Design Your Dream Business in 2025
A 2-Day Virtual Retreat to Create a Sustainable, Profitable & Sacred Business You Love in the Year Ahead
December 6-7, 2024
An Internal Family Systems-Based Business Retreat to Craft Your Most Successful Year Yet
As a Sensitive, Soul-Oriented Female Business Owner:
You Have Big Dreams for Your Business & Life…
Let your True Self Guide You to Their Fulfillment in 2025
Over these two days, I’ll walk you through my proven, 5-part framework to create clarity and confidence around your 2025 vision and goals.
Within a supportive women's community, you'll extract the lessons from the year that has passed, while creating a clear plan of action to propel you forward.
This will empower you to lead from your wholeness so you can generate more abundance and ease in the year ahead.
You'll also gain the clarity, creativity, courage, and confidence needed to implement it.
RESERVE MY SPOTRather than creating more “top-down” goals that leave you feeling overwhelmed, burned out, and, ultimately “not enough” – you can chart a new course this coming year.
The secret is to align your inner & outer worlds to craft a version of success that brings you wholeness, harmony, and profitability.
Each day, you’ll take a new step in this framework, which is based on Internal Family Systems (IFS), women’s spirituality, and smart, soulful business strategy.
When woven together, these three modalities will help to root all parts of yourself (and all you create) in wholeness and the Sacred.
01
Internal Family Systems
Use this evidence-based psychotherapeutic model to get out of your own way and root into your wholeness.
02
Women's Spirituality
Within a sacred women's community, connect with the deepest, wisest part of you so your soul can share its gifts with the world.
03
Smart Business Strategy
Blend proven business strategies with innovative, forward-thinking approaches to bring more sustainability and profitability.
“Sara has managed to strike the perfect balance between hip, modern practicality, and ancient, wise woman wisdom.”
Kate Northrup; Bestselling Author & Entrepreneur
You’ll Walk Away from Design Your Dream Business with:
↪ A clear view of exactly what has–and hasn’t–worked well in your business over the past 12 months (so you know what to eliminate and amplify in the year ahead).
↪ A guided visioning process to identify the inner resources & obstacles connected with your vision for 2025, along with a plan for how to relate to them skillfully.
↪ Clear goals for your business, health, spirituality, lifestyle, and relationships in the year ahead– as well as a process to reverse engineer them, helping ensure their fulfillment.
↪ A powerful meeting of your “inner committee” to harness the inner support you need to root into your wholeness so you can work smarter, not harder, toward fulfilling your dreams this year.
↪ A personalized-to-you 12-month plan — a map of your income, marketing, sales, and creation strategies that are aligned with your values, so you know exactly what to do each month to cultivate success while allowing your business to be a conduit for the Sacred in the world.

“This was elegantly designed. Simple and powerful. Now I feel excited and hopeful instead of just scared and overwhelmed. Design Your Dream Business takes what feels like an overwhelming, impossible task and breaks it down into doable steps in a powerful process."
"Before joining Design Your Dream Business, I was struggling with feeling pulled in too many directions as I contemplated the next steps for my business. I felt I should pursue more and more trainings and certifications, which felt exhausting and daunting.
Recognizing that this is a part of me that doesn't need to be in charge of all my business decisions has opened up space for me to imagine how to let shine what I'm already good at, what I love and want to others.
You'll leave with a plan you can use and a deeper sense of what you're doing, what may get in the way, and how to set yourself up for success despite those obstacles. I highly recommend this! It’s great opportunity to get support with making your dream business a reality.”

INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS
The Foundation for Inner & Outer Freedom
IFS is a cutting-edge, evidence-based, psycho-spiritual therapeutic model and spiritual practice that helps us move from living a fear-led to an inspiration-led life.
Its core premise is that we have a multiplicity of personalities, or “parts,” within us and that all parts of us are fundamentally good.
IFS offers a clear, accessible path to heal those parts of yourself that can become extreme and overwhelm you– so that you can access more of your calm, wise center, or your Self, more often.
It's become so popular (and powerful) that people like Gabby Bernstein, Alanis Morissette, Gwyneth Paltrow, Dr. Lisa Rankin, Tim Ferriss, Elise Loehnen, Glennon Doyle, and Elizabeth Gilbert have openly shared how much it has helped them.
"I felt well nourished by the time and attention that went into the talks/process. I feel very well served and so grateful!"
— Shannon McCAll
Meet Your Guide
Hi! I’m Sara Avant Stover.
I want to show you it really is possible to deeply root into your wholeness, lead from your values, and be a force for good in the world.
All while maintaining and growing a business that flourishes, and a life that’s just right for you.
In the 20+ years of my entrepreneurial journey, I’ve written three books and grown two multiple six-figure businesses from the ground-up– while prioritizing my health, spiritual practice, and sensitive nervous system. Along the way, I became a Level 3 Certified Internal Family System practitioner and have stood firmly in my soul’s offerings. My work has uplifted the lives of tens of thousands of women around the world.
I’ve learned A LOT along the way and want to save you time, energy, and money through the wisdom I’ve gleaned from both my costly mistakes and soaring successes.
These are things you can’t learn in any book, online course, or YouTube video. It’s hard-earned knowledge that I’m thrilled to pass on to you.
May Design Your Dream Business guide you back to serving the world from your true Self, and deeper into all that you came here to be and do.

