Simplify to Scale in 2026

If you’ve been feeling like it’s harder to see what’s working or find clarity in a market that keeps changing, this retreat will help you find solid ground again.

In one focused day, we’ll bring your goals, offers, and strategy into alignment so you can move into 2026 with a plan that’s realistic, actionable, and built around how you want to work and grow.

Together, we’ll look at what’s working in the market right now and what’s not, connect that to your long-term vision, and define the most aligned path that gets you there.

By the end of the retreat, you’ll have:

• A 12-month roadmap that makes growth decisions simple and grounded in reality
• Clarity on which initiatives to focus on, pause, or lean out and eliminate
• A plan your team can confidently execute - and that keeps you focused on the right things as conditions shift

2026 is most definitely not about doing more, but it will take doing things different.

It’s about aligning every effort and investment with the outcomes that matter most so your business scales more simply and sustainably.

This retreat will show you how.

What Makes This Different

Many planning sessions keep you in brainstorm mode - you leave with great ideas but no clear steps forward.

Others get too into the weeds and have you map out a detailed plan for an entire year - based on the mistaken belief that you can predict exactly what you need to do 12 months from now (spoiler... you can't - not in this market!).

This retreat is different. Pulling from our proprietary Lean Strategic Planning™ framework, we develop your strategic roadmap for 2026 - giving you the clarity and direction you need balanced with the adaptability to keep things agile.

Together, we’ll define where your business is heading next, what it will take to get there given the realities of 2026, and how to translate that into a focused plan that your team can take action on and continuously adapt.

You’ll finish the day knowing exactly what to simplify, where to invest, and how to organize for a stronger 2026.

"Crista helped me see what the roadmap was and the things I could cut out. I now take Fridays off.  I stop work at 5pm.

I realized how much I don’t need to be doing. 

I also now have a team around me, so I can spend time in my zone of genius and not my zone of competence.”

"If you want to grow your business in a sustained systematic way, and not burn yourself out, we highly recommend Crista. We grew our revenue over 60%.”

"I had absolutely no idea how complicated I made my business, how I wasn’t using certain resources effectively, how much time I was spending on activities and things that really weren’t lending themselves well to my bottom line. 

I’ve had so many light bulb moments, it’s absolutely floored me." 

 "Crista helped me take all the noise in my business and distill it down, figure out my priorities, and chart out a strategy that enables me to focus on what's important." 

"We knew that there was a lot of growth ahead of us but we were having trouble getting there. If you want to save time, grow your team, build systems that work, and continue to work at a bigger level, that’s what you are going to get. 

We've already saved more than 10 hours a week, which is huge. That’s a day's worth of work so that I can focus on the things that I need to as the CEO of my company."
