Monday, March 8 – Arrival & Welcome Dinner

Check-in at the Beach House begins at 2:00 PM.

Tuesday, March 9

Fix That One Thing with Danelle German
Join Danelle for an interactive workshop designed to tackle that one thing in your business that keeps causing frustration. Whether it's time management, client communication, scheduling, or enforcing policies, you'll identify a recurring problem, work through a practical solution, and develop a 30-day action plan to finally fix it.

That evening, we’ll continue the Beach Retreat tradition with our group dinner at a local Brazilian Steakhouse (cost of this dinner is not included in your room rate).

 

Wednesday, March 10 – Free Day

Enjoy a full day to unwind or explore Myrtle Beach with your fellow CFMGs.

Past retreat attendees have enjoyed kayaking, horseback riding, paddle boarding, visits to the tiger preserve, and even day trips to Charleston. Or just sleep in, catch up on your TBR list in any of the lounge chairs at the house or walk along the beach.

Whether you’re poolside or adventuring, this is your time to relax and recharge.

 

Thursday, March 11

Training session with Lynn Paolillo (details coming soon).

Afterward, join us for a group dinner at the house and easy conversation by the pool.

 

Friday, March 12 

The Client Experience Makeover with Danelle German
Would you book your own business based on what a potential client sees online? Join Danelle for an interactive workshop where you'll evaluate your business through the eyes of a new customer. From your website and social media to pricing, credentials, and booking processes, you'll discover what's working, what's not, and where improvements are needed. You'll walk away with at least two improvements already made to create a better first impression and make it easier for clients to book with you.

Friday afternoon is open for relaxation, shopping, or simply enjoying the beach before our final night together, filled with group games and conversations.

 

Saturday, March 13

Say your goodbyes and exchange contact info before checking out by 9:30 AM.

You’ll leave refreshed, refocused, and ready to bring new energy back to your grooming business.
