ITINERARY:
FRIDAY OCTOBER 4th:
Check in at 3:00 pm and enjoy a spa treatment on your own or swim in one of the 2 pools.
5:30 pm: Welcome Dinner, The Canal Club Restaurant at Resort
Opening Session, Friday night: 7:00 to 9:00 pm (Location at Hotel TBD)
Session 1: Who do you think you are calling yourself a writer?
-
“Who am I to write a book?”
“Why would anyone care what I have to say?”
“I’m no expert.”
These statements typically serve as the proverbial nail in the coffin of writing a book (right after “I have no idea what I’m doing,” "How do I organize this?” and “But I’m not a writer” close the lid.
During this session, Elizabeth will clarify exactly why you are the perfect person to write your book in such a way that you’ll never again question your why. You’ll only be asking, “How do I start!"

SATURDAY 10/5:
Breakfast 8:00 (Location at Hotel TBD)
9:00-11:00 am: Session 2: But…I’m scared it will be terrible
Oh, if only it were so easy! Don’t worry, you’ll quickly go from “Why?”
to “How do I start?” but an unanticipated player is about to make an appearance.
“What if it sucks?”
“What if no one reads it?”
“What if I make someone mad?”
The fears and limiting beliefs that keep you from writing your book piggyback beautifully onto the topic addressed in Session 1, which is why it’s critical to stare them in the face and make not only peace with them but see the fears and concerns as friends along for the ride. That’s precisely what Session 2 will take care of.
Noon to 3 pm (Schedule of your private hour-Long consultation with Liz about your book in the works. Your time will be given to you upon your retreat reservation.)
​
3:30-5:30 pm : Group Session 3: Stop Overthinking, Start Writing
“Vision without action is merely a dream.” —Joel A. Barker
Once you’ve admitted and analyzed the REAL reasons you haven’t started (or finished) your book, it’s time to take action!
In this session, Elizabeth will provide a series of proven exercises that will have you WRITING your book — not thinking about it, not promising to do it “one day,” actually writing it!
-
Free evening after group session. We will be making arrangements to leave the property to go to dinner in Scottsdale (at your own expense.)
