Who this is for

This is for you if...
  • You're booked but still feel like something isn't working
  • You've been meaning to fix your systems for six months
  • You want to be around people who actually get this industry

You're great at your craft. Your business is a different story.

You've built something real. Your clients love you, your work speaks for itself. But the backend is running you instead of the other way around — and you've been telling yourself you'll fix it when things slow down.

They haven't slowed down. And you know they won't.

The CEO Circle is for the wedding creative who is finally ready to stop winging it.

Hi, I’m Ashley!

I've been a wedding planner, a florist, and a business owner in this industry for 17 years. I know what it costs when the backend doesn't work — because I lived it. The CEO Circle is the thing I needed and couldn't find. So I built it.

Testimonial

"Ashley's CEO Self Retreat was exactly what my business needed! I was in a creative slump and didn't know what to focus on in my business. I was able to get my vision back, make concrete plans, and boost my confidence! And since the retreat, I've felt a renewed purpose and have even landed new ideal clients! 

Ashley chose a setting that was perfect for us to be able to get away & relax but also get A LOT of stuff done! Not only was being with the other ladies so much FUN, but it was also inspiring being around other business owners. Having uninterrupted dedicated time to focus on my business with others was invaluable. When I got stuck on something, I was able to chat with the other ladies and get unstuck. 

Ashley took the time to listen to each of us and help us make a plan to get to where we wanted to be. If you're on the fence about whether this is right for you, it's time to hop off that fence and invest in yourself and your business and attend the next retreat! You'll be SO glad you did!" - Christi Johnson Creative

"This is the thing I should have built a long time ago. I'm glad you're here for it."
