You Don’t Need a Retreat to Thrive

Ok, this may annoy some people and that is ok. However, one of the many and one of the biggest reasons I started coaching moms to start businesses because I was so sick of hearing certain things in the coaching world. One of those things was that I couldn’t possibly up-level my business and/or life without going on some weekend retreat in a faraway place. Well, I called bullshit. Because it was not going to happen. I was not going to just up and leave my daughter. Not happening. NOPE. But I was made to feel that I couldn’t possibly even think about making more money or running an empire without doing this kind of work.

Here is what I will say about this. It’s not true. It’s just not. I’m up-leveling my business just fine by doing the work and by putting myself and my vulnerability out there. I do not like when moms are made to feel like they have to choose business or being a mom over one another. It’s just not ok.

Do I think that retreats are great? Sure. For the person that truly wants to go on one. If I left say for a weekend I would not get anything great accomplished. I would be worried the whole time! I would be calling home and I would be texting.

Here is what I think….whatever works for you is what works. Whatever feels good for you, that’s what you should do. If you need a weekend away and you feel that going on a retreat with a coach is going to change your life then, by all means, DO IT! But if you don’t want to leave your family, don’t feel that you have to in order to change your life or make your business thrive. I have proof that works too.
