YES YOU!
If you’ve been craving uninterrupted time to finally make progress on your writing projects, this retreat was designed with you in mind.

I’m excited to invite you to the Writers Retreat at The Wen—a five‑night creative getaway hosted in a beautifully restored 1900s inn in Peterson, Minnesota. It’s the perfect blend of structure, inspiration, and quiet focus for business owners, authors, and anyone with writing goals.

Here’s what makes this retreat special:
- Daily closed‑door writing sessions to help you make real progress
- Optional excursions for inspiration, including local cultural sites and the farmers market
- Relaxing activities like art journaling, coffee‑house writing, and evening gatherings
-A peaceful small‑town setting ideal for deep focus
- Discounted lodging and a supportive community of fellow writers

This retreat is ideal for anyone wanting to complete or make progress on:
- Business writing (websites, newsletters, blogs, lead magnets, client materials)
- Books and manuscripts
- Memoirs and personal stories
- Course content or program materials
- Journaling or creative writing projects
- Strategic planning or content calendars

Once you register, you’ll receive a special discount code for 55% off your stay at the Inn. If you’re ready for a dedicated space to think, write, and create—without distractions—I’d love to have you join us.

Money Mistakes That Keep Your Business Broke
Penny Pinching
Overspending hurts… but underspending can hurt just as much. If you’re patching together free tools and working 16-hour days because you “can’t afford” help, you’re not saving money — you’re building burnout.
Quick Fix:
Invest strategically. Quality tools and smart outsourcing don’t just cost money — they free up time, boost results, and pay for themselves.
Question for you: What’s one investment that’s made your business so much smoother?

Money Mistakes That Keep Your Business Broke
The Sunk Costs Trap
“I can’t cancel that subscription! I locked in at the launch price!” Sound familiar? That’s the sunk cost fallacy — convincing yourself to keep paying for something just because you’ve already invested in it.
But let’s be real: if you’re not using it, it’s not a deal.
Quick Fix:
Take 10 minutes to scan your recurring expenses.
• If it helps you, double down and use it.
• If not, cancel it today.
Question for you: What’s one tool or subscription you realized you didn’t actually need?

Money Mistakes That Keep Your Business Broke
Shiny Object Syndrome
Ever been tempted by the latest tool, course, or “must-have” program because everyone else is doing it? That’s shiny object syndrome, and it can quietly drain your bank account while pulling you away from your real goals.
Quick Fix:
• For irresistible offers: Ask, Will this pay for itself? If you can’t see a clear ROI, skip it.
• For new ideas: Create a “Someday List.” Capture it now, return to it later.
Question for you: What’s the last shiny object you almost bought (or maybe did buy )?
