How to WIN BIG in Business While Living a Balanced Life

Dear Fellow Business Owner,

If you're like most driven entrepreneurs, you dream of building not just a phenomenally successful business, but also a phenomenally successful life. You want the freedom to enjoy your family, the time to be truly present, and the ability to grow a legacy that thrives at home and in business.

But here's the truth...

When you're grinding to grow your business, freedom often gets pushed aside. Time with your family becomes limited. And no amount of business success can make up for failure at home.

We know. We’ve been there.

That’s why we’ve created something extraordinary just for you—a chance to pause, recharge, reconnect, and grow. 

We’ve put together a phenomenal agenda with an all-star lineup of coaches and speakers who are ready to help you:

Scale your business without sacrificing your family
Reignite your passion and vision as a leader
Refresh your mindset and master your focus
Build stronger family bonds through intentional connection

But this retreat isn’t just for you…

Bring the Whole Family!
We have a powerful program for your kids and teens—led by a team of trainers dedicated to helping them:

Build confidence and a healthy self-image

Learn how to form winning relationships

Set big goals and dream big for their future

And the fun? Oh, it’s happening. From sunshine and sandy beaches to structured growth sessions, you’ll walk away recharged, inspired, and ready. Let’s Make This Summer Phenomenal!

SWS/Ziglar Bicycle

with Dan Holland

In addition to having a Master’s Degree in Ministry, Dan serves as the CEO of Droplet International, AC Lockyer’s core business. He is a Certified Human Behavior Consultant (DISC), helping individuals and teams strengthen relationships and communication, and a Ziglar Coach Leader Coach.

Get ready for a dynamic, hands-on session where we’ll use a bicycle as a powerful metaphor for life and business. The front wheel represents the key areas of your soft washing business; the rear wheel reflects your personal life. When both wheels are aligned and balanced, your ride is smooth, and forward momentum is strong. But when one is out of sync or you have a low spot, everything feels like an uphill battle.

Together, we’ll identify your strong points, uncover the flat spots, and take actionable steps to build the ride of your life—personally and professionally.
