We Survived Our Own Small Business Owners Bootcamp, And So Can You

We'll have pictures eventually (Paging Richie). Until then, please accept this hot tub time machine screenshot as a substitute.

I know you’re all clamoring with curiosity about the results of our first inaugural edition of our Bootcamp for Small Business Owners. So here’s the stats:

  • Days: 3
  • Location: Peshastin, WA
  • Survivors: 4
  • Number of hours ‘workshopping’: 15+
  • Gallons of alcohol consumed: no comment
  • Fitness “breaks”:  3
  • Fitness-break-induced-curses: 33
  • Hot Tub Hours Clocked per Person: 1.2
  • Earth shattering epiphanies experienced: countless

Each participant brought their own expertise to the table, as roughed out in our evil plan for world domination. Between the four of them, they represented mastery in the following fields: Sales, Project Management, Engineering, Fitness, Coaching, Writing, Social Media Marketing and Social, um, agitation.  And of course, each had an doctorate in Doin’ Your Own Thing, a required course for all past and future bootcamp participants.

 A good crew to work with, to say the least.

Some highlights:

Rich encountered a wolf.

Billy transformed shadows into an escape pod.

Lisa turned the tables on Nate. Twice.

Dan revived Guinness Communion after a 6-year hiatus.

“After begins during”

“Not documented, not done”

Family was a common theme among the projects we worked on. Not sure why I was so surprised by this, but there it is. My deepest gratitude goes out to the members of our small business family that participated in the bootcamp with us.  Thank you, Rich, Billy, Dan, and Lisa!

We’re already planning the next edition of the bootcamp, and it could be in your city. If you’re interested in participating in one of the most grueling, productive, and satisfying weekends of your entire life, let me know!
