Treat Yourself to a Home Retreat
Hello from Mallorca! Jen Clarke and I, Elke Clarke, are currently holding our June 2019 Mallorca Mentoring Retreat™ in beautiful sunny Spain. The retreat members who have joined us are having an amazing time. And are benefiting immensely from this unique small-group mentoring experience.
We are bonding, making friends, laughing, having fun, making memories, and visiting gorgeous sites of Mallorca, The members of the mentoring retreat are receiving the specifically tailored support and guidance they need to achieve their Zazzle earnings and business goals.
This is a life-changing opportunity and we want to give you a similar opportunity as well even if you were not able to join us in Mallorca.
The perfect way to do this is to treat yourself to a home retreat. In this article, we will give you tips on how to set up a home retreat and receive the most benefit from it.
A Retreat Takes You Out of Your Daily Routine
Do you feel like your daily routine is getting you down? Are you distracted by chores or daily commitments?
When you remove yourself from life’s everyday distractions and commitments, you will be able to focus completely on your Zazzle business.
By holding a home retreat, you will create an environment and event during which you can focus completely on yourself and your business.
Preparation for a Home Retreat
Prepare for your home retreat to ensure that you will have no distractions and structure how your home retreat will proceed.
Make sure that you do the following:
- Markdown in your calendar a specific period of time that you will dedicate to holding your home retreat and stick to it.
- Tell your family members and friends that you will be holding a home retreat. Make sure that they know you will be focusing on your business during this time and that you are not to be disturbed.
- Finish all your chores and daily responsibilities like laundry and dirty dishes, and anything that can be distracting and take you away from your home retreat.
- Prepare an uncluttered, dedicated workspace and make it nice with some flowers or have a specialty coffee (that you wouldn’t normally buy) to drink while working, etc. This will help you feel like it’s different than your normal work-at-home situation.
- Schedule time for “work” time and “fun” time (about 50:50) every day and adhere to the times.
Treating Yourself During Your Home Retreat
Right now the participants on our June retreat are in Mallorca, being inspired by the stunning landscape, swimming in the turquoise sea, soaking up the warm sun, experiencing the Spanish culture, and enjoying the culinary variety the island has to offer.
The purpose of the “fun” time of the retreat is to take yourself out of your normal life and into an environment that is positive and motivational and allows you to get perspective o your own life.
You can block out your daily routine and struggles to allow yourself to see opportunities and be inspired to reach your goals. That is why most retreats are held in exotic and interesting locations. You feel happy and inspired by being in a different and exciting location.
Since you were unable to join us in Mallorca, here are some suggestions for you to do during the “fun” time during your home retreat experience:
- Listen to music that will make you feel relaxed and motivated.
- Go for walks and enjoy the scenery around your home.
- Indulge in your favorite foods.
- Pamper yourself as if you were at a spa.
- Take time to do things that you enjoy and that make you feel rejuvenated.
As long as the activities you choose are ones that you love doing and would not normally do, then you will feel like you are treating yourself. That is the goal.
Growing Your Business During a Home Retreat
For the “work” time of the retreat experience, consider doing things that you don’t normally get to on a daily basis but know that you need to do because they are important.
Use the following tips to structure your itinerary:
- Make a work schedule for the duration of your retreat. Plan out your hours when you will work. Is it in the morning or at night? When do you work best?
- Complete course material that you have purchased or decide what new things you should learn to help improve your business and yourself.
- Reflect on past accomplishments and failures and what you can learn from them.
- Identify weaknesses and decide how you can overcome them
- Set short-term and set long-term goals and create an action plan to achieve them
When you are done, you will have done things to improve your mindset, and skills and have a clear action plan and goals to work towards to achieve the success you desire.
Use Your Home Retreat Outcomes Effectively
After you complete your home retreat, keep the momentum going. This is the time to take advantage of the AHA moments you experienced and the gains you made in planning how your business can generate the income you want and become a success.
Use your renewed excitement which you created through the experience of the retreat and use it to take action.
You have most likely added many things to your TO-DO LIST. Stay positive and believe that you can achieve them.
Always be mindful that these are important action steps that will create your successful Zazzle business.
