Sit back. Put your feet up. Go on… go for it. Grab a glass of wine. Take a breath. And again. Inhale deeply, exhale deeply… let all your stress go. Live in the clarity of the moment.
About the Mom Biz Retreat

Mom Biz Retreat
September 17-18
The MillCroft Inn Vintage Hotel
Caledon, Ontario
If you are a work at home mom, thinking about starting your own business, or an established mom business owner, this is the weekend for you. Here’s Lara talking about the Mom Biz Retreat:
When you leave on Sunday, here’s what you will have in your business toolbox:
- A Time Map to provide clarity of when you are actually available to work.
- A clear picture of the viabilty of your business and a better understanding of what we can modify to make it more sustainable
- A rockin’ elevator pitch that gives you the confidence to market yourself and qualify your clients
- An EASE Mindset designed to help you do only the work you love with clients you love to serve
- A well-designed business model that helps you leverage your expertise and keep your customers coming back for more
- Your engagement marketing strategy so you know where to find your target audience and how to build relationships with them
- Specific systems and support structures to allow you to grow and prosper
- A one page business plan for next 12 months
- A weekend away to work ON your business, not IN it
But wait… that’s not all…
- An accountability network of like-minded mompreneurs who truly GET YOU, understand what’s important to you, and who are willing to help you get there
- Two breakfasts, two lunches, coffee breaks and one five-course dinner complete with wine tasting that you don’t have to cook (or clean up after!)
- Uninterrupted sleep, no laundry, no kids (did we mention no kids?), no husbands, yoga pants, walks along lovely nature trails in the picturesque Village of Alton, Ontario, access to all manner of spa services and yoga classes to help you get the relaxation you crave and deserve, two swimming pools on the vintage hotel property to relax and swim in.
- The chance to hang out with a group of like-minded women who will probably say “Me, too!” more times than you can count over the weekend!
It’s time to stop thinking about branding, business planning, time management, work/family balance strategies, social media marketing plans, how to create systems and structures to support you, what to delegate, how to manage your business, and where to find more clients…and time to Get It DONE!

But wait, Lara and Shelagh…“That’s more expensive than a conference.” Yes, we know. Why? Simple.
This is not a conference.
This is not a sit, listen and learn event. This is a listen, learn and DO event. You are going to be working ON your business in a supportive and nurturing environment. The weekend is designed to have you walk away with awesome tools for your business toolkit–plans, guides, checklists, action items, next steps… We’ll be doing the work of business owners, the stuff it takes to build a successful business, but that we always push aside while we’re busy doing work to make money.
You’re likely asking yourself if you can afford this weekend away… you should be asking yourself if you can afford not to attend. If you don’t take the time out to work on and develop the vision and future for your business… how much will it cost you in the long run?
What is it costing you to continue operating the way you are, without the vision, the plans, the strategy and the resources to create the successful business you want? How much longer do you want to keep doing the “feast or famine” cycle, since you’re not sure where your next client is going to come from?
We have packed so much business coaching and training into this weekend because we know you need to accomplish as much as possible in the short time you can afford to be away from your family. Lara’s private coaching clients pay $300/hr. to learn these tools over the weeks and months we work together. The value of this information is easily between $2,000-$3,000, but we want to make this an affordable opportunity that you won’t pass up.
Regular rate (until August 31): $495
Bring-a-Friend rate (until September 10th or until we’re sold out): $450
(Bring-a-Friend rate only available when you and a friend sign up together and both names are listed in the registration field on the EventBrite sign-up page.)
Last minute rate (after August 31): $550
Think of how powerful you’ll feel when you are clear on your brand, your business model, your business plan and your marketing strategy! And how happy you’ll be when you create a schedule that allows you to get work done without feeling guilty about stealing time from your family!
We only have room for 25 women, since we want an intimate, focused, and action-taking group! Register now so you can reserve your spot!
Shelagh and I will be indulging ourselves and staying Friday and Saturday nights at the Millcroft Inn. The place is divine! Read all about their rooms, amenities, and spa services here
We have secured a special Mom Biz Retreat participant room rate of $195/night (+ taxes) for either single or double occupancy. Just mention our group name: Mom Biz Retreat, and make sure you book by August 15 to guarantee that rate!
Why not book your massage, facial or pedicure to round out the Retreat? Work hard, then reward yourself for your effort!
What’s Included:
The Retreat includes two full days of workshops on Saturday and Sunday, two breakfasts, two lunches, snacks, and one five-course meal with wine tasting menu. It also includes the morning nature walk and the evening “Mastermind in Your Yoga Pants” session, plus all your workbooks, checklists, plans, templates, models, how-to guides, fill-in-the-blank exercises and other resources we provide to help you get things done. We are providing tons of hands-on, do-it-now tools that are critical to your mompreneur success. It’s like six months of business coaching in two days!
You’ll be amazed at what you’re capable of accomplishing in one weekend. Bet it’s more than you would normally get done in a year! And then you’ll have the chance to socialize, relax, and indulge in all the treats a world-class spa can offer with a group of women you’re gonna love! What’s not to love?
