About this Event
THE BUSINESS BREAKTHROUGH RETREAT
Lead the Business You Were Born to Build
What would become possible if you stepped away from the day to day demands of your business long enough to think about where you’re going, who you need to become, and what needs to change to get there?
Join Alan & Louisa Shimamoto for the 5th Annual Business Breakthrough Retreat, November 12 and 13, 2026, in Carlsbad, California.
For two days, you’ll step away from the distractions of running your business and create the space to think, reflect, learn, grow, and plan alongside other growth minded business owners and leaders.
This isn’t a typical conference where you sit in a room, take pages of notes, get inspired, and then return to business as usual.
The Business Breakthrough Retreat is intentionally limited to just 25 participants because some of the greatest breakthroughs happen through conversation. You’ll learn together, mastermind with other leaders, challenge your thinking, share experiences, and turn ideas into action.
SPECIAL REGISTRATION OFFER
Regular Registration: $997
For a limited time, the next 4 people to register can attend for just $397.
Once those four registrations are claimed, this special rate is gone.
WHAT WILL WE FOCUS ON?
Throughout the two days, we’ll explore the areas that can have the greatest impact on both you and your business:
Mindset • Leadership • Vision • Purpose • Strategy • People • Implementation
More importantly, you’ll have the opportunity to step away from the urgency of everyday business and wrestle with some of the questions we often don't give ourselves enough time to think about:
💡 Where do I really want to go over the next three years?
💡 Who do I need to become to get where I want to go?
💡 What is working well, and what needs to change?
💡 What is holding me or my business back from the next level?
💡 What do I need to STOP, START, and KEEP doing?
💡 How do I move from knowing what to do to consistently doing it?
And if you lead a team, we’ll challenge you to think beyond simply managing people and tasks:
How are you developing and equipping the people around you to become better leaders?
WHO IS THIS RETREAT FOR?
The Business Breakthrough Retreat is designed for business owners, entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders who want more than another set of tactics.
It's for people who are willing to step back and look honestly at themselves, their leadership, their people, and their business.
It's for leaders who want to grow.
Leaders who want to think bigger.
Leaders who recognize that getting their business to the next level may require them to grow to the next level first.
Whether you're trying to grow your business, strengthen your team, gain greater clarity about the future, rediscover your purpose, or simply get out of the day to day long enough to think strategically, this retreat is designed to give you the space to do it.
WHAT WILL YOU WALK AWAY WITH?
Our goal isn't for you to leave with another notebook filled with great ideas.
We want you to walk away with:
✨ Greater clarity about where you want to go
✨ Greater awareness of who you need to become to get there
✨ A clearer vision for your business and future
✨ Practical strategies you can begin implementing immediately
✨ A renewed connection to your purpose
✨ New perspectives from other business owners and leaders
✨ Meaningful relationships with people who understand the challenges of leadership and business ownership
✨ A practical plan for moving forward
Because your next breakthrough may not come from working harder.
It may come from stepping away long enough to see your business and yourself differently.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF BUSINESS RETREAT
One of the things that makes the Business Breakthrough Retreat different is the size.
We're intentionally limiting the retreat to 25 participants.
That creates an environment where you aren't simply another person sitting in an audience.
You'll have opportunities to participate, ask questions, share challenges, learn from other leaders, mastermind together, and build relationships.
We believe there is tremendous value in learning with and from one another.
This is about more than inspiration.
It's about moving from Inspiration → Implementation → Transformation.
