Frequently Asked Questions...

What is the latest date to book?

The last ticket sales including accommodation will close 12noon on Monday 30th October. This is due to final numbers for finalise lodgings and catering for the week.

If my partner wants to attend, is there a discount for sharing a room?

Yes. Partner tickets are only $1995, which will be offered on checkout. This is assuming you share the same accommodation room, which may only have 1 bed for sleeping.

Can I pre-book for the other upcoming retreats?

Yes. Retreat participants will have first access to book for future retreats as tickets become available.

What do I need to bring?

All accommodation and food is provided but you may want to bring some petty cash for minor extras along the way including some beverages.

Please bring any clothes, personal items, medications or other usual needs you require during the week.


Laptop is highly recommended (as well as mobile data for 'hotspotting'). You will get more done with access to your personal device for researching online and completing plans while on site. A paper version of the workbooks are provided for every participant to scribble your notes and workings.


Equipment and towels for recreational activities are provided on-site.

Is there transport to the venue?

There is no public transport to complete the drive into the venue. The best option is to drive and park for the duration if you are local, or catch the train to Walloon Station (on the Rosewood Line) and then a taxi/Uber for the final 12min drive.

May I bring my children if there was no-one to look after them?

Children would need to be supervised at all times and may be a hindrance to yourself and other participants trying to immerse themselves in a focused experience. If this is critical to your attendance then please contact us directly on (07) 3180 3847 to discuss your situation. But generally, the answer is no.

What if I can't stay over due to family commitments, is there another option to attend?

Yes. There will be a DAY PASS option for locals and busy parents who can't possibly stay the week. This ticket includes all business strategy workshops to complete the foundation steps. This is from 9am to 3pm only and includes lunch. This is a practical experience rather than a comprehensive one.

What if I book but need to cancel. Do I get a refund?

Yes, but we will retain a $200 administration fee if you cancel within 14 days of the event.

What experience do you have delivering this ?

Good question. You program designer and lead facilitator for the Retreat is Rhonwyn Learner, the Founder and General Manager of Business In Training.

Rhonwyn has run workshops and accredited training on business planning for the past 10 years. Through Coaching hundreds of start ups and business owners, she knows precisely how to draw out your dreams, goals and challenges, lay them out in front of you and show you what you need to make it happen. If you're facing big challenges, she is definitely the person to talk to.

This is meant to be an all-in experience but you will have the option to book private coaching following the retreat if you need more help.

So, what exactly will I have completed by the end of the retreat?

This is strategy building and time management. This means reviewing what exactly is working in your business, ensuring your products, services and business model fit with what you're trying to achieve, then exploring opportunities to gain the most progress towards your business goals over the next 12 months.

The aim is to complete a 12 month action plan to know what will be the core growth strategies to focus on and exactly what tasks need to be done quarterly/monthly/weekly/daily to execute them.

While some strategies may include marketing promotions or communications, we have separate learning experiences to focus on that.

Is this just for women?

Definitely not. We believe business is the ultimate equaliser for gaining financial independence, so we are completely impartial to gender, race, age or anything else that you feel sets you apart. To us, you're a Business Owner, no matter what package you come in.

School pickups?

We get it. Managing a business and a family is hard and balance is always important.


If you live local and can't commit to staying overnight, you can choose to attend the key strategy workshops only.


The DAY PASS will allow you to build your 2024 strategy and still get back for school pickups. You'll complete your full action plan, you'll just miss all the additional focus, personal development and networking that comes with the full retreat experience.
