XYPN PAUSE: Business Strategy Retreat

MEMBERS ONLY: Come work on your business rather than in your business!

XYPN PAUSE is your opportunity to literally pause and work on your business at the strategic level. Our 2019 program includes a business strategy retreat at XYPN headquarters in Bozeman, Montana, but it's so much more. In addition to the 3-day retreat in May, participants will benefit from a comprehensive strategy program that begins virtually in March and concludes in July.

We've partnered with Human Scale Business, a business strategy consulting group specializing in helping businesses evaluate, develop, and implement appropriate strategies. By the end of this program, you will:

Have a big-picture view of your business and goals
Use a systematic approach for discovering the resources you need to accomplish your goals and objectives
Explore the dynamic trade-offs inherent in various rates of business growth
Identify actionable next steps to implement your plans within your business

Your trip to Bozeman will include some down time in the great outdoors in addition to some quality time with founders Alan Moore and Michael Kitces, who will update you on the Network's current priorities and welcome your feedback. For more information about how you'll spend your time in Montana, please check out the XYPN PAUSE: Business Strategy Retreat schedule or DOWNLOAD the PAUSE Retreat Schedule

To qualify for this program, you must be a current XYPN member who is either on track to earn $125,000 of recurring revenue projected over the next 12 months or who is serving at least 50 client households. Because this program kicks off in March, the deadline to register is March 1, 2019.

There are just 30 available seats in the 2019 program, available on a first come, first served-basis to those who qualify. Registration for 2019 is now closed.

Where to Stay

Save on lodging by sharing a room. To find a roommate, add your name to the room share list.

Where to Play

On Tuesday, we'll enjoy dedicated networking time and lunch at MAP Brewing located across the water from Bozeman Beach. If the weather is nice, continue your conversations on the patio or take one of the trails to explore Bozeman Beach.
