214: How to Create the Time and Space You Need to Think Bigger
You know those war movies where the losing side of a battle retreats? Most wouldn’t consider that kind of retreat a positive thing. Yet when you think about it, the characters who make that call are giving themselves (and the others fighting) permission to pause, regroup, and strategize.
Members of the Runway to Freedom Mastermind enjoy a different kind of retreating that offers a similar purpose. As an entrepreneur and CEO, these retreats can propel you forward. So let’s talk about this concept of retreating to advance in your business (and life).
In this episode of She Thinks Big, you’ll learn some tangible benefits and real-life challenges of retreats. I’ll also reveal how one client advanced as a CEO after attending a recent retreat and provide a framework for mini-retreats you can start implementing today.
