## Resource

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the story behind a spontaneous idea that turned into one of the most impactful business experiences I’ve had in a long time. After watching other creators attend mastermind-style weekends and feeling a little left out, I decided to stop waiting for an invitation and create my own room instead. I walk you through exactly how I organized a creator retreat in Austin, from inviting the first few people and coordinating travel logistics to planning mastermind sessions, booking an Airbnb, and creating an experience that helped everyone leave with actionable ideas for their business. Most importantly, this episode is a reminder that if the opportunity you want doesn’t exist yet, you have the power to create it yourself. Whether it’s a mastermind, a networking event, a girls’ weekend, or simply a space to connect with like-minded people, sometimes the best opportunities are the ones you build. What you'll learn Why waiting for an invitation may be holding you back How I organized a creator mastermind weekend from start to finish The simple mastermind framework we used to solve real business problems Ways to create meaningful connections with other entrepreneurs Why creating your own opportunities can lead to unexpected growth and friendships Resources & Links: Scalability Overflow Mastermind Kajabi 30-day free trial + 2 bonuses 150 Free Hooks IG University 30 Days of Manychat Pro FREE Learn how to run successful paid ads Some of the links mentioned are affiliate links, which help to support this podcast at no additional cost to you!
