Sunday, December 12th from 9 AM - 5 PM
You Belong Here, 3619 El Cajon Blvd, San Diego, CA 92104
As creatives and entrepreneurs, we are often faced with the many challenges of running a business or maintaining sustainability. If you’re going at it solo, I’m sure you can relate to the loneliness of not having someone to brainstorm with or share with during your highs and lows. If you are in the startup phase, growth can sometimes feel intimidating because you don’t always have the tools and resources on hand to make shit happen. Sometimes we simply get stuck in the yuck and funk of growing our businesses. Sometimes we just can’t see the path forward.
Please know that you are not alone. We have all been there and are there, and it’s a natural place to be in your business journey. But a few tools and support systems along the way can be the difference between a thriving business and a surviving business.
You Belong Here would like to invite you to regain a sense of clarity and path forward, reduce the stress and anxiety that comes with managing a business, and lay strong foundations to grow and scale your business.
Introducing:
The Huddle Retreat
Sunday, December 12 @9am - 5pm
An eight hour guided and focused retreat featuring local experts, creators, and businesses. Sixteen participants are invited to join us on this retreat to set mindful intentions and create a work-life balance that supports a healthy business strategy as we make our way into 2022.
We’ll walk you through a business roadmap that works for you and your lifestyle while setting up your business for success. You’ll learn the foundational steps of reengaging with your customers and launching a new and/or existing service or product. Lastly, we’ll help you organize and track the metrics of your business and lifestyle goals into project management software. Pause. Reflect. Reset. Huddle.
