I had this idea to gather friends who also work for themselves, and do our own version of a work retreat.
It can get lonely working by yourself and I wanted to go somewhere surrounded by nature, where we could relax and explore while bouncing ideas off of each other, collaborating and just have space to get creative.
My friend found the perfect little cottage in a town called Gex, near Lake Geneva. It looked straight out of a Nancy Meyers movie, and absolutely the perfect place for us. Just what I had dreamt about.
We cooked, sat by the fire pit almost every night, told stories and genuinely just took a breather from daily life. It was so amazing and an absolute gift to be surrounded by friends on the same path as me - building our careers and lives in a way that values balance and creativity, curiosity and collaboration.
Striking out on your own can be scary, but the friendships you form and grow along the way are priceless. There’s a special kind of camaraderie amongst small business owners and solopreneurs that I’ve been so happy to discover. Everyone is figuring it out as they go, always in search of growth and fulfillment. It’s really inspiring, and I’ve found that if you’re open to connecting, it won’t be long before you find your tribe.
If you’re an entrepreneur and looking to connect, feel free to send me a DM! ❤️
And if you’re looking for a place to reset with your group of friends, I can’t recommend this beautiful cottage enough. Comment “retreat” and I’m happy to share the link!
