CREATE MOMENTUM ✦ BE IN THE MOMENT ✦
Step off the hamster wheel and into your full potential in 2026!
You're passionate about what you do – but it feels like passion is not enough.
You're driven, capable, and committed to making your vision a reality – but the daily grind of client work and juggling all the roles makes you feel stuck.
You know there's more to success than just hitting revenue goals – but you’re struggling to see the bigger picture of where your business, and your life, is heading.
You want to run a business on your own terms, that enriches your life – but it sometimes feels more like it runs you.
You're seeking alignment between your values and your work, clarity about your next steps, and the confidence to make conscious decisions about your future – but it feels daunting and too time-consuming.
You're tired of navigating this journey alone and crave – but don’t know where to find other rockstar entrepreneurs to have an authentic connection with.
You resonated with these?
Then MOMENTUM is your invitation to pause, reflect, and consciously design your next chapter.
Momentum is a carefully curated 2-day entrepreneurial retreat in Ticino, designed for people who want to build the next evolution of their business — without burning out, shrinking their ambition, or doing it alone.
-
Momentum is not a networking event. We only accept participants through an application process, so we get to know each one, ensure it’s a match, and tailor the experience to both group and individual needs. The group is intentionally composed — not based on industry, but on mindset.
The setting will be intimate with a maximum of 15 participants, and every detail is carefully designed to give you incredible value — starting before the event, and all the way to what you’ll carry home for 2026.
-
As entrepreneurs, we are often running through tasks for clients, marketing, admin… and seldom take a chance to work ON the business.
Amidst the end-of-the-year rush, in December, we want to offer you a space to slow down, recharge, reconnect, and give you a chance to tap into your creativity and passion.
-
On Day 1, we’ll dive deep into your year. Not only understanding what went well and what you’re proud of, we want to also find out why.
We’ll break down your 2025 to understand what actually drove your results (and what held you back). You’ll uncover patterns, blind spots, strengths, and decisions that shaped your path.
It can be pretty overwhelming to sit with ourselves for such deep reflection. Being in a guided group will help you stay in the moment and dive into yourself for answers.
-
We’ll focus Day 2 on daring to dream big and building a tailored roadmap to reach your vision next year. We’ll define aligned goals and the plans to reach them, and give you the tools to stay accountable well beyond the retreat.
The weekend will give you a unique opportunity for coaching, guided self-reflection, and tailored advice to keep building momentum in 2026.

❝ With so many things to navigate as a solopreneur, I am no longer getting distracted by what 'experts' insist you 'must' do. I can now evaluate what aligns with my objectives, which has often derailed progress in the past. ❞
❝ It felt so good to shamelessly dream about what I wanted and hoped for. ❞
❝ Small group, kindness, clear guidelines really helped the group dynamics. I had a great time, the place was perfect, people were willing to help. Thank you! ❞
❝ It was amazing to point out victories that I overlooked, and to strategize about the small steps I can take to move my company forward. ❞
❝ The connection with others was the biggest highlight for me. We all do very different businesses but we have so much in common. Sharing weaknesses and struggles brought things to perspective.❞
❝ It was great to connect in person, the activities, being all in the same boat, and feeling the support even afterwards remotely. ❞
❝ Fun activities, yet also great structure. There was lots of laughter and yet great connections professionally too. I really enjoyed it. Please do more! ❞
❝ Thank you – I learned a lot and it was super fun! ❞
❝ I started to see the journey with my consultancy as much more connected to my personal me than only as a professional project. This made it easier to be confident about it as a whole, but also for everyday tasks or talking to others about it. ❞
A heartfelt thank you to all our past participants, who not only helped us shape momentum to its best version, but also made this “wall of love” so wonderful with their words! ♥
