It’s all about the team…

I’ve been part of several teams in the past. None of them felt quite right. The culture was always off, not everyone was totally in it, or people were really hating having to go to work every day. It was corporate – what do you expect, right?!

At the beginning of October we had our very first ever Solamar Retreat. It was incredible. One of the best weekends of my life. For the first time ever, I flew the entire team into Birmingham and some of us met for the very first time – even though we have worked together for years. Crazy!

We spent the next two days getting to know each other more, figuring out how to tighten our bond as a team, collaborating on just about everything – and we even ate some really great food (the pic above is at my very favorite restaurant!).

It was one of the best business decisions I have ever made in my life. Yes, it costs a pretty penny to fly in and take care of 20+ people – but every single minute gave the company several more solid years.

We’re a team… supported by the best company culture ever. We support each other, we love the vision of Solamar – and we’re all in. It’s the best feeling ever.

I never thought I’d have a business quite like this. Solamar and the team have exceeded my expectations ten fold.  This company means even more to me now. I can feel the strength, the team is incredible – and I couldn’t ask for anything more.

We also created a music video while everyone was here. It was super fun and we all were able to be a little dorky. Check it out here:
