What IS the SOWBO Business Planning Retreat?
Our January Business Planning Retreats are hyper-focused and intentional. We hone in on the power of intimate collaboration among like-minded women. No, this isn’t a conference or girlfriend’s getaway. It’s a life-changing experience that will level up your business.
SOWBO was created by women business owners just like you out of a need for authentic community. You’ll quickly learn that the heart of SOWBO is all about serving YOU. This isn’t some selfish endeavor. Instead, this is about empowering real women to overcome the hardest obstacles, passionately pursue deep callings, make real change in the world, live a life of fulfillment, and do so together.
We believe in having fun, making memories, and taking time to rejuvenate. So, we provide an opportunity for that at each retreat! You deserve time away from the household duties and taking care of others. Our events are opportunities for you to take workations, write the expense of the trip off, and work ON the business. Just as important—to allow yourself time to dream, have fun, relax, smile until it hurts, and make everlasting memories with wonderful people.
The Goal of the Business Planning Retreat is REAL Community
Community is essential to the health and happiness of entrepreneurship. Even more, having trusted relationships provides a more efficient and joyful journey!
We spend a lot of time preparing for our retreat. Our content is structured in such a way that attendees showcase their heart early-on. This allows them to make a more vulnerable connection before we talk about important business concepts. Because who wants to discuss the nitty gritty business details with a stranger?!?
Our goal for each event is for the women to leave with new friends. To that end, we offer a platform for continued community even after the event is over. (This makes the continued friendship even easier!)
SOWBO’s Annual Retreat is for You if You . . .
- Own an existing business that sells products or services.
- Have been in business for at least one year, but you are ready to grow your revenue and profits.
- Need a few days to focus on your business (rather than in it!).
- Desire quiet time by yourself to focus, but also expert marketers nearby to ask the “how to’s.”
- Feel that you’ve got tons of ideas, but no one to bounce them off of.
- Want a tribe of women you can trust & who will understand.
- Want to make an impact in the world.
- Need to soak up the sounds of beach waves, sip on some wine on the porch swing, feel the warmth of a bonfire, and watch the sunset with other hard-working women who understand.
