“I arrived at the August Noosa Retreat, feeling frazzled, under pressure and unsure of my next business move.  Overwhelm was real.  I was instantly embraced, physically and emotionally, to this group of amazing women.  Everyone willing to share.  Best of all, we had stories of disaster, failure, success, and joy to share. Small business really is a rollercoaster. And knowing that every business owner was going through similar things was such a relief and an inspiration. Dee and Nat showed a genuine interest and care for every single person, and were so willing to give their time, advice or make a cup of tea – whatever was needed. I picked up “nuggets of gold” from every single person at the retreat. We were all in a different position in our businesses, some new, some really experienced.  I learnt through listening, sharing and connecting, and came away with actionable plans, great collaboration opportunities, and a feeling of calm. And also feeling like I could take on the world. International manufacturing and wholesale – here I come!! Three brilliant days of investment in myself, and my business. So, so glad I went. In the weeks that followed, more opportunities and connections have come as a result of this retreat and connecting with the women I met. Thanks Dee and Nat”.
