As an entrepreneur, stepping back from the day to day operations to strategize and dream big for your business is TOUGH! Two years ago, Allie (my best friend, business partner, and one of your hosts of Biz Retreat) and I had the idea during one of our weekly business zoom calls to book a house in sunny Arizona to escape the winter (I’m from Michigan, and she’s from Seattle) and dedicate a whole weekend JUST to our business strategies.

What happened that year was MAGIC.

We spent a weekend holistically pouring into ourselves and our businesses.

We absorbed the good energy of nature and outdoors through hikes, walks, and time by the pool.

We spent mindful mornings drinking coffee and cooking delicious breakfasts.

We strategized individually and then came together to collaboratively discuss and help each other with those strategies.

We tapped into our creativity with branding photoshoots.

Three years later, we’re returning to Arizona (this time SEDONA!) and we’ve BOTH quit our full time jobs to run our businesses full time. We both credit that first year of Biz Retreat with giving us that extra push and strategy to have been able to do this. We want to do the same for you.

  • Are a passionate female entrepreneur (running your business full-time or part-time) 

  • Crave more vision & structure in your business 

  • Struggle carving out time in your busy schedule to reflect & strategize 

  • Want to expand your network of supportive peer connections 

  • Have hopes of taking your business full time and want to develop a plan 

  • Feel imposter syndrome on your journey and want to feel more empowered as a business owner


Biz Retreat will leave you with structure, motivation & tools to take your business to the next level in 2024 & beyond.

This year's retreat will be hosted in Phoenix, Arizona from November 30th-December 3rd.

Cross-industry connection & perspective.

We truly believe that a huge part of the success of our Biz Meetings (the meetings that led to the creation of Biz Retreat) is that we're both in completely different industries.

Benefits of surrounding yourself with entrepreneurs outside of your niche:

  • There's no competition, only collaboration

  • Gain insight to the trends in other industries and utilize them uniquely in yours

  • Receive feedback from the potential client perspective as you work through your strategy and goals throughout the weekend

A strategic plan for the next 1-3 years.

Through workbook prompts, solitary reflection time, and collaborative discussions, you'll identify and/or refine your business's:

  • Mission & Vision

  • Short- & Long- Term Goals

  • Top Problems to Solve/Pain Points

  • Marketing strategy

  • Pontial Investments & Tools

  • Communication Channels

  • Ultimate Potential & so much more

A transformed & reenergized mindset as a leader. 

We center Biz Retreat around a holistic weekend that builds you up both mentally and physically. Through outdoor time, healthy meals, workouts, walks, and down time you'll experience mindset transformations.

Biz Retreat will empower you to see the potential of your business through an inspiring environment of fellow passionate entrepreneurs.

Day 3 is all about expanding your vision of the future as a business owner. You'll drop the "how" and focus solely on thinking as big as possible while being encouraged and excited by everyone else's energy.

The tools to own and execute your authentic brand identity. 

We believe in YOUR unique passion & skillset and we want to help you fully recognize and embrace it.

The work we do throughout the weekend will dig into the ins & outs of your business uncovering your most authentic brand and forming/refining habits & structure within your business.

On the last day, your mini branding photoshoot with Alexandrae Photo will leave you feeling empowered and excited about moving forward.

This year we’re offering two options for bookings. Our beautiful AirBnb has multiple king sized beds, so we wanted to give you the opportunity to share a bed with another attendee for a discounted price- perfect opportunity to come with a friend!

Single & shared spots are both limited.

Pricing for a shared King bed: $1100(Nonrefundable retainer of $300 due to secure your spot)

Pricing for a single bed: $1250 (Nonrefundable retainer of $300 due to secure your spot)

*payment options are available upon request

We’re incredibly excited for this space. Each year we’ve completely UPGRADED our digs to be more and more on brand and beautiful. We believe in the POWER of an aesthetically pleasing environment & we’ve FOUND it. With so many spaces to tuck away and work on strategy (on the balcony, by the fire, in a cozy chair, on that luscious couch), you’re guaranteed to find inspiration and motivation here. We’ve SO many good spots in this year’s AirBnb for your mini branding photoshoots as well!

Allie & I met in college thirteen years ago and became best friends. We were so fortunate to both have had passions we could explore and turn into BUSINESSES ten years later. Today, we’re not only business owners of our individuals businesses, but were business parters as well. Biz Retreat is our PASSION business that stems from seeing what our passions did to radically transform each of our lives. We both went from full-time corporate jobs to full time entrepreneurs with the work we did at our business meetings (that eventually culminated in our very first Biz Retreat in 2021).

Q: How should I plan to get to the retreat?

A:

Biz Retreat will begin on Thursday evening (December 5) but you can arrive any time after 12pm that day, so book a flight that works best for you! You’ll fly into PHX and we’ll share options to get to Sedona and the house. Flights and rides to the house will be your responsibility, everything else will be taken care of once you’re at the house. Checkout will be 10am on Sunday (December 8th), so please make arrangements to be leaving by then.

Q: What food will be provided? What if I have dietary restrictions?

A: 

We will be sending out questionnaires to all attendees that will include space to fill out any food related restrictions. All meals will be provided and home cooked - think plant forward whole foods!


Q: What will the workouts be like? 

A:

Daily morning workouts will be held by Alexandria Jean Fitness. These mobility based, bodyweight workouts will be optional and will be modifiable to any fitness level. They’ll be 20-30 minutes and the intention is to get your body moving to spark creativity and energy for the rest of your day. 


Q: How many attendees will be at Biz Retreat?

A:

We will have 8 attendees max (12 people including your hosts). We intentionally keep Biz Retreat to an intimate group to ensure that everyone is comfortable, everyone is heard, and that there’s enough space in the AirBnb to get your down time.


Q: How is the weekend structured? 

A:

We’ll be sending out a full itinerary to our attendees before the retreat. Every activity is intentional and this includes down time! If you’re concerned about having a planned activity every minute of the day - don’t be! We include plenty of space (and the environment) to step away from your workbook, take a walk, listen to some music, take a nap - whatever YOU need to spark creativity within yourself. We understand that everyone finds creativity in different ways and we leave that space for you to do that!
