Podcast: Why you need a solo business retreat

By Stephanie Ward

Have you ever dreamed about going away on a retreat to work ON your business? I wanted that too but couldn’t find what I was looking for so I designed my own solo business retreat. In this podcast episode, I’ll cover:

  • How I came up with the idea for a solo business retreat (massive thanks to Anne Scott of Girl Gone International for sparking the idea)
  • Why three days away from home are needed
  • The reasons for it being a solo retreat
  • The three areas of my business I focused on
  • Where I went and the outcomes for my own business
