Back from a 7-Figure Business Retreat - Mentor Memo #3
Five days of honest conversations and realizations that hit harder than any business book.
The thing about being around people who've also built - you don't need to explain why, because they already get it.
Random things that surprised me:
- None of us had our phones out; we are present in conversations.
- None of us drink alcohol, and we all care about getting enough sleep.
- We use social media for work, not for distraction or entertainment.
- We're obsessed with being our best version and spending our time productively.
- We don't know best, we ask for advice, we want feedback, and we like learning new things.
- We make our beds 🤣 This turned into a viral post: https://www.instagram.com/p/DOrbVyjjYT_/
Most of us were crushing financially, but failing somewhere else.
The social wealth exercise was good - mapping who you talk to weekly and realizing you're spending too much time with the wrong people and not enough with your actual supporters.
Next, the productivity session made me rethink my own role:
We went deep on job descriptions - not just for teams, but for yourself. What's your actual role? What does success look like? Most of us couldn't answer clearly.
But here's what really got me thinking:
Being in a room with people who've built real success - reminded me why I'm rebuilding everything around constraints.
These founders weren't bragging about team size or office space. (Honestly, they didn't brag it all, haha, they are so humble.) But they were talking about profit margins, time freedom, and which parts of their businesses they actually enjoyed.
We're all trying to figure out the same thing - how to build something significant without losing ourselves in the process?
How to scale without sacrifice? How to serve people without becoming a slave to the business?
My goal is to do more of this. I have enjoyed this and laughed so much.
Finding "your people: isn't just nice-to-have: It's essential. When you're surrounded by others asking better questions, you start asking better questions too.
Grateful for the reminder that business is ultimately about relationships 🤝
Back to work, and I'm more convinced than ever that this HERE is the path forward.
