Your presence is integral to the event. I hope you will be fully present for the entire retreat, which means arrival by 6 p.m., Tuesday, May 04, and departure no earlier than the morning of Friday, May 07.<\/li><li>Although you will have plenty of personal time, I hope you\u2019ll prepare for this immersive retreat by putting aside external business calls and distractions to the best of your ability.<\/li><li>We want to set a tone of respect, positivity, professionalism, and encouragement. All are welcome with an open mind and an open heart.<\/li><\/ul><p><strong>RETURN POLICY: Tickets are fully refundable up until 60 days before the event. One-half of the price will be refunded up to 30 days before the event. Ticket holders may transfer or sell their spot to another person as an option.<\/strong><\/p><h2>MONTHLY PAYMENT OPTION<\/h2><p>If you would like to make convenient monthly payments instead of a lump sum registration fee, please contact Mark Schaefer directly via email at\u00a0mark.schaefer@businessesGROW.com.
