Shelby Mentored Mastermind Retreat

Imagine a weekend where you could get one-on-one help refocusing and clarifying your online business.

Friday, July 15 - Saturday, July 16, 2022

Shelby, North Carolina

Theme: Self-Made Blockade Breakthrough Weekend

There will be a meet and greet reception on Thursday, July 14th in the evening.

Why Attend?

Unlike other blog conferences or business events where you spend your days going to talks and feeling like you are drinking out of the information water-hose and come home feeling like you have a million new things to follow up on, this event was designed to be different.

This event is meant as a way for any blogger at any level to get away from everyday life demands and dedicate a weekend to working on your blog, getting focused education, personalized coaching, and networking with other bloggers. There are workshops at each event but they are simple, targeted, and actionable.

A behind-the-scenes look at our past events.

Meet Your Mentor

Our events aren't like other business events you've been to before.

We don't have "speakers" we have industry leaders ready to mentor you for a whole weekend from workshops, small groups, one-on-ones, and even evening meals.

FAQs

Is my ticket refundable?

Tickets are non-refundable but they are transferable. If you can't attend, you may sell your ticket to another person.

Will there be a virtual option?

Due to rising prices on gas and flights, there will be a virtual attendance option. Each ticket will have the option to be in person or virtual so if you plan to come in person and something changes, you can still participate in the event from home OR from a hotel in your local area.

If you attend virtually, I highly encourage you to consider getting away to a local Airbnb or hotel to have the experience of "getting away" from life's demands even if travel is out of the question.

When do I have to decide if I will attend virtually or in person?

Your ticket that you purchase has the option to be in person or virtual. I will need to know at least 7 days out from the event if you plan to be virtual. The hotel will cut off the group block rate around 30 days before the event but you are able to cancel your room usually within 24 hours of check-in.

What is the attendee portal?

The Mentored Retreat Attendee Portal is an online go-to spot for attendees to log in and access any workbooks, printables, & schedules during the event. It's also where replays of presentations and printable worksheets from the presentation will be stored for access during and after the event. After you purchase your ticket you will gain access to the portal through an email from Kim.

Will food be provided?

Each day there will be a large assortment of snacks and drinks provided in the conference room. The hotel provides FREE breakfast to hotel guests. Lunch and dinner will as a group.

Is there airport transportation?

Shelby, NC is about 35 minutes away from the airport. You'll need an UBER or LYFT.

Do we eat as a group?

With the small group nature of this event we will eat meals out together.

Where do we work?

Attendees will be working with Kim at her downtown Shelby office space.

What past attendee's are saying:

"This was my first time at one of Kim's retreats and it was a great experience! Having implementation time to work on our projects was so helpful. The best part of the retreat was the small group meetings with the co-mentors. It was great to get personal objective feedback on my work, as well as advice for making improvements. Definitely time & money well spent!"

- Tonia Kendrick, Solopreneur Diaries

Kim’s retreats are easily my favorite blogging events! I love the networking part of conferences but I never seem to get a lot done and work time at home is a struggle since I’m a busy mom but when I go Kim’s retreats it’s totally different!!

Not only am I able to learn, network with a group of people that “get it”, but I’m also able to get a lot of work done!

I have time to focus on the task I’m working on at the time and if I have a question or need to brainstorm I have a room full of amazing people, including Kim, to help me!

- Kara Fidd, Simplifying DIY Design

"This retreat was the most amazing time I've had in a long time! It was the perfect combination of fun, learning and hard work  Can't wait for the next one!"

- Joann Griffin, Thrive in Chaos
