How to Plan a Weekend Retreat to Boost Productivity

00:00:24 - Maelisa Hall
Welcome to season one of the My Biz Bestie podcast. I'm Melissa Hall.

00:00:28 - Amber Hawley
And I'm Amber Hawley.

00:00:30 - Maelisa Hall
And today we are talking to you about some ways that you can structure a weekend getaway to GSD, which is get shit done on your business.

00:00:41 - Amber Hawley
Or stuff for those people who don't like the S word.

00:00:44 - Maelisa Hall
True. Sorry. Get stuff done on your business.

00:00:48 - Amber Hawley
I like the irony that I said that.

00:00:50 - Maelisa Hall
Yes.

00:00:51 - Amber Hawley
Yeah.

00:00:51 - Maelisa Hall
Because of the two of us, Amber is the cusser. Touche. And... Just to let you know, so we are coming to you live today, if the sound is a little bit different, from Atlanta. We are both here in our hotel room for the International ADHD Conference, sponsored by Chad and Ada.
We're speaking tomorrow about how to find your ADHD tribe blueprint for professional women, and we're really excited about that.

00:01:21 - Amber Hawley
Yes, and also to let you know, not only are we live in our hotel room, and it's about 1 a.m. here, Which is only 11 a.m. our time. So really, it's quite early. Exactly. No, only 10 a.m. our time. Wow. It's so early. So early. But it is also our very first podcast where we are having a cocktail hour while recording.

00:01:45 - Maelisa Hall
Exactly. So if you're listening and it is in the evening, afternoon, happy hour, whatever, grab your own cocktail and listen. Or if it's in the morning... grab a coffee. Or if it's Sunday, grab a mimosa. And only on Sunday. I live in Long Beach and brunch is a big deal in Long Beach.
Yeah. So mimosas and Bloody Marys, big thing.

00:02:09 - Amber Hawley
Oh, they're huge. And I think, you know, pre-kids, they were huge for us as well. But day drinking does not work anymore. after children does not work.

00:02:17 - Maelisa Hall
But yeah, let's dive into how... So we're really excited about this because we've done quite a few different types of getaways where we've done different things. So we're going to share some different ideas for you all today. Yeah. So Amber, why don't you get us started with the first type of structure of the four?
that people could do for getting stuff done on their business. Yes.

00:02:38 - Amber Hawley
And this one's great because anybody can do it because it does not require that you have yet found your BizBestie or your tribe or your support system because it is a personal GSD. So this would be a day that you set aside and you go somewhere, ideally that you would go somewhere outside of your normal environment.
And you have, again, we're going to talk a little bit more about structures, but you have this plan for the things that you're going to work on and what you're going to get done. And there are so many things that you could do, like say, you know, I'm going to go take an entire day or a weekend and just work on content, or I'm going to work on getting caught up or cleaning out my email or whatever, whatever those lingering things are.
I mean, you get to decide, but it's about you going somewhere.

00:03:22 - Maelisa Hall
Yeah, and hopefully it's not cleaning out your email, although that could be really helpful. But like right now, if you're listening to this in real time, it's nearing the end of the year. That's a great way to plan out content or plan out your schedule for the next six months because we're getting up to January.
And Amber, you've done this, right? A personal GSD.

00:03:45 - Amber Hawley
Yes, I have. I've done it a couple different ways. Again, sometimes I rent a hotel room. Sometimes I just go sit at a hotel because I like sitting... When you can find those hotels where they have that extended restaurant bar area so you don't feel pressure to leave the restaurant.
Yeah, and it's kind of cozy, but people are serving you. Yes. So you can get food and drinks and... I mean like, you know, sodas, waters, whatever. That's not how I do it.

00:04:09 - Maelisa Hall
Sure she does, folks.

00:04:10 - Amber Hawley
Yes. And you can get food and drinks all day long and be served, but you don't feel like at a traditional restaurant, unless you know them really well, you don't feel like you're taking up a spot and feel pressure to leave, right? Right, right.

00:04:22 - Maelisa Hall
Which maybe you could do if you have like a cool coffee shop where you feel like You can hang out for the day and you want to do a GSD for like four to six hours. I could see that working, too.

00:04:31 - Amber Hawley
Sure, I think the reason I chose hotels is you. You said the word cozy, because they tend to be more comfortable and then they have seating that's more comfortable. And I like that because if I'm going to be there for an extended period of time, I want to feel like.
Because in a coffee shop like, I, you know, I love going to a coffee shop or Starbucks or something and working. But I'm really distracted by people. So hotels, even though there's good people watching here and there. it tends not to be as busy or as bustling.
So my ADHD brain gets to be calm enough to actually focus on why I'm there.

