A Business Strategy Workshop for San Diego Small Businesses
6 hours. 3 businesses max. 1 plan for your business - co-designed in the room by you, Sam and the rest of the cohort.
You know your business better than anyone. You have plans, ideas, maybe even a rough roadmap in your head. Between client calls, operations, or putting out fires, when do you ever get to actually sit down and think about what your building?
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️This workshop not only gave me clarity but it energized me. I have taken many business workshops and classes that give great information but leave me feeling overwhelmed and disempowered. It felt like the perfect blend of support/brainstorming with others and trusting myself + my inner knowing of what’s best for my business.”
How it works:
The Clarity Clinic is a proven method that starts with the real problem (not the assumed one), generates more options than you thought possible, and helps you make decisions you can actually commit to.
You’ll bring a specific problem; something that’s keeping you up right now. Through simple, hands-on exercises, and with the support of the group, you’ll work through the fog, find clarity, and make a plan to solve it.
What you’ll leave with:
A prioritized 30, 60, 90 day road map to clarify the next steps your business needs to thrive.
Fresh perspective from an intimate community of other small business owners; people who get what you’re facing.
A simple set of tools to give you confidence for long term challenges.
A sense of relief, focus, and energy — clarity and momentum instead of chaos.
Who leads this?
Sam spent 10 years at Google helping the worlds most complex teams get unstuck and make better decisions. Now he brings those same methods to small business owners in San Diego. The tools are proven. The attention is personal. The investment is justified.
Join the movement of small business leaders embracing clarity, creativity, and empathy in every business decision.

Taylor, Cohort 4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“The Clarity Clinic was a powerful experience. I went in with a general idea of what I had going with my business but didn't know how it interfaced with my clients, what direction to take it, and I definitely didn't have a gameplan. The name is perfect because I literally walked away with clarity about it all. The guidance through the process was constructive and fun. We developed ideas, refined them, organized them, and I came away with a strategy. I've developed upon it all over the past few months, and I couldn't have done it without Sam and the Clarity Clinic. I highly recommend it.”

Ian, Cohort 2 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I was skeptical going in because I had been thinking about this stuff for months, so what could this workshop do for me? I was super wrong, I got a lot of clarity and energy from your workshop. Very good content. I felt very in flow during and hyped up about my next steps after leaving. Thank you 🙏"

FAQ
-
Clarity Clinic is a small-group, hands-on workshop for small business owners. Over 6 hours, you’ll work on a real challenge from your business using clear, practical tools. It’s structured collaboration time, guided by someone who spent a decade at google bringing leaders together to cut through the noise.
-
Clarity Clinic is designed for small business owners, operators, and leaders who are juggling real decisions right now, but anyone in business can enroll. You don’t need to know anything about design thinking or strategy to participate. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to prioritize next, you’re in the right place.
-
You’ll leave with: a) A clearly defined vision of the challenge you’re working on. b) A practical 30/60/90-day roadmap. c) Tools you can reuse on future problems. d) Energy about your business, a sense of confidence in your own decision-making. Most people tell us they feel lighter-more grounded-walking out than when they walked in.
-
Most classes focus on information. Most coaching focuses on advice. Clarity Clinic focuses on how you think. You’ll learn a repeatable way to frame problems, generate options, and make thoughtful decisions. And you’ll do it alongside other small business leaders, not alone.
-
Groups are intentionally small and welcoming. You won’t be put on the spot or asked to pitch your business. Psychological safety is a core part of the experience. People tend to show up honest, generous, and curious—and that tone is set from the start.
-
Just come with your most pressing current business challenge. Something real. Something that’s been sitting in the back of your mind. We’ll take care of the rest.
-
Time is precious. That’s why the workshop is short, focused, and designed to produce immediate value. Many participants say the workshop prompted decisions that would have taken them months to arrive at alone. If clarity would save you time, energy, or costly missteps, this is a strong investment.
-
You won’t be dropped and forgotten. You’ll receive follow-up resources, check-ins, and an open invitation to stay connected to The Clarity Clinic community. If you want additional support, you can book time with Sam—but there’s no pressure. The goal is to leave you stronger, not dependent.

When to use this method.
When you know the problem you want to solve, but not how to solve it.
Why this method works.
First, it helps you get into the right frame of mind, then diverge your thinking to generate a high volume of ideas, then converge to prototype how to realize them.
