Product creation changes lives. The products that you create bundle your energy into things that other people can experience.

Once you get your business to a certain level fo activity, you will need to step back. The explosive energy required to create becomes messy. So a strategic reset where you do the opposite of the e - myth. You get back into the systems of the business and simplify is often the next move. That's where I am at right now.

Getting the finance right is imperative for building your properties. This is a universal problem for anyone going from small to medium sized businesses.

This has been a painful lesson for me but I am excited to see what the next 12 months bring now that I am locked into it.

Never outshine the customer. Know your place as the retreat owner and you can serve the customer in the most nuanced and best way. I share some stories here of the mistakes I've made and how I navigate the relationships between retreat leaders and owners.