00:05:01 - Maelisa Hall
Totally get that. Yeah. And I think actually the only time I've done this was I had planned a trip to do some marketing videos for my online business and planned ahead, which I was really happy I did. to have a whole day in between. So I actually like flew in a day early and had an entire day of nothing on my schedule.
And I was staying at a hotel by the beach. And I did like, I took some time to go and hang out at the pool, sunbathe and got some lunch and then, you know, went up and did some work. And then I kind of moved. So my thing is I like to move locations. I don't want to sit in the same spot for a really long time.
So I did some work in the hotel room. Then I went and sat by the beach and did some work. Then I went and sat at a table and did some work. But I was really productive. And this is an extrovert talking.

But I was by myself all day and had time to really focus on getting some important things done.

00:05:59 - Amber Hawley
See, that's so wonderful. But you have to know yourself, right? Because for me, I know that if I sat in my hotel room, I would end up watching TV. or renting a movie. And I know this because my plan for my thesis for my like the yeah, it's thesis when you're graduating grad school, you have to write this big thing and it has to be approved and accepted in order to graduate.
And it's a big deal, a really big deal. And I being ADHD procrastinator was like, Oh my gosh, here it's coming here. It's coming. So I remember leaving work on Saturday because I used to run these groups on Saturday, went to a hotel and And I was going to stay for two nights because it was due Monday morning at noon.
And I went there and I literally kept watching TV and renting movies. And at one point, I invited my husband by to have breakfast and stuff.

And he was like, you're insane. You need to be doing this. It's too distracting for me. I have found that that is not the way to do it for me. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. But for me, sitting in the lobby or something where I can't turn on a TV or whatever, I'm And, you know, you could always turn on Facebook.
I mean, that's a rabbit hole in itself. But yeah, so that's the personal GSD. Like anybody can do that. The other, the second structure is the BizBestie retreat. And we have done a few of these as well.

00:07:14 - Maelisa Hall
Yes. Aside from like what we're doing now, which is going to a conference together.

00:07:18 - Amber Hawley
Yes. Although we're going to do a little GSD like in between parts or after things are over. But yes, this is a little, this is different because it was not, our primary focus was to come and to speak publicly. And to network and meet people and learn new things about ADHD, but not to actually do the GSD.
Right, right.

00:07:36 - Maelisa Hall
So this one, the BizBestie focus, you can, if you have a BizBestie, just arrange with someone and you can either run a hotel room together or you can run a house together. Sometimes that's even cheaper to get like Airbnb. Yeah. And the key there is just like with any kind of GSD, you want to take away as many distractions as possible.
So you don't want to sit there and focus on like having to go grocery shopping and do, you know, prepare a bunch of meals for yourselves and all of that. You want to order in, have things planned ahead and just be able to show up and get your work done.

00:08:13 - Amber Hawley
Yes, that for sure. And I guess let's hit on the last two and then kind of go in the structures because I feel like they're naturally leading us into the different ways to structure each of them. So the My Biz Bestie one, like you said, is just you and one other person.
So it's easy to coordinate. It is. It's easy to coordinate. That's a benefit. It also is like less distraction because it's only one other person. And presumably your Biz Bestie is somebody you work really well with, right?

00:08:39 - Maelisa Hall
And actually, we kind of did this with the podcast in the beginning because in a really inexpensive way where I just stayed at your house, but then we went to your office and we did it over a weekend. So nobody was in your office and it was just the two of us in your office getting stuff done.
And then we went and had dinner. And so you couldn't do it different ways, you know, based on your budget.

00:08:59 - Amber Hawley
Yeah, absolutely. Yes, they can be budget conscious. And the reason that I typically we suggest that you go somewhere else. Well, one is obvious, right? Like even in my office, if I allowed myself, I could see my inbox and all the reminders or we went we went on a weekend when none of my employees were there.
So that's there was less distraction in that way. But also, if you're doing it at home, there's also all those distractions. But from that book, The Best Place to Work was that great suggestion that actually being in a new environment makes you more productive.

00:09:27 - Maelisa Hall
Yeah, especially if you're doing anything creative, which I would recommend these kind of longer retreats or getaways or whatever you want to call them are really helpful for creative endeavors. I mean, this is not what you go Yes, yes.

