Our Lifestyle Business Retreat “Why should I do it?”
A very good question. This 3 day retreat is an investment of your time and money, and so it’s a question Georgie was very happy to answer recently.Â
“The 3 day retreat is for business owners and would-be founders, who want to step away from the more-for-the-sake-of-more business model and create something with purpose that aligns with their values, and makes enough of a living to work for them.
Day 1, which I lead, focuses on the business: can you take your WHY and turn it into a business that makes enough? Day 2, led by Francesca McGarey looks at marketing, websites and social media. Francesca sees through to the nub of a question, helping you find the answers you need to be able to market your products cleverly. Day 3 is led by my long-time professional development coach Alice Armstrong Scales, who takes the work from the first 2 days and gives us brilliant steps we can take to ensure that we show up every day, despite often working on our own, and not always being able to see objectives through the net of work we’ve created for ourselves. She teaches us skills to help us keep working, keep on pushing through, keep turning up, no matter how grey the skies or tough the journey.Â
The group is kept small so everyone has time to ask their own questions and we can make sure everyone gets what they want out of the 3 days. We sit round a table in my flower studio. The fire will be lit. There is delicious lunch every day at our local farm shop.
The 3 days are a retreat and work at the same time: time to step away and give oneself strategic and mindset thinking time. It is the most valuable of all the workshops we teach here at Common Farm Flowers.”
The full answer is in our latest newsletter - link in bio - but do ask if you want to know more. There are still a small number of places on our November retreat if you’d like to be spontaneous and join us or the February dates are now live if you need more lead in time.
