Who Wants To Hang In Real Life?

 

Entrepreneurship can be really hard. It’s an emotional rollercoaster ride with many ups and downs.

Most of us don’t start off with big teams; it’s often just one person—the solopreneur—out there chasing dreams.

Sure, it’s cool being your own boss and having total autonomy with every decision, but it’s easy to get overwhelmed.

You might be unsure where to spend your time, energy and money most effectively. And when there’s no one to bounce ideas off of, we have no idea if the issues we’re going through are common or if it’s just us.

If unchecked, this isolating approach to entrepreneurship can become too intense and lead to overwhelm and burnout.

Entrepreneurship can be really hard… but it doesn’t have to be.

One solution that has been a game changer for me is to find a carefully curated community of like minded entrepreneurs and build real and meaningful connections.

Careful curation is key.

You want to find other entrepreneurs who are at a similar stage of their business, with similar values, and who are equally hungry for real connection.

For me, that means it can’t just be about money and business. I look for other entrepreneurs who value balance, family, health, FUN and going deep on a wide variety of topics.

These types of interactions and relationships need time to develop. They also grow best when you can actually be in the same physical space with one another.

This November I will be attending my first Savvy Social Retreat.

It’s located at a gorgeous hotel in Niagara Falls.

It’s 3 days of carefully curated discussions, workshops, meditations, meals, and lots of free time to organically connect with 30+ heart centred entrepreneurs.

My hope is that we are all able to rest our overworked minds, so that we can bring our walls down and connect in a sincere and meaningful way, so that we all walk away feeling empowered, inspired and recharged.

Also, I will be facilitating the opening session on the Saturday with a heart expanding 90 minute deep dive that will include many of my favourite mindfulness tools: meditation, journaling, breathwork and more.

There are a few tickets still available if you are interested in joining us.
