" I attended the Live and Grow Retreat. It was an amazing experience that really helped me to understand the value and importance of having a Business Plan in place each year to not only grow my business but to increase my profits. I felt the facilitators did such a great job breaking the details down so it was easy to understand the steps I need to take and how to implement them. The location was peaceful and the food was amazing. I enjoyed being surrounded by other women who are passionate about their business and I felt inspired to come home and take action. Thank you Lydia for hosting such a thoughtful event. "
