Every small business has an impact.
It impacts the lives of its clients, its suppliers, the community it operates in, the team members it employs, the Earth, and most of all, the business owner and her/his family.
Listening to Indigenous wisdom, our actions today impact the next seven generations.
Some people care about their positive impact more deeply. Calling business owners who want to increase the positive social and environmental impacts their businesses have. We are coming together to explore how our current impacts align with what we care about.
We are combining that with down-to-earth business planning to take the business to where the impact can reach even further.
We’ll start and end the days with movement, breathwork, deep sharing and connection. You will walk away with an inspiring business and marketing plan ready for implementation.
I have been driven for many years to work on businesses from a holistic perspective that combines logical intellect with intuitive feelings; that invites a spiritual connection as much as practical financial planning. I have always done that in little ways more or less successfully. In this retreat, we are gathering business owners who are on that pathway.
We are coming together to take off the masks we so often wear in business. As a leader of a small business, it can be lonely with no one entirely understanding the pressures and the excitement. We will connect with others who are walking this path, others who are inspired by the impact they are making and who are successful in their operations.
We will meet on a Sunday afternoon (around 5 pm) and stay together for five days (until Friday at 4 pm) in April 2023.
The days are guided by your own needs of what is most vital for you personally and in your business.
We expect participants to have four employees or more with a clear understanding of what positive impact you are working towards. Ideally, you bring one other essential person who is invested in the business outcomes (it could be an investor, your spouse or a key team member). By going through this process together, you’ll have much greater accountability to take action afterwards.
The exact dates and location will be confirmed, but we are aiming for April 2023 around Brisbane or on the Sunshine Coast.
Costs (including accommodation and all meals) will be $5,500 for an individual and $7,700 for two people from the same organisation.
About
Alexander Kohl is joined by six other facilitators to hold the space for this journey that we’ll go on together. Alexander has built a solar business that grew to 22 employees and a $15 Million turnover in 15 months. He has also founded a software development company, which has operated profitably for 11 years and is entirely run by its team (who now own the most significant portion of it).
The other facilitators have been working with small businesses and are experts in specific areas (such as social media, blog writing, video production, Google and Facebook ads, website conversions, sales, finances, building teams and delegation, systemising and automation). They bring a wealth of inner work experience (such as dance, movement meditation, breathwork, systemic constellation and other modalities).

The Program Topics
Here is a brief overview of what to expect.
Purpose VS Product
Sometimes the business' needs take us away from the original purpose of why we started a business. We will re-align what we want in life with what we offer. A clear alignment of both increases success today.
Grateful (for) Team
An inspired team is the most certain way to multiply any impact. It can also be the most complicated part of running a business. Gratitude both ways is a good indicator to understand what changes are useful.
Who Is Impacted?
Your clients are paying you, but maybe someone else is actually impacted (your employees?). We'll figure out exactly who you are working for and how to can increase the positive impact you'll have on them.
Figuring the Figures
The financials of a business can tell so much of a story. And they often highlight certain areas that, with a little attention, can lead to much better profitability. For most business owners this is a drag. We'll make it fun.
Inspiring Operations
Any business requires of us to do things that we don't enjoy. But they just need to be done. We'll look at systemising, automation and delegation to see what can hep to reduce the tedious and allow you to work in joy.
One page Plan
The most successful business plans are short. In many cases it was the answer to a single question well executed that had the biggest impact on my business. The one page plan will be a collection of actions to take away.
Your message
Clarity on your message is essential. Are you talking about the impact you are having, or do your clients actually care about something else? We'll fine-tune your message so that it can be shared easily.
Reaching Out
The more of the right people hear your message, the bigger the impact you'll make. You'll review the most useful mechanism to get your message across. This will be captured as a marketing plan for action.
Inviting Your Intuition
Our logical mind is an amazing tool for manifesting what we want. A lot of deeper knowing sits in the unconsious. Taking focused questions into meditative activitities often bring astonishing insights.
Blasting Energetic Blocks
Every business is impacted by the beliefs of its founder and managers. In successful businesses these beliefs are usually positive. However, there may also be limiting beliefs, stored as cell memories. We'll light them up.
Deep Connection on All Levels
We will connect on all levels: intellectual, physical, emotional and spiritual while inviting masculine and feminine energies. In this connection we create balance and positive experiences of who we truly are.
Relaxing Into What Serves Us
Running a business has often felt like I was carrying an energetic burden by holding its vision. Or it was a whirlwind of demands. To navigate that without burning out, we need strategies to relax into what really serves us.