Entrepreneurs with a plan are 2X more likely to grow.
“Design Your Dream Business is WELL worth the money– Sara over-delivers for sure. if you want clarity, a plan, and not just another program you buy and never do, this is a winner."
"When I signed up for this, I felt very overwhelmed by tasks but unsure where/how to start and guide myself. I didn’t know how to focus on an actual plan for my business or how to design my life to achieve what I wanted.
I’ve done so many yearly reviews/yearly plans…and they've never really worked. This year, I really wanted to be in a community as i designed my year. I think that was one of the main reasons the other things had failed me in the past. I wanted accountability but also just company.
I love and trust Sara and her judgment, and I appreciated how this was bridging the inner and outer work– and outlining how important that is.
Now, I feel much clearer about my year, each quarter, and what I want to achieve. I have much less anxiety. I'm really glad I participated in this program and I would highly recommend it. It truly helped me both clarify my vision for 2024, but also to know how to continually refine it as I go...as opposed to designing something and then feeling like I've failed a month in. The inner work is so huge and allows for a continuation of parts dialogue to see the dream through."

Here's How Our Retreat Works:
Day 1 | December 6: 9 am PT- 11:30 am PT and 12:30 pm PT - 3 pm PT
Day 2 | December 7: 9 am PT- 11:30 am PT and 12:30 pm PT - 2 pm PT
Throughout both days, we'll have time for breaks, spotlight mentoring with Sara, and workshopping your plan.
No more feeling stuck or scattered. Over these 2 days, you’ll create:
Day 1
Part 1: Review & Define
In this first step of our 5-part framework, I’ll lead you through my favorite (simple but powerful!) way to review the past year, so you can see exactly what worked and what didn’t– as well as what lit you up and what burned you out.
From there, you’ll craft your unique definition of success over the next twelve months– personally and professionally.
Day 1
Part 2: Befriend Inner Obstacles & Resources
So often, we just focus on our outer vision of success, without having a clear understanding of the inner allies and obstacles we’ll meet on our path to fulfilling it.
Taking the time to skillfully work with these aspects of ourselves makes all the difference. It determines whether or not we stay stuck, or stride forward with more inner harmony and flow.
Day 1
Part 3: Clarify Your Goals
With the holistic foundation we’ve laid so far, I’ll guide you to clearly identify your goals for your business in the year ahead– as well as all the systems, structures, and skills you need to actualize them.
We’re going to get really precise here! Looking into income, sales, marketing, delivery, creation– as well as your inner parts associated with each of these areas of your business– will give your goals more depth and potency.
Day 2
Part 4: Meet Your Inner Committee
In each day of this series, we toggle back and forth between inner and outer. Because BOTH are needed for your full-spectrum success in the year ahead. So now it’s time to sit down with your “Inner Committee” to discuss your goals with them.
Through this guided process, you’ll create a visual representation of your own inner support structure that you can tap into again and again to help keep you on track as you move through the year.
Day 2
Part 5: Create Your 12-Month Sacred Success Map
It’s almost time to put your design into action! We’ll take your overarching vision, as well as your more specific goals, and overlay them onto each of the twelve months of the year.
Through reverse engineering, you’ll have a clear map of precisely what you need to do each month to help you triumph.
Plus, I’ll share some next steps if you want support in implementing this map in 2025.
“This is not your usual annual planning workshop. It's a bit of soul support too. I would definitely recommend this. It was comprehensive without being overwhelming."
“Before this, my method of planning was very numbers heavy, and now I see that I also want to explore meaning and purpose, as well as how to bring more joy into the way I engage with my work.
Anyone can do annual planning, but it's also important to remember why we do this. I love Sara's patience and steadiness. Her slow pacing was very reassuring to my parts– a contrast to how biz folks tend to show up.
I had sworn off grope programs until I saw Sara start talking about bring business and IFS together and I thought, ‘That's what I could really use!’ I loved how IFS could be integrated even into business planning.

“It's 10/10 effective, accessible, and offers a gentle, heart-centered approach to designing and planning for success."
"I joined Design Your Dream Business because I felt like I was lacking clarity and direction. This program made it easily accessible to do the work and lay a foundation for the year ahead. It also offered community and support directly from members of the program and Sara, which is always very much appreciated.
This program is eye-opening and gives amazing insights and direction, as long as you are fully invested in doing the work. It's not hard, and the rewards are incredible. It's one of the best bite-sized offerings I have participated in.
I was inspired by how well-developed the themes were and how each day had direct activities that correlated to what the teachings were. It was very nicely put together!"

“This workshop series gives you tools to implement for inner and outer work. It’s a worthy investment to help you get unstuck and move forward."
"Now, I’m more committed to taking the time to listen to my inner knowing to help guide me to what feels right. I'm also committed to creating a business that feels right for me and that can take care of my financial needs as well as help others.
I've also accepted that I will be fearful at times of letting myself, that this is a continued journey, and that is OK.
I really like Sara's nurturing approach. Sara and her programs have felt like a very important part of my journey toward wellness and entrepreneurship in the last few years. I feel she's a valuable person to have in your corner for this work.”

Join us, beautiful.
Taking dedicated time before the start of each year to review, clarify, vision, and plan has been a regular part of my life for the past two decades.
This process has helped me to write (and publish) three books; continue to design and grow a business that’s aligned with my values, sensitive nervous system, and soul’s purpose; and clearly identify the different obstacles and resources I need to relate to as I chart my path forward.
As I’ve worked with thousands of women over the past two decades, I’ve learned that they often experience a big gap between where they want to be in their business and their lives and where they actually are. This stems from an overemphasis on external actions and plans, without aligning those with effective tools for also cultivating inner success.
I created this 5-part retreat to guide you through the New Year’s visioning process I use, so you can not only cast a powerful vision for the year ahead but also make sure all parts of your inner and outer world are aligned with it.
As a result, you’ll work smarter, not harder, in the year ahead to experience blessings, synchronicities, and miracles that will allow you to be your best Self and do your best work.
I look forward to sharing this with you!
With love,
Sara
