Momentum 2026
Your Quarterly Business Reset
Momentum is a four-part annual retreat series designed for solopreneurs, coaches, and business owners who want consistent quarterly execution, not reactive hustle.
Instead of drifting through the year, you will move through it intentionally.
Four strategic days. Out of the office. In nature.
Time to connect with what truly matters.
A year of steady, intentional momentum.
You built the business. You carry the vision. You make the decisions…
Alone.
And while you are capable fiercely capable, there are days when the weight of it sits heavier than you admit.
The overthinking.
The second-guessing.
The constant recalculating.
You don’t need another course. You don’t need more ideas.
You need rhythm. You need space. You need a room that matches your ambition.
Momentum is four strategic days out of the office, in nature, across the year.
Time to think clearly. Time to execute decisively.
Time to stop carrying it all on your own.
A full year of forward motion.
When you’re not alone you move from “Am I doing this right?”
to
“This is my next move.”
Momentum doesn’t remove the responsibility of leadership. It removes the isolation of it.
Who is this for?
• Solopreneurs in their first few years of business
• Coaches and consultants refining their offer and direction
• Founders who crave structured thinking time
• Business owners who are tired of building alone
If you have ideas but struggle with consistent implementation, this is your room. Continue reading to learn more about our Wellington business retreat.
Why Quarterly Rhythm Works
Research in psychology shows that performance improves in the presence of others, and that structured accountability significantly increases follow-through.
Working alone creates decision fatigue. Working in community strengthens focus and execution.
Momentum is designed around this principle:
You don’t need more motivation. You need the right environment.

Business Bestie Rate
You know… that person.
The one you voice-note when you’re spiralling about pricing. The one who gets your 11pm “I have a new idea” messages.
The one who understands that building a business is both thrilling and mildly unhinged.
Bring them.
Momentum is powerful solo. It’s next-level when shared.
You’ll have someone to debrief with on the drive home. Someone to sanity-check the big ideas.
Someone to keep you honest between quarters.
Less “I should probably…” More “We said we would.”
$947 per person
