Okay. We're back from "The Edge" retreat for entrepreneurs which we hosted in sunny Cairns in Queensland, Australia 🇦🇺. 

Earlier this year, we surveyed our network of business owners and it was evident that people were yearning for immersive networking and learning while enjoying a 'work-holiday' somewhere else.

We made it happen and took a calculated risk with a new event that brought fresh content as a conversation starter centred around a bold topic such as exponential growth.

"What will it take for your business to grow exponentially in the months and years ahead?"

"Who do you have to become as a leader?"

Questions like these kept us busy...

Instead of the retreat being set up as a seminar or conference, we learned that people value peer-to-peer learning and a safe environment with robust debates in which fellow entrepreneurs challenge each other and bounce ideas of each other.

So my role became that of facilitator and fellow participant. (thank you, guys!)

I have to confes...

We're going to sunny Cairns (Queensland) near the Great Barrier Reef in July 2022.

The Edge is a 4-day exclusive retreat for 14 entrepreneurs only.

We rolled into 2022 and the question now is: what are you going to do differently this year?

This can be the year in which you absolutely crush it.

The year in which you open your heart, expand your mind, clarify your vision, break through personal limitations and succeed greatly.

Abundance is what I want for you in all areas of life. 

Having reflected on 2021, I'd like to share my 12 learning lessons with you as they might serve you too:

As I announced last week, I have been busy making something truly unique for you and I am unveiling it today.

Having been a business owner for 11 years now, I asked myself who I easily relate to and feel most affinity with.

The answer is other business owners who offer services.

To me, it means that you have a calling, a passion to help clients in your particular field of expertise, and you live it.

You also embrace the challenges that come with business ownership and employ people. 

I love that! We are leaders and want to make a difference in the world.

It lead me to create a purpose-built Facebook group in which like-minded people can connect, share, learn, achieve personal and business growth, and help each other.

And this is only the beginning. As of next week, we'll be posting regularly on topics relevant for services-based business owners. 

And you can do so too by becoming part of it.

Join us! It's free. Be my guest :)

In addition, I am very excited to announce the upc...

For many years, I used to be driven to perform.

I worked long hours to reach the top of my field.

I ran marathons and ultramarathons, competitively. 

I was hungry to achieve.

And then, something happened. I lost my way. I didn't care as much any more. I let go of my goals and aspirations. Everything suffered.

It is only recently that I dusted myself off and clarified a new pathway to move forward again.

Do you know the feeling, Amanda?

Knowing where I have been and where I want to go are two different goal posts. 

We can measure them. And what we measure, we can change radically. 

Being crystal clear matters. 

But I also learned that our mind can be confused, blurry and unfocused. Our actions then are uncoordinated. They lack impact and strength. 

Now, more than ever, do I value clarity of mind, a burning passion and focused effort. 

Our energy and drive depend on them. Whenever we catch ourselves on "being low on energy", it just means that we have slipped off track. 

Suc...