00:09:43 - Amber Hawley
Well, yes, unless you have to get creative with your accounting, but that's a whole separate business and that's not what we're promoting here. Yeah. And then the next one is like a small group getaway. And we have done a few of these as well. And the last one I'm just going to say is the bigger tribe getaway.
Away if you happen to have, like, we talk about our Mavens group. There are nine of us. And we do an annual retreat for one week, and that's like pre-planned, you know, one week structure. But the we wanted to do some mini GSDs where we could still do that throughout the year, like every quarter, and we invited a few people.
And the ones that we've done, it's been between like three and five people. And so through trial and error and realizing like, you know, some of it's just based on availability or geography or whatnot. But I think it's really important to be thoughtful about, you know, are there people that you work well with?

If you're in a mode where you're like, I really have a launch coming up or I have to crunch or I really, you know, it's very time consuming. Constricted. You don't want to be with people who are distracting to you, or even if you love them, right? But it's like, you got to think about, what are you there for and who do you work well with?

00:10:50 - Maelisa Hall
Yeah, and you want to make sure, because since these are often retreats and we're recommending you do. Because it's really. It does not have to be that expensive to get out of your house and stay somewhere else and order a couple meals. I mean, it's really not a huge investment, right?
No, so. The key there is you want to make sure that someone else is not doing it for a vacation.

00:11:11 - Amber Hawley
Yes, because then, yeah, it's just going to be in a total different space. And I will say, so the ones that we did, so the small group one, I think the structure that I have found the most beneficial for the small group was doing a four-day. So the first day is like travel per se.
So let's say we arrive on a Friday and we leave on a Monday. And that way, Saturday, Sunday were two full work days. So I... For me, because I feel like I need that space for creativity to feel like I'm not being interrupted because I'm always in my regular life interrupted all the time.
So it just feels so good to have that space. And then that last day was like, you know, sleep in, maybe finish up a few things and then head home. So those two days are kind of like travel. But I loved having two full days because when we did shorter ones with three days, it just felt very pressured.

00:11:56 - Maelisa Hall
Yeah, because the only full day you have to work on stuff is in the middle. The other day is the day that you arrive. And if you haven't seen one another, like Amber and I don't live near one another at all. So sometimes when we get together, it's even though we do talk every day, which now sounds a little ridiculous.
You know, there's a part of being together where you're like, oh, you're catching up or you're saying hi to whoever. And then maybe we do recommend you kind of ease in, have like we usually go out to dinner the first night, do something like that. And then you have a full day.
And then if you're leaving on day three, then sometimes people are leaving early in the morning and you don't really have any time to get stuff done that day.

00:12:36 - Amber Hawley
And so for us on those days, small group ones, we decided that the day we travel in, we go out for a nice dinner. So it's kind of a relaxed ease into the weekend. And we probably, you know, at that point, we might share with each other like what's our intention for the weekend, that kind of thing.
We're going to talk a little bit more about like the approaches. But yeah, we just kind of wanted to share like how we're structuring it. But of course, this is in no way like the blueprint that you must follow.

00:13:02 - Maelisa Hall
Yeah. And I think I guess that's the thing is, the important thing is to consider what do you want to get out of it and at least talk about like, we're each going to do our own thing or let's have a focus together or let's all go out to dinner together because you wouldn't all want to show up and be like, oh, I want to go have a nice dinner.
And then somebody else is like, let's just order pizza and dive in.

00:13:24 - Amber Hawley
Yes. And so in that regard, yeah, you want to kind of have to be on the same page. And I know like The one that we did, we've done a couple of these. And actually in both of them, what we did is we did go out for a nice dinner and then we went grocery shopping.
On the first one, we went grocery shopping and we realized.

00:13:38 - Maelisa Hall
Which is kind of fun after you have a nice dinner and a glass of wine and you're just hanging out.

00:13:44 - Amber Hawley
But we realized that also ruins your buzz. So we shopped beforehand the second time. I think we were smarter.

00:13:51 - Maelisa Hall
So I guess it depends.

00:13:52 - Amber Hawley
Yes, it was fun for ENFP, you weirdo. Yeah. Frigging weirdo. But you know, so yeah, the second time when we went to Santa Rosa, we shopped ahead of time, but everybody kind of chose to take over a meal. And so the cool part was, well, you didn't spend all your time cooking.
And when we were in Tahoe, we had done it where we ordered in food a couple of times. So there was flexibility in that and you can always go do what you want and anybody's free to leave at any time.

00:14:18 - Maelisa Hall
Yeah. And then when we stay, when you and I stayed in a hotel together, we didn't even think about that. Right. We just like got some water and, Because you got to have water in your hotel room and then order it at the hotel the whole time.

