The Power of In-Person: How the Scale to Success Retreat Transformed 5 Businesses

The latest cohort of the Scale to Success Mastermind and the in-person retreat just wrapped, and whew, what a powerful three months it’s been! This round brought together five incredible women with five unique businesses. Over the course of the program, we dove deep into the foundations of their brands: refining pricing strategies, tightening up systems and workflows, reworking onboarding experiences, and creating a smooth, elevated client journey that sets the tone for long-term growth and real profitability.

But the magic didn’t stop there.

We closed out the experience with something extra special…an in-person retreat that took all of our hard work and leveled it up in the most powerful way possible. Because let’s be honest: there’s nothing like in-person, get-shit-done time.

The Power of In-Person Implementation

While Zoom calls and Voxer threads can hold us down during the mastermind, the retreat is where everything clicks into place. It’s where implementation happens. No distractions, no multitasking, just pure focus.

This retreat was all about:

  • Roadmapping the future: Instead of wondering “What should I be doing next?”, our attendees left with clear, confident action plans.
  • Getting out of limbo: We cut through the confusion and second-guessing. No more wondering if you’re doing the right thing or if it’s going to make you money. The clarity was real.
  • Working on the business, not in it: When you remove yourself from the day-to-day grind, you start to see your business in a whole new light. That’s the gift of retreat space, no kids, no clients, no chaos. Just vision and strategy.

The January Retreat is Coming…

This past retreat was such a game changer that we’re doing things a little different next year! We’ll be introducing retreats outside of the mastermind and we’ll be kicking it off in January 2026. This retreat will be the ultimate reset to kick off the year with purpose, intention, and a solid business game plan.

Special Thanks to Our Sponsor: Flodesk

As an educator and mentor, I rely on partnerships that genuinely support my students, and this retreat wouldn’t have been the same without one of our incredible sponsors: Flodesk.

Flodesk, a powerful yet user-friendly email marketing platform, generously sponsored one of our retreat lunches. But even more exciting? Every single student walked away fired up about using email marketing as part of their business growth strategy. Now they’re building funnels, sending out welcome sequences, and showing up for their audiences in a consistent, aligned way, all thanks to the ease and beauty of Flodesk.

Flodesk has cut the time it takes me to create and send emails in half, allowing me to refocus my attention on other areas of my business. I love that I can quickly hop in and design something beautiful with no code or complications. In a world where many marketing tools feel cumbersome, Flodesk feels simple and fun.

If you’ve been sleeping on email marketing, let this be your wake-up call. Your email list is your business’s most valuable asset…don’t let it go untouched. Give it a try for free here!
