences that bring adults, organizations, and communities together.
Her work creates meaningful opportunities for people to connect, grow, and learn together. Ty brings a perspective shaped by years of building community, educating children, creating experiences, and helping people move from ideas to action.
At Aligned Systems, Ty connects building a better business to a bigger question: What is that business making possible? More time for family. Stronger communities. Meaningful experiences. And the opportunity to use our time, talents, and resources in ways that truly matter.
Coach Danni D
Speaker | Work with Ease Strategist | Author | Founder, WorkFlow
Coach Danni D helps high-achieving women move from “booked and busy” toward building businesses that support greater ease, clarity, and intentional success.
Her work combines mindset and operations to help women clarify what they actually want, remove structural bottlenecks, focus on what matters, and turn big ideas into practical action.
At Aligned Systems, Danni will challenge the assumption that doing more is always the answer and help you examine where you may be compensating for systems that need to change.
FAQs
Aligned Systems is designed for service-based business owners at different stages of growth, including beginners who want to build a strong operational foundation from the start.
If you are newer in business, this workshop will help you think intentionally about how you lead, make decisions, serve clients, document your work, and create systems that support sustainable growth. You do not need a large company, a big team, or years of operating history to benefit.
If your business is more established, you will have the opportunity to examine where your current operations are creating friction, limiting your capacity, or depending too heavily on you.
This workshop is designed for service-based business owners and real estate operators who are feeling the friction of growth — whether you're a solopreneur or managing a small team. If you're ready to stop being the bottleneck in your own business, you're in the right place.
You will leave with a clearer understanding of what is slowing your business down, the operational area that deserves your attention first, and a practical 90-day plan for beginning to improve it.
The goal is clarity and focused action, not sending you home with more homework than you arrived with.
No.
We may talk about time and capacity, but this is not about finding a better morning routine or squeezing more into your calendar.
We are looking underneath the workload at the systems, processes, ownership, decisions, and operating structure creating that workload in the first place.
No. The workshop is designed to be useful whether you decide to make the changes yourself, use your existing team, hire a specialist, or seek additional operations support.
You will learn how to think more clearly about the level of support your business actually needs.
Yes. The day includes a working/networking lunch and opportunities to connect with other established business owners who are asking many of the same questions about growth, capacity, leadership, and what they want their businesses to make possible.
Because this is intended to be a working session, not a conference.
A smaller room allows for conversation, reflection, questions, and practical application rather than simply sitting through presentations.
Early-bird registration is $69 through October 4th. Regular registration is $89.
With only 17 seats available, early registration is recommended.
You do not need another room full of advice. You need a room where you can actually work on the business.
Aligned Systems gives you dedicated time to step out of the day-to-day, look honestly at what is happening in your business, and work through it with people who understand the realities of building and running one.
Bring the bottlenecks. Bring the decisions you have been putting off. Bring the processes that keep breaking, the work you cannot seem to get off your plate, and the questions you have not had space to think through.
This is a room for real conversation, practical support, and focused action.
You will not be expected to sit quietly, collect a notebook full of ideas, and figure everything out later.
You will have space to ask questions, challenge assumptions, work through what is actually happening in your business, and leave knowing what deserves your attention next.
Because insight is useful.
But the point of this room is change.
Come ready to work on the business you have so you can begin building the one you actually want.
