What's your breakthrough business model?
This guide contains the need-to-know facets of each business model so you can strategically plan your entrepreneurial journey.
![🌿 Research Proves It! 🌳
.
Just gazing at nature can increase your productivity.
.
It's one of the reasons that my friend Denise and I are hosting a 1 day retreat at her ranch in the Columbia River Gorge - to be a sanctuary where people can unplug from the noise of the city and embrace the trees, birds, fresh air, and expansive views.
.
As it turns out, research shows that being in nature offers up some pretty surprising benefits like...
.
🔹 Improved short-term memory
🔹 Decreasing stress levels
🔹 Increasing concentration
🔹 Enhancing creative functions
🔹 Mindfulness
.
One week from today, we'll be tapping into the power of being in nature to give your productivity a boost.
.

![🌲Why does Bill Gates spend two weeks alone in the forest each year?⛰
.
Bill Gates recently spent seven days at his hideaway cottage on a cedar forest waterfront, partaking in a twice-yearly ritual he calls his “Think Week.”
.
Gates, the principal founder and chairman of Microsoft Corporation, came up with the idea for his personal seven-day retreat as a way to ponder the future of technology and think of new ideas for his company.
.
Tucked away in his secret two-story cabin in the Pacific Northwest, Gates spends the week completely secluded from civilization - alone with his own thoughts and a pile of thought proposals.
.
The seven days tend to include a lot of reading, a lot of thinking, and a lot of alone time, as Gates is completely disconnected from family members, friends, and employees.
.
These weeks function as Gates’ way to think of new ideas, apart from distractions and noise.
.
While we can’t all take a week away from our lives to hide out in a secluded thinking cabin, the ritual that Gates has adopted tells us a lot about the necessity of slowing down and taking time for ourselves.
.
Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey, Arianna Huffington and Deepak Chopra all make a habit of unplugging from the hectic schedules of their day-to-day lives.
.
If some of the most successful and creative entrepreneurs in the world can make time to step away from their busy schedules, maybe it’s time to pay attention and include it in our own lives.
.
On Friday, June 7th, a small group of visionary leaders and entrepreneurs will be gathering on a mountain that overlooks the Columbia River Gorge.
.
We’re calling it the Take Action Retreat for Visionary Business Builders.
.
We’ve created this day-long reprieve for YOU to unplug from the distractions of everyday life and find your focus.
.
If the busiest people in the world can prioritize making time for themselves, why can’t you?
.
There are 6 spots left - is one of them yours?
.

Let’s hear it. How often do you unplug and look at the bigger picture?](https://scontent.cdninstagram.com/vp/2cf9056c2b89438f42f7322a40ab9e71/5E471E47/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/s640x640/59431660_1336894446451983_9194749100873062336_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent.cdninstagram.com)
