Listen to an Audio Introduction: http://www.shoemoney.com/blogcast/eliteretreat.mp3

I am very excited to announce I will be one of the Facilitators at the Elite Retreat. This is a really new and personal small group conference. This is open to a very select group of people who maybe feel like they are on the verge of something big within there company but just need a little help to get over the edge. No matter what that is we should have you covered. We have assembled a team that can cover almost any area of business on the internet.

Application Process -
People who want to attend the elite retreat need to fill out a brief application of what they expect to get out of the conference. This helps us determine if for sure we can help you. It is not automatic that everyone will be approved for this retreat. If we feel we truely will not be able to help you then there is not use in wasting your time and money.

The Price - $4850 (includes meals check agenda for more info)
We had a really hard time coming up with a price. There are a lot of expenses with the hotel. I had no idea how expensive some of them were. The bottom line is when it came down to it was that we wanted to have an event where we can have a lot of quality time with EVERY person that attends yet at the same time cover expenses and if we are lucky turn a little profit. So we are only opening this up to 35 people. (I have been told 2 spots are already sold) so make that 33 now. Also we decided to not allow any form of sponsorship from companies. This was a pretty large impact as well to the final price decision but we did not want people to get taken away from the main goal. IMHO anyone who is approved through the application process (meaning we strongly feel we can help them achieve there goal they filled out in the application) should see a return on this small fee within 1-2 months.


Other facilitators for this event-
Jeremy "Shoemoney" Schoemaker - ppc, arbitrage, search engine marketing, but mostly the importance of self branding.
David Taylor - Blogging And Online Business Trends
Aaron Wall - The guy who wrote the book on SEO
I will be speaking focusing on a topics such as monetization, community building, and internet real estate.

The ratio of Facilitators to attendees will be a unheard of 1:6.

This is not a listen to the speakers then go home kind of deal. We want to get to know you and your business on a 1-1 level then formulate a “plan of attack” with you to help you and your business succeed. We also will have follow up calls with you to see if you have run into any obstacles and to check on over all progress.

Special Items Of Interest
~ We will formulate a “plan of attack” for you and your company and then follow up with you on your progress.
~ You will receive a ipod with tons of content from each of the facilitators.
~ You will also receive certificates good for coaching calls with facilitators.

You can see the full agenda posted here

What a great idea Lee.

I totally love the approach you guys are taking.

I hate going to conferences, paying good $$ to get there, and then being sold the whole time about their 'system' that I just have to have.

You guys are taking the right approach, share you successfull methods and ideas in a small group setting.

The networking that will be done is alone worth the cost.

Good luck guys!

There is a possibility of future events, but nothing certain or planned at this point.

Exactly, thus the reason the event is structured in this way. Maximum impact for serious webmasters.

This looks like a great event Lee. Wish I had the time and money to go myself. It's kind of funny though, just like with the dojo, it looks like it's going to be a lot of your online friends attending lol I wish my friends were willing to pay thousands to hang out with me!

I'd absolutely LOVE to be there, although my mom said I can't go anywhere out of the state without her...

I love to go with this girl, will see if I can scrape up enough money to attend, but I doubt it.

Seems like such a great idea, I shouldn't have invested the majority of my mom in this "other thing."

I'd love to meet all these people
