How Business Retreats Can Help You Refocus and Recharge Your Home Staging Business

What is a business retreat?

A business retreat is a dedicated time and space for business owners to step away from the day-to-day operations of their business and focus on their own professional (and often personal!) development.

As business owners, we are often so tied to the growth of our businesses that taking a day off means our business has to as well. This is especially true for service-based businesses like staging. In order to build a thriving, growing, and financially sustainable business, we have to be able to step away from it without it collapsing, even for an extended period of time. For example, imagine taking a month-long vacation like a European!

This is why business retreats are so valuable – they provide a dedicated time and space for business owners to step away from the day-to-day operations of their business and focus on their own professional and personal development.

Business retreats are specifically designed to help business owners overcome common growth challenges, such as financial management, finding reliable team members, and creating effective systems. Retreat attendees will learn from industry experts, network with other professionals in their field, and gain new insights and perspectives on their business. By investing in a business retreat, business owners can recharge and refocus on their goals, develop new skills and strategies, and take their businesses to the next level.

If you are feeling stuck in your home staging business, or finding yourself constantly bogged down in tedious day-to-day menial tasks, or putting out fires to deal with difficult clients and team members, and STRUGGLING, then a business retreat may just be the ticket for you to regroup and block out the time needed to strategize your staging business.

Benefits of Attending Business Retreats for Your Home Staging Business

Business retreats are a valuable investment in your home staging business. Here are some of the key benefits of attending:

Learn from Experienced Home Staging Business Owners, Coaches, and Like-Minded Successful Home Staging Business Owners

Business retreats give you the opportunity to learn from experts and experienced business coaches in the home staging industry, as well as connect and share tips and inspirations with other successful home staging business owners. By attending masterclasses and workshops and actively participating in the group discussions at the retreat, you can gain new insights and strategies for growing your business. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and get feedback from your peers and experienced business coaches to create strategies for your company’s growth immediately in a safe and supportive environment.

Finding Support and Mastermind with Other Home Staging Business Owners Who are Going Through Similar Growth Challenges as You Are

Attending retreats is an invaluable and immersive learning experience. In my personal experience, the best part of the retreat is forming a bond and connecting with fellow participants who are going through similar challenges in their businesses. I have made lifelong friends on these retreats, and we are still in touch, exchanging ideas, venting, and giving each other support.

The participants in our Staging Business Retreat last year created their Whatsapp group text, and they still share ideas and support each other often. Even making plans to meet up in person! This is why I want to incorporate retreats into our offering at the school.

Gain New Insights and Perspectives on Your Staging Business

Attending a business retreat can give you a fresh perspective on your home staging business, simply by stepping away and viewing your business from a distance. You are no longer distracted by the day-to-day grind, and you are focused at the retreat to strategize for the future. At this level of your staging business, this is what you should be doing as the owner.

By stepping away from the day-to-day operations, you can reflect on your goals and objectives, and identify areas where you may need to improve or develop new skills. You’ll also learn about new trends and developments in the industry, and gain insights into how other successful businesses are approaching their work.

Develop New Skills and Strategies to Grow Your Business

Finally, attending a business retreat can help you develop new skills and strategies for growing your home staging business. By learning from experts in the field, connecting with other business owners, and gaining new insights and perspectives, you’ll have the tools you need to take your business to the next level. Whether it’s learning new marketing strategies, improving your financial management, or developing more effective systems, a business retreat can provide the guidance and support you need to succeed.

By attending a business retreat for your home staging business, you can gain valuable insights and strategies for growth, build relationships with other business owners, and recharge and refocus on your goals. It’s a valuable investment in your own professional development and the success of your business.

How to Choose the Right Business Retreat

Choosing the right business retreat can be a daunting task, but with a little research and preparation, you can find a retreat that aligns with your goals and helps you achieve your business objectives. Here are some tips for choosing the right business retreat for your home staging business:

Consider Your Business Goals and Areas for Improvement

Before you start researching business retreats, take some time to reflect on your business goals and areas where you need to improve. Are you struggling with financial management? Do you need to develop better marketing strategies? Are you having trouble finding reliable team members? By identifying your business goals and challenges, you can look for retreats that offer solutions and strategies to help you overcome these obstacles.

Last year, we had a great group of participants, with revenues ranging from $150k to $700k. Even at multiple six-figure revenue levels, people still struggled with financial management, system, and team building.

To provide participants with a strong foundation before attending the retreat, this year we’re including access to our June 3-part advanced finance workshop series, which covers cash flow management, budgeting, and tax planning.

Once the finance piece makes sense, then you can make more informed decisions as a business owner, whether it is system building or bringing in new team members. By including the finance workshops this year, we can be more productive during the retreat and dig deep. A week may sound like a lot of time but trust us, it goes by quickly!

Research Retreats That Align With Your Goals

When researching business retreats, it’s important to look for ones that align with your specific business goals and challenges. If you feel overwhelmed with operating your staging business and are not sure what to do, look for retreats that can help you put changes in place by creating a strategic plan. By choosing a retreat that aligns with your specific needs, you’ll be better equipped to achieve your business objectives and take your home staging business to the next level.

Look for Retreats That Offer Actionable Strategies and Insights

When researching business retreats, look for those that offer actionable strategies and insights that you can implement in your business immediately. Avoid retreats that are too general or that focus on topics that are not relevant to your business. Look for retreats that offer workshops, masterclasses, and coaching sessions that are specifically designed to help you achieve your business objectives.

One of the key things I’ve learned from creating curricula and working with stagers in the past few years is that people often fail to implement what they’ve learned in their coursework. That’s why, for our Home Staging Business Mastery Retreat, we emphasize creating a 12-month action plan by the end of the week. You will also need to present your plan to the group to receive feedback. We’ll meet again a month later on Zoom to see how you’re doing with your implementation.

Read Reviews and Testimonials from Previous Attendees

Finally, read reviews and testimonials from previous attendees to get a sense of the quality and value of the retreat. Look for reviews that are specific and detailed, and that address the aspects of the retreat that are important to you. If possible, reach out to previous attendees and ask them about their experience at the retreat.

By following these tips, you can choose the right business retreat for your home staging business, and gain the insights, strategies, and support you need to achieve your business goals and grow your company.
