Hey there, retreat leaders (and aspiring ones)! It’s Shannon, your cheerleader and fellow retreat-obsessed entrepreneur. As we’re gearing up for another year, I want to have a heart-to-heart about why 2025 is YOUR year. Yep, you heard me right. This is the year for growth, expansion, and taking those bold leaps that you’ve been dreaming about.

But before you start overthinking the how (we all do it), let’s take a moment to reframe what “growth” means. Whether you win big or stumble along the way, every step forward gives you something invaluable. Wins build your confidence. Losses? They gift you wisdom. And here’s the beauty of it—nothing is wasted.

Confidence from Wins

Let’s start with the wins, because let’s be real—there’s nothing quite like the energy boost of a victory. When you sell out your retreat, connect deeply with your guests, or even finally hit “publish” on that email list, you’re showing yourself what’s possible.

Every win is proof that you’re capable, that your vision resonates, and that people out there are ready to invest in what you have to offer. Wins are your confidence boosters, propelling you forward and reminding you why you started this journey in the first place.

But here’s the thing: wins don’t happen without action. If you’re waiting for the perfect moment, guess what? It doesn’t exist. Your first step might feel wobbly, and that’s okay! Confidence comes from doing, not waiting.

Wisdom from Losses

Now, let’s chat about the “losses.” You know, those moments when things don’t go according to plan. Maybe your marketing didn’t land, a retreat didn’t sell as well as you hoped, or logistics went haywire.

I’ve been there. And let me tell you, those moments—while tough—are where the real magic happens. Because every misstep teaches you something. You learn what not to do, how to adapt, and what really matters to your guests. These lessons are gold. They shape you into a smarter, savvier leader.

So, when a plan doesn’t pan out, remind yourself: it’s not failure; it’s feedback. Use it, grow from it, and keep moving forward.

Nothing is Wasted

Every email you send, every post you write, every call you make—it all matters. Even if the results aren’t immediate, you’re planting seeds for future growth. Nothing is wasted in this journey.

Each experience, good or bad, adds to your toolkit. And when you approach your business with this mindset, you start to see the bigger picture. Every effort compounds over time, leading you to the success you’ve been working toward.
