This week, more than 30 bridal business owners made the decision to step away from their businesses, their teams, their families and their normal routines to work on something incredibly important:
THEMSELVES.
Because if you want different results, at some point you have to be willing to see things differently.
You have to ask better questions.
Listen to people doing things differently than you.
Challenge the way youâve always done it.
Share whatâs working.
Admit whatâs not.
And be willing to change.
THAT is why you invest in coaching.
THAT is why you get yourself in rooms with other people who want to grow.
Not because someone else has all the answers, but because sometimes another personâs question, idea or perspective helps you see something you couldnât see on your own.
And thatâs exactly what happened this week at our BOSS retreat in 30A.
We talked about becoming DIFFERENT, LEANER and SMARTER in our businesses.
We worked on leadership.
We found money hiding inside businesses.
We challenged old ways of doing things.
We shared whatâs actually working.
We talked numbers.
We dreamed bigger.
We sat on the beach and talked business.
We had conversations around a bonfire.
We ate amazing meals.
We shopped.
We laughed A LOT.
And somewhere in all of that, perspectives started changing.
What I loved most was the spirit in the room.
It wasnât about looking sideways at what everyone else was doing.
It was about looking inward and asking:
âHow can I show up better?â
As a leader.
As a business owner.
As a friend.
As a human.
Because when the leader gets healthier and stronger, the ripple effect reaches everything: the team, the customer experience, the culture and ultimately the profitability and sustainability of the business.
You donât have to change everything overnight.
Small improvements compound.
A different conversation.
A better system.
One expense eliminated.
One responsibility delegated.
One leadership habit changed.
One idea implemented really well.
Then another.
A year from now, those small decisions can create a very different businessâand a very different version of you.
This week was proof that growth can be challenging AND joyful.
You can work on your business in the morning and laugh until you cry at dinner.
You can talk numbers and sit barefoot on the beach.
You can challenge yourself and still feel incredibly encouraged.
You can grow and have FUN doing it.
I left this week incredibly grateful for the women who have trusted BOSS enough to get in the room, open their minds, share generously and believe that their businessesâand they themselvesâcan keep getting better.