00:14:29 - Amber Hawley
Yeah, we sat in the hotel, which would have been great had the hotel not been having like heating issues. But generally, that works really well. I like the sitting in a hotel and just being able to work, work, work kind of thing. And the thing is with these, that first night we're easing in or we're having that downtime.
But then we really will sit and focus and just work long days.

00:14:50 - Maelisa Hall
But it's fun. Yeah, because... I mean, I guess we're a little crazy and we like that, but you wouldn't be building up a business retreat if you didn't like it. Or I do know a lot of people, I've actually heard a lot of people write books this way. So sometimes maybe it isn't something that excites you per se, but it's something you know that you really need to hunker down and focus on.
So you want to think about all those different things. Like what is your intention for that?

00:15:16 - Amber Hawley
For sure. And yeah, and so it's, yeah, we would, and we do have fun. Because even within those things, like, you know, towards the end of the night, there are libations. Sometimes there are creating fun dance videos.

00:15:31 - Maelisa Hall
Yes, that one person in the group decides should not be shared with others. Otherwise, we would love to share it with you. ENFPs love to share, but not everyone in that dance video was an ENFP.

00:15:43 - Amber Hawley
Just saying. Although it was epic. And it was based on a... a foreign language video. So it was really amazing. It was legit amazing. But yeah, we do entertain ourselves. So we definitely have fun, but then we continue to work. So I guess those are the main ones.
I know, did you want to touch on the tribe thing a little bit?

00:16:02 - Maelisa Hall
Yeah, I think the tribe, we will definitely do a full episode on this because that is how we met. It is kind of epic. It's a totally different thing because for us, when we meet with the tribe, that's nine women getting together. So that is a bigger...
organization. And I think we've already mentioned, but we have two people designated each year to plan that. So the other seven aren't having to worry about the planning. We all give input and share, but that's a bigger endeavor and we're all gone for a full week.
So it's also a different level of commitment.

00:16:34 - Amber Hawley
Yeah, it's a very different thing altogether. So I think, like you said, in season two, we're actually going to be on our annual week retreat with the ladies while we're still in the middle and recording season two. So that will be wonderful. We will get to share that.
So yeah, we're going to go into talking about, okay, what are the different approaches for this, right? So whether you're doing individual or with your biz bestie, small group, tribe, whatever, we've kind of Sussed out that we feel like there are three different approaches.
There's individual focus together, there's the shared focus, and then there's the shared project, and so I guess the individual focus together. That's how, mostly, that's how we started, it's the most organic way. Meaning we all went in working on our own businesses, our own projects.
We were kind of doing our own thing and I.

I know for the first time that I had done this with my other biz bestie Malaya, we had gone to a hotel. We had actually gone to a conference. It was a two-day conference. And we decided, I think we came in the night before and then we left the day after the two-day conference.
But we didn't attend the second day. We went and sat in the lobby. And we sat there for like, it was like 12 hours straight from 11 a.m. till 11 p.m. and just worked. And it was wonderful. And we had a lot of fun, you know. We were playing our music and enjoying ourselves and eating and drinking and all of that.
But we really did a lot of work. And she was going through her checklist. I was kind of going through mine. So we were working on our own stuff, but we were together.

00:17:58 - Maelisa Hall
Yeah. And even when we have our larger tribe, we get like full week getaways. That's always what it is. Because with nine people, I mean, that's a lot to coordinate. So we all nine of us are all doing something totally different. So someone might have a focus wherever Honestly, someone's focus might be, you know what, I've had a crazy year and I need to relax.
And then someone else's focus is I'm just checking off things on my to do list. And someone else's focus is I'm writing a full workbook while I'm here. So it's totally different. And then we all just kind of check in with each other as needed.

00:18:32 - Amber Hawley
Yeah. And with that one, like I remember the first year. I was so exhausted, like sleep deprivation, all that. those, you can establish your goal ahead of time. Because I think saying it to somebody ahead of time, there's some level of accountability that can happen in just saying that.
Not everybody needs that, but it can be nice. And then we can kind of check in on each other. Otherwise, you can kind of just show up and do whatever you feel like doing.

00:19:12 - Maelisa Hall
But I feel like with the smaller ones, we've always told each other what we plan to work on, even if we have a separate intention. And then the nice thing is like, we had one where we were all doing our own thing, but when we needed a break, it was like, you wanted me to review something that you had created.
And then I was like, I'm kind of brain dead at this point for creating this other thing. So you actually wrote up a bio for me while I read your handout that you had created. And so we were able to sort of take a break and help each other at the same time.

