NW2

YES YOU!
If you’ve been craving uninterrupted time to finally make progress on your writing projects, this retreat was designed with you in mind.

I’m excited to invite you to the Writers Retreat at The Wen—a five‑night creative getaway hosted in a beautifully restored 1900s inn in Peterson, Minnesota. It’s the perfect blend of structure, inspiration, and quiet focus for business owners, authors, and anyone with writing goals.

Here’s what makes this retreat special:
- Daily closed‑door writing sessions to help you make real progress
- Optional excursions for inspiration, including local cultural sites and the farmers market
- Relaxing activities like art journaling, coffee‑house writing, and evening gatherings
-A peaceful small‑town setting ideal for deep focus
- Discounted lodging and a supportive community of fellow writers

This retreat is ideal for anyone wanting to complete or make progress on:
- Business writing (websites, newsletters, blogs, lead magnets, client materials)
- Books and manuscripts
- Memoirs and personal stories
- Course content or program materials
- Journaling or creative writing projects
- Strategic planning or content calendars

Once you register, you’ll receive a special discount code for 55% off your stay at the Inn. If you’re ready for a dedicated space to think, write, and create—without distractions—I’d love to have you join us.

Money Mistakes That Keep Your Business Broke
Shiny Object Syndrome
Ever been tempted by the latest tool, course, or “must-have” program because everyone else is doing it? That’s shiny object syndrome, and it can quietly drain your bank account while pulling you away from your real goals.
Quick Fix:
• For irresistible offers: Ask, Will this pay for itself? If you can’t see a clear ROI, skip it.
• For new ideas: Create a “Someday List.” Capture it now, return to it later.
Question for you: What’s the last shiny object you almost bought (or maybe did buy )?
