Vermont 1-1Retreat

Where we Intentionally Mix business & Pleasure

For those who are sick of zoom

Working virtually is great. I do it all the time and thank goodness for it because it allows me to work from anywhere.

But aren’t we getting just a little bit sick of being online all the time?

There’s nothing quite like sitting side-by-side with a real person in a lovely place to get stuff done.

When you remove yourself from your regular working environment, go somewhere new with a structured plan + lovely breaks built in, it’s AMAZING what you can accomplish.

I’m talking about the Vermont 1-1 Business Immersion where we work and play HARD.

Imagine focused time to work on things that you know will move the needle forward, followed by a walk in the woods, or cold plunge in a clear river, or a picnic in the apple orchard.

Pack your bags.
Meet me in Vermont.

You’ve heard the phrase, don’t mix business with pleasure.

I happen to disagree.

I love that mix.

Enough of the Cookie Cutter

As a multi-passionate business owner, you have a lot on your plate and your challenges are diverse. You don’t need someone’s one-size-fits-all success formula. In my experience, these never work.

Courses and group programs can be great for getting a base knowledge, but you also have to sit through a lot of BS that doesn’t pertain to your specific goals. Who has time for that?

You don’t need another course sitting sadly on your laptop or to be swallowed up in a big group program where you are just one of many.

With the 1-1 Vermont Retreat you will get custom business support based on your unique business model and goals.

You are going to get clear on what will move the needle forward.

Then you’re going to take action with focus and support.

I’ve seen coaches offer VIP days for 10-20k for one day and then it’s over. It’s all work and no play. I can only imagine you leave there thoroughly exhausted.

We’re not playing that game.

I’m creating an experience that I would love as a client, where you get super efficient with your business priorities, create a plan, and actually work on that plan (but not 24-7!).

It’s a feminine approach, where you get to decompress in between these bursts of productivity, with time to relax, rejuvenate and refill your tank.

What better place to do it than in these Green Mountains of beautiful Vermont!

Imagine this…

Instead of wondering where you should focus your time, you know exactly what to do to move the needle forward in your business.

Instead of squeezing in time around everything else, you have carved out time and space to deeply reflect on the whispers that have been begging you to listen.

Instead of going this alone, you’ve got the support of a trusted mentor, by your side guiding and cheering you on.

Instead of feeling depleted, distracted, unsure, and exhausted, you feel excited, focused, confident and energized.

 

I reached my income goals

As a multi-passionate creative entrepreneur, I’m grateful to have made my living as a creative for the past 23 years. But I always felt like I was being pulled to do whatever opportunity there was in front of me, or just trying things that seemed interesting vs trying to determine exactly where MY happy place was.

Desha has an amazing way of helping you focus on the things that really allow you to live the life you want to live. I feel more empowered and in control. I go through an entirely different process when I am deciding if something is a good direction for me.

With her help I was able to reach my monthly income goal I set with her in the 6 months that we worked together! She’s always staying on top of the trends and things that I hate having to research but know are super important. Having a resource like her that truly understands the way my mind works is so important to my sanity and my business.

Just hire her, you won’t regret it!

Tangible results include…

Tangible results of working with Desha include: Increased knowledge and capabilities around launching, email marketing and offer creation. It's easier to take action because I know what to do, how to do it, and why.

It's also easier to plan & integrate biz & life, like planning launches etc. I loved meeting in person, and having support between sessions. Desha's notes also provided a great action plan / to-do list that helped me stay on track and be accountable to deadlines.

My income increased by 43%

Desha not only provided practical & exciting options, but she is a master marketer and knows how to create the audience you need for what you’re selling.

My yearly income grew 43% by Desha's guidance & strategy planning. Now I’m getting ready to launch my second digital product which has the potential to double my income next year, all thanks to Desha!

My experience with her has been amazing and just proves that even if you are feeling great about where you are with your business, there’s still room to learn & grow!

Exact Missing Piece

Having Desha in my corner for the last 6+ months has been such a confidence-booster!

Her marketing expertise was the exact piece missing in my biz and she helped me gain the momentum I needed to push things forward, without the hustle.

Running your own biz can feel so isolating at times, so working with Desha has been a dream. She'll be your biggest cheerleader and your greatest support.

I’m getting stuff done!

Since working with Desha I have more focus.

I'm realizing writing goals.

I'm getting stuff done!

I leave our sessions feeling like it's possible to have a big dream and make it real! Working with Desha is fun and practical, with room for some emotional processing AND a clear focus on setting up systems/accountability structures.

We cut through any baloney thinking or distraction immediately. I'd highly recommend her!

Welcome to the Forest Street Retreat!

I have one foot in the coaching world and one foot in the real estate world, so I’m thrilled to put these two passions together for you!

She was in my corner, educating & cheering me on…

It’s been wonderful having an advocate to help with my jumble of ideas! Working with Desha was great because I always had a plan of action after every meeting, but also, she was in my corner educating and cheering me on. Now that our sessions have ended, I have a plan for the next 3 months with goals to work toward, so I know where my business is headed. Overall, I'm feeling more confident and legitimate in my business.

I’ve Done More Than I Thought I’d Ever Do

I had a dream for twenty years and had no idea what practical steps to take. Desha helped me with mindset (setting intentions, overcoming limitations, and moving forward regardless of the circumstances).

The result is I’m taking consistent action. In just one year, I’ve built a website. I’ve built an email list. I’ve been interviewed on podcasts. I’ve had international art shows and gotten into residencies.

I’ve done more than I ever thought I could do and working with you, Desha, has helped me do it.

Desha is My Secret Weapon

Could I have done this without you? Maybe. But I doubt it. Working with you has helped me stay on track, meet my goals and really understand that what I want to create is possible.

Now that I’ve worked with you, I don’t want to be without you.

From Part-Time to Full Time Artist

Before working with Desha my biggest challenge was not knowing where to even begin. Being a finance/business person myself, I was aware of the many facets to running a business full-time. I didn't want to be status quo and fumble my way through my transition. That's why I hired Desha as my biz coach. Desha helped me get organized and run my business with a mix of strategy + intention.
