WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I HOPE YOU’LL SAY WHEN I INVITE YOU TO THE
– A sanctuary and escape for yourself and your business, where you’ll walk away with the tools, systems and strategies you need to scale your business, save time, and make more money...ALL while refocusing your priorities, refueling the passion for your business, and recentering on self care (we’re talking sunrise yoga overlooking the private pond, incredible food, fireside revelations, and wine, cheese and s’mores with your new friends).
—A retreat that doesn’t just help you redefine and pursue success...but one that teaches you how to run a thriving business WITHOUT working around the clock.
—A 4 day breath of fresh air that inspires + fuels your future life of freedom.
—A community of women who GET you, GET the entrepreneur struggle, and also GET serious about their s’mores technique.
IMAGINE:
We’re taking everything I’ve learned about workflow, systems, organization, productivity, goal setting, branding and client experience and intentionally infusing it into a 4 day retreat designed specifically for creative women who long for that unicorn of more balance and more profit (at the same dang time).
Because I think it’s a straight up MYTH that the only way to grow your business is to work yourself to the bone every day. I also think it’s silly that business conferences, workshops, and retreats are far too often such draining, overwhelming experiences that leave you with a lot of ideas, but not a lot of follow-through. It’s time to experience some epiphanies paired with a heavy dose of action. At The Fireside Retreat you’ll have specific time to start infusing these new habits into your life, business, workflow, and schedule—because around here we’re into purposeful momentum.
SO, if you’re tired of everyone preaching about the hustle, and you’re straight up DONE with jumping from one goal to the next without ever feeling content or fulfilled, and you’re ready to figure out what YOUR personal ideal lifestyle is (so you stop chasing shadows and start stepping into your purpose) ….then I am so excited to invite you to join me and 12 other creative women for a wildly transformational weekend.
Because hustling is silly if it’s not smart.
Because you’re too gifted to waste so much time on busy work.
Because when you learn how to be more efficient, simplify your systems, and work smarter, you’ll make more money because of your elevated client experience while having more time for your family and friends, more time for yourself, and more time for whatever else sets your soul on fire.
Because maybe the most meaningful change happens in the great outdoors around a fire with like-minded, inspirational women and a glass (or 3) of wine in hand.

At the end of the day, I do this work and created this retreat because I believe that your crazy dreams shouldn’t just be chased, they should be achieved. And while everyone has their own definition of success, everyone deserves to feel content and fulfilled and as though they are working—and living—with intention.
Results like: saving over 20 hours a week, taking days off (or heck, a month off!), delivering such incredible client experiences that your referrals go through the roof, finally paying yourself what you’re worth and being truly profitable, making a living AND having a life, and most importantly being armed with a clear roadmap of how to achieve these big bad goals (instead of staring at them longingly on your vision board).
I’m Laura Neff, by the way, and confession time: in 2015, I was on the hot mess express and I felt like a combination of a chicken running around with her head cut off, a hamster running on a wheel going nowhere fast, and Tom Hanks in Castaway, treading water just PRAYING for a life raft. I had put EVERYTHING into my business. My time, my money, my tears [lots of those—let’s be real]. I kept seeing everyone else doing these great things in their business: go on these awesome vacations and sabbaticals, work with seriously beautiful clients and venues, and seemingly find time to hang out with their friends and their spouse regularly. And then here I was, hard pressed to find five minutes to sort my mail or reheat my 3-day leftover Chinese food.
And despite ALL THAT WORK, I STILL felt like my bank account did not even come close to reflecting the amount of money that SHOULD have been there considering the hours that went in. [Hello, next to zero profit for working upwards of 80 hours a week.]
After a morning at my dining room table crying my eyes out, I knew it was time I dedicate myself to working smarter.. I needed sustainable systems and workflows in place so I could do work faster, and scale my business. I needed to make more money for my time (so I could not be the business owner working for less than minimum wage), and I had to work WAY LESS if I wanted to save the relationships that were important to me.
So I dug in the dirt. I made the systems. I created the workflows. I figured out where my time and money was going so I could redirect it to where I wanted to go. And I actually started to see my bottom line reflect a healthy number that I felt was equivalent to the time and energy put into my business.
I’ve found balance, fulfillment and abundance with my business and my life.
