"I’m glad I attended Retreat this year. It is the best decision I could have made for my business at this time. I thought I might skip it because I have been inundated with new business. (I’m thankful for this problem!) Luckily, I decided to attend. Not only did it help me with specific questions I had about software etc. but also big picture ideas about the direction I want to grow my business."
Catherine Hawley on the 2015 Retreat
