Are you a successful entrepreneur but are struggling to get to the next level?

Are you spending so much time managing the day-to-day of your business that you don’t have the space to work on growth opportunities?

Could you benefit from guidance that will help you find the best ways to free up your time to work on the business to help it grow?

Does this sound like you?

  • I struggle to manage my time effectively between managing day-to-day operations, developing new strategies, and other responsibilities.

  • I find financial management to be a challenge, especially when it comes to keeping track of cash flow, expenses, and taxes.

  • I have difficulty developing effective marketing strategies, especially since I don’t have a background in marketing.

  • I find it hard to attract and retain talented staff, especially when competing against larger, more established companies.

  • I’m struggling to manage growth effectively, especially as we scale quickly or experience unexpected demand.

  • I find it challenging to separate work and personal life, especially since I work long hours or have a limited staff.

  • I’m constantly dealing with uncertainty, which can be stressful when trying to make decisions for the business.

  • I find it challenging to find new customers, especially since we operate in a highly competitive market and have limited marketing resources.

  • I find it difficult to keep up with new technologies and incorporate them into our business processes, which could impact our competitiveness.

  • I’m working hard to maintain a positive company culture, but it can be challenging, especially as we experience growth or change.

Your Leaders and Retreat Guides

Lianne Bridges (MBA)

Author, International Speaker and Transformation Coach

After two decades working within a variety of businesses and not-for-profit organizations, Lianne caught the entrepreneurial bug and launched a successful strategy consulting business. When her husband passed away ten years later, she immersed herself in personal development teachings and spiritual practices. She sensed that her time on Earth was about more than being successful in her own right.

She decided to put her MBA and 30-year track record working for multinationals in service for others. She dedicated her life to helping others to connect with their deeper wisdom and align with a new vision for their lives that offers greater meaning, passion and self-expression. In 2009, she founded Designing Transformation, which offers guidance, resources, events and a community in support people stepping into their greater potential.

She recently published her memoir, Love Will Keep Us Alive, which recounts her own journey of overcoming great loss and awakening to her life purpose.