00:19:47 - Amber Hawley
Yeah. And that's kind of the nice thing, right? Because The reason that you want to go with a biz bestie or other people is you can get feedback on stuff. And again, it's not like we sit and bug each other and interrupt each other all day long, except for sometimes.
But it was, you know, hey, when you get a chance, this is what I'm looking for. And it's not a lot of demand on each other because I think, again, that would be problematic if you're trying to actually focus. But it is nice when you're having those down minutes to say, hey, can you just take a quick look at this?
And I think that's the value is getting that second pair of eyes or feedback or whatever, or just bouncing ideas off of somebody.

00:20:22 - Maelisa Hall
Yeah, which is different from the next approach, which could be actually having a shared project where you are working on the same thing. together, which makes sense for a retreat together.

00:20:33 - Amber Hawley
Yes. And this has happened a couple times. So when we've gone away with our small group, there are two of the women do retreats together and have different events. So they were actually working on their event and their website and marketing and all of that kind of stuff.
So they did that. And then once we decided to launch the podcast together, now we've been doing that. But before that, neither of us had a shared project to work on.

00:20:59 - Maelisa Hall
Right. But yeah, I think that was the first time when we had the podcast that we, or even before the podcast, we went to Podcast Movement. And this is kind of, I can see a lot of these being like tack on things. So we went to an event. And then the day after the event, you stayed later.
And so I came back over and we worked on this podcast together, like creating ideas and talking about episodes and different things like that. So that was where we were together working on something that required both of us to be there.

00:21:32 - Amber Hawley
Yeah. And so obviously that's only for somebody if it's your biz bestie happens to be doing a project with you or a shared event or you are business partners as well. I guess that would be the structure for that.

00:21:43 - Maelisa Hall
But I would say there's a lot to be said for you and I talk every day, almost every day. And our Yeah. And the flow, the flow is so much better.

00:22:10 - Amber Hawley
Yeah. And even if you were working on individual stuff, and like we've done the virtual retreats too, I guess we didn't think about that, where you're actually working and then we kind of check in via Zoom on scheduled times. But really, for me, the in-person stuff, it's just, you know, there's no comparison.
And there's just a different energy, there's a different flow and a creative vibe and spark. And it's just, I value it so much. I think it's so good. And then the last one is a shared focus. And actually, I guess that was this summer when we went to Santa Ana was the first time we'd ever done it this way.
And this was based off of the podcast that you shared with me.

00:22:47 - Maelisa Hall
Yeah. And so I had heard a podcast on Side Hustle Nation. Nick Loper was interviewing a guy named Joe Hogue, and he was talking about SEO. And he had... so many actionable tips and ideas for how you could improve SEO. And we will link to that episode in the show notes because it was really valuable.
And I shared it with you. And then I don't remember which one of us even had the idea, but we were like, this would be great for doing a GSD weekend and both focusing on that. So we're each focusing on our own businesses and specifically on SEO. So it was a little bit different and we had times of working on our own.
But at the same time, because we had that shared focus, we were both in the same headspace and we were able to kind of brainstorm together and ask questions and we were going off of like the same resources.

So it was really cool.

00:23:42 - Amber Hawley
Yeah. And I think the value of that was, like you said, you're in that same headspace. Like, you know, if you're both doing something that's outside your norm, right, like unless you do SEO for a living, that's a whole different ballgame. But if your business is something else and you want to kind of like clean up your SEO or kind of take a look at that kind of stuff, you know, those things that are always on your entrepreneurial to-do list, that's You may sit there for years because you're always doing all the other stuff.
And of course, there are things that ultimately you should outsource. But sometimes there are things like you should take a look at it and kind of have a better understanding. So this was valuable because then we were both there and you were both looking at different things.
technologies or apps or tools or whatever, those kinds of things. And I, I think the same thing, like if you, you and your biz bestie were both launching courses, even if they're completely separate businesses, you're going through the same procedures or structure.

And there's a lot of value in that and having somebody kind of, you know, go through that with you and kind of give you that feedback at that same time.

00:24:42 - Maelisa Hall
Absolutely. It was really helpful. And it was also a good topic. So I mean, that's not gonna work for everything. But that was a really good topic to have some focus time on because it's not something while it's always something I want to improve, like your SEO, you could always improve pretty much anytime.
Let's improve our SEO tomorrow, it would be helpful. But it was a topic that was really helpful to have dedicated time to focus on and not be distracted by other things going on in our businesses.

