Dinner is open this night so you can enjoy some local flavors of area restaurants.
Day 3: This day we will have two seminar sessions with Re-Branding with Gracee Owen and Marketing with Content & Social Media, including activities to create up to a year’s worth of promotions and posts for your business. Enjoy dinner together at the house, followed by some group games and activities!
Day 4: Great day to relax on the beach or to schedule a solo or group excursion! Make sure to join the Beach Retreat group on Facebook if you’d like to plan activities with others in advance. See this article for some unique things to see and do in Myrtle Beach. In the evening, bring your laptop or notebooks to capture all your great ideas for your business growth to the gathering spaces in the house. Small groups can break off to share and support fellow CFMGs.
Day 5: Danelle’s famous and delicious Business Brunch will help you fine tune and explore your business’s growth plan. Group photo will be taken outside (weather permitting) as well.
