I just got back from a total immersion weekend retreat in Palm Springs with my Integrator Chloe and in today\u2019s episode I share all the details of what went down! Unlike a typical team retreat we weren\u2019t brainstorming ideas, we were actually cleaning up the messy stuff in our business.\nYep, I\u2019ve got messes to clean up just like anyone else. I must say, I do believe my team and I are a gold standard when it comes to setting up systems and processes, but I think no matter how well the backend of your online business looks every single one of us has room to do a little cleaning, don\u2019t you think?\nFIVE QUESTIONS YOU SHOULD ASK YOURSELF BEFORE YOUR TOTAL IMMERSION WEEKEND RETREAT\nAnswering the following five key questions will help you to set a focus and make sure you\u2019re on the same page (if you will be with someone from your team):\n\nWhat\u2019s your #1 pain point in your business right now?\n\nWhat feels messy, broken, or painfully slow?\n\nWhat needs to be fixed before you can grow?\n\nWhere are you losing money? Do you have any current leaks in your funnels, or in any system that you\u2019re using to make money right now?\n\nWhat have you been putting off for way too long? What are the important things you\u2019ve been wanting to get to but you know there are just not enough hours in the day?\n\nMY TOP TOTAL IMMERSION WEEKEND TIPS\n\nChoose a destination you enjoy and that inspires you. It doesn\u2019t have to be fancy or expensive, but if you\u2019re at a place in your business where you can splurge a little, go for it!\n\nJust know that your days are going to be long. We worked hard, but it was so worth it!\n\nChange up your environment so you don\u2019t go stir crazy. We found fun little places around the hotel property to work throughout the weekend: the beautiful lobby, our hotel room, and we even knocked out a couple of hours of work from the bar while sipping on a refreshing margarita!\n\nTake time to eat, drink lots of water, get some fresh air, take walks, and get 7-8 hours of sleep each night.\n\nLet your family know that this time away will be focused on work and that you will not be available much throughout the weekend. It\u2019s very important to limit distractions in order to make the most of your time away, and by stating this up front you will make sure no one at home is feeling neglected!\n\nKeep a Google Doc noting the big decisions that you\u2019ve made over the weekend and any team communication you want to relay when you return.\n\nGet all those action items moved into your project management tool. Chloe always says, \u201cIf it\u2019s not in Asana, it\u2019s not happening!\u201d\n\nDon\u2019t forget to have a little fun, too! You\u2019re going to be working really hard, so I suggest you treat yourself to a massage or some sort of simple pleasure at the end of your weekend.\n\nUpon your return, have a meeting with your team or individual team members to fill them in on some of the decisions you made or changes that may be coming down the pipeline.\n\nRepeat your total immersion retreat weekend on a quarterly basis!\n\n\nThis episode is brought to you by Audible where you too can listen to the book I mentioned that I\u2019m loving right now: High Performance Habits by Brendon Burchard, for FREE!