00:25:10 - Amber Hawley
Yeah. And that's why like this end of the year thing, there is a lot of value. Like if you, we've done this before and I think, you know, we'll do this again is getting together to say, okay, let's plan next year. And so your plans are going to be very different and what you're trying to accomplish are going to be very different, but you're going to be going through the same information, like creating, okay.
what's the plan? What are the events? What's the schedule? What is my revenue expectations? And what are the goals I'm trying to reach? And so going through goal planning, I think the value, again, in the group that we have is so very active. And we've all either read so many books or podcasts or...
bought programs or planners and stuff to kind of help you guide you through that process. And then we kind of synthesize them to work for us.

And so I think that's the beauty, having those other people to give us that feedback and say, Hey, you know, this is one, here's a little worksheet that I found, you know, and, and give that support to one another. Absolutely.

00:26:09 - Maelisa Hall
So hopefully this has given you some great ideas for ways that you could structure your a weekend getaway or, you know, it doesn't have to be a weekend, but a day or two or three or four away with yourself or with other people that can help you focus on your business.

00:26:25 - Amber Hawley
Yeah. And if I were to say what I find to be the most productive, I'm probably going to say the BizBestie getaway or the small group. And not because I don't love the other versions. They have value and they're amazing. But I know me and I'm distracted easily.
So I need to make sure that it's like non-distractability because I could just sit and talk to people all day long. I love that. I could just do that. And so I would easily do that and then not get my work done. But I also do think that the little mini ones, the four-day ones, really work for me because...
when I, it's almost like that week you think you have all the time in the world, but that goes so fast too. So knowing like, okay, I have two full days so I can ease in, you know, kind of unwind because, you know, face it, we all have busy lives and, oh, we're not using the busy word.

We all have very full lives. If you need to listen to a previous episode to get that one and then have those two days of really like, here's my focused intentionality and, you know, here's my manageable thing that I'm going to try to accomplish.

00:27:28 - Maelisa Hall
Yeah. And that even reminds me, like, you can get creative with this because, like I tell you often, I find that I'm very productive on airplanes. And I think it's because it takes away that distraction from me. And the only time that got messed up was...
the other day when the person sitting next to me was really engaging and we really hit it off and we ended up talking a lot on the airplane. And I was planning on being really productive on that flight.

00:27:54 - Amber Hawley
And ironically, he was an entrepreneur with ADHD as well.

00:27:58 - Maelisa Hall
Yes. So we ended up having a great conversation and hopefully is listening to this episode as a result of that conversation. But, you know, that is something that I've actually considered booking a flight to to and from some place because I know that that's a way that I can be productive.
So get creative with it, you know, like whatever you have to do to get your work done. If you know that you've been productive in whatever setting, make it happen.

00:28:24 - Amber Hawley
Yeah. And you're one of those people, you get epic amounts of stuff done on a plane.

00:28:29 - Maelisa Hall
Me, I just watch movies and Well, yeah, like if planes stress you out, that's probably not what you want to do, right?

00:28:36 - Amber Hawley
But I think you would, if you just booked a flight somewhere, stayed for a few hours and then booked a flight back, you would get a lot done that day. So yes, you have, again, it's all about knowing yourself, right? And what works best for you and don't feel like, oh, you have to do it this way or that way.
So... But yeah, we do hope that, you know, you got a lot of value on out of this. It is fun to finally be recording in person. This is our first episode in person. So not only are we doing remotely in Atlanta, Georgia, and we're doing it in person and we are having our cocktail, although I will say we did make sure to slow our roll so that Yeah, we didn't want to have too many cocktails pre-recording.
We're thoughtful of you guys. But yeah, we hope you got a lot of value out of this. And, you know, we would love for you to subscribe to our show and be notified of all of our new episodes.

And we'll be finishing out season two at the end of this year. But also, if you could share an episode with a friend, you know. hook a biz bestie up and let everyone know about all this amazingness and ways of doing this. Actually, if you share this episode with somebody that could be like an invitation to them to say, Hey, let's do a mini GSD.
You never know. You never know. So thanks for joining us and we will see you next week. We'll probably be coming to you. Oh, actually, we'll still be coming to you from Atlanta. That's right. We're going to do some more episodes here. Allegedly, we're going to be recording some more episodes Saturday night after the conference ends.
Allegedly. More to come on that. Stay tuned. All right. Thanks for joining us. Have an awesome night. Bye.
