One of the things I love most about what I do is getting to help businesses grow through community connection — and this one feels extra special.

Over the past year, I’ve watched Dave and Brenda truly embrace Dunnville, support local events (Business Awards, Kid's Fishing Derby, Business After 5's and more!), meet people everywhere they go, and genuinely become part of the community. Now they’re officially bringing Hartzel Marine’s next chapter here, and I couldn’t be happier for them.

If you know them, have worked with them, met them through events, or simply want to support a local business making an investment in our community, I hope you’ll stop by their Official Open House on May 30th from 1PM–4PM.

Live music, food truck, prizes, great people, and a chance to celebrate a new beginning right here in Dunnville. ❤️

Congratulations Dave & Brenda — excited for this next chapter for you both!

Nine days from now, we "officially" open the doors to our new chapter — and we would truly love to celebrate it with you.

Over the past few years, Dunnville has become more than just the place we live… it has become home. The kindness, support, and welcoming spirit we’ve experienced here made us realize this was where we wanted to build the next chapter of Hartzel Marine.

Many of you have stopped in, waved hello, shared stories, supported the business, or simply made us feel part of this incredible community already. It means more than you know.

So, on Saturday, May 30th from 1PM–4PM, we’d love to invite you to our Official Open House. Come by for some great food, live music by Roze Raven, prizes, conversation, and a chance to celebrate this exciting new beginning with us.

Whether you’re a longtime client, a new friend, a fellow business owner, or simply curious to stop in and say hello — you are welcome here.

We hope to see you there.

— Dave & Brenda

What if you actually gave yourself the time to build the business plan you keep saying you need?

Not another notebook full of ideas.
Not another year of “winging it.”
Not another season of posting random content and hoping it works.

The Wake Up & Be Intentional™ Marketing Retreat at Sea was created for business owners who are ready for clarity, structure, direction, and momentum.

This is a working retreat — not a vacation. (Although there will be moments of rest and play!)

For 7 nights aboard the beautiful Norwegian Breakaway, we will step away from the daily distractions and work together to build a clear, intentional 12-month marketing plan for your business.

You’ll leave with:
• A full year of marketing direction
• A stronger understanding of your brand and messaging
• Content and campaign ideas
• A clearer customer journey
• More confidence in your visibility strategy
• A plan that actually supports your revenue goals

Because when you stop reacting and start leading your marketing intentionally… everything changes.

November 29 – December 6, 2026
Ports include:
Cozumel
Roatán
Harvest Caye
Costa Maya

This retreat is for the business owner who knows they are capable of more — but needs uninterrupted space to finally organize the vision.

This isn’t a vacation.

It’s the week you finally get your marketing figured out.

Most business owners aren’t struggling because they’re not working hard—they’re struggling because their marketing has no structure.

They’re guessing. Reacting. Piecing things together.

And it keeps them stuck.

Wake Up & Be Intentional™: Marketing Retreat at Sea is a 7-day working retreat where you’ll build your full 12-month marketing plan—before 2027 even begins.

Working alongside Angela Brooks, you’ll leave with:
• A clear strategy for the year ahead
• A plan you actually understand and can follow
• Direction on what to focus on (and what to stop doing)

No more scrambling. No more second guessing.

Just a plan that works—and the confidence to execute it.

This is for business owners who are ready to stop guessing and start leading their marketing.

Spots are limited. Nov 29th -Dec 6th, 2026
(Note: New Orleans Nov 28th, 4pm the retreat begins!)

This is not just a retreat. And it’s definitely not just a cruise.

This is where your 2027 marketing plan gets built.

For 7 days, you step away from the noise, the interruptions, and the “I’ll figure it out later”… and actually create a clear, intentional, profit-driven strategy for your business.

No more guessing what to post.
No more wondering what’s working.
No more piecing things together month by month.

You’ll leave with a full 12-month marketing plan—built with purpose, aligned with your goals, and designed to generate real results.

And you won’t be doing it alone.
You’ll be surrounded by other business owners who are ready to think bigger, go deeper, and actually get it done.

Many who attend… come back every year. Because this process works.

If your marketing feels scattered—or you’re ready to take it to the next level—this is where that shift happens.

Wake Up & Be Intentional™: Marketing Retreat at Sea is now open.

Message me for details or to reserve your spot.

How many times have you had a great conversation about your business…
and then it just… ended there?

No follow-up. No next step. No client.

It happens more than we like to admit—and it’s usually not because people weren’t interested.

This week at the Haldimand Marketing Mastermind, we’re talking about the simple follow-up systems most businesses skip…
and how small shifts can turn conversations into actual clients.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re “almost there” but not quite converting… this one’s for you.

Join us today at Debb’s Cuisine on Queen
12:00 – 2:30 PM

Come for lunch, leave with ideas you can actually use. See you there.
