It has always been crucial for entrepreneurs and business leaders to stay ahead of the curve by getting access to the latest industry trends, insights, and innovative ideas, more so now that the business landscape has become even more competitive.
While this can be done through training and continuous study, business coach Adam Stott and business partner Liam Ryan, take learning to the next level by hosting their Dream Team Retreat in Thailand last March. The Retreat was designed to help business people have access to fresh and unique learning opportunities, new business practices, industry trends, and cultural perspectives.
With Adam Stott and Liam Ryan, the Dream Team Retreat broadened each entrepreneur's thinking. It challenged their assumptions about conducting business, leading to new insights and innovative ideas.

With a team of experienced coaches and industry experts, BBE has the proven expertise to help businesses of all sizes achieve their growth, profitability, and overall business goals.
Conducted training with fellow business expert Liam Ryan
The highly anticipated Dream Team Retreat is a one-of-a-kind training designed to help businesses maximise their potential. According to Stott, the 28 talented entrepreneurs from various industries were treated to a week-long program at Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort, Thailand. The event included various activities and exercises, daily masterminding sessions, and one-on-one and group support that all aimed to amplify results in their businesses, networks, and even their personal lives.
Highly successful mentors supported the retreat and pushed participants to greater heights. Co-host Liam Ryan is one of the expert business coaches and co-founder of Assets For Life, the UK's leading property training provider. Ryan mentors new and existing property entrepreneurs through his world-class training and property portfolio strategies, tools, and resources.
Partnering with Stott, both coaches conducted high-level business training that surely made the Dream Team Retreat a unique learning experience for all participants.
Five days of excellent business training
Stott shared that the Dream Team Retreat's highlight was the daily masterminding sessions, which allowed the attendees to discuss their businesses and receive feedback from their peers. He explained, "These sessions also gave participants a chance to learn from other mentees' businesses, gaining valuable insights into different industries and approaches." Participants were given a full list of actions and plans at the end of their mastermind sessions, ensuring they had clear steps to push their businesses forward.
Stott shared that for each day, the Dream Retreat Team prepared different types of activities but with one goal of empowering the mentees’ minds to achieve and live success. On day one, the program started by helping clients eliminate their limiting beliefs by delving deeply into what has been holding them back. By exploring the depth of their fears and self-doubt, the retreat provided a step-by-step approach to eliminating these negative beliefs. The day culminated with a powerful symbolic act of breaking a board, which signifies the clients' newfound empowerment as business owners and property investors.
Stott shares, “Many clients reported that just this first day of the program has been transformative and will have a lasting impact on their lives.”
Moving forward, the second day builds on the critical elements of success. With new beliefs and a different frame of reference, clients create a move-by-move action plan that enables them to see how they will arrive at their long-term definition of success.
For day three, the retreat took on the outdoors to continue their learning journey. The day was spent on the beautiful islands of Thailand taking in tranquil environments whilst building relationships and conducting business. Concluding at an exclusive tree-top destination while overlooking the sunset, mentees were able to build partnerships, and change lives.
On the fourth day, the program began with a meditation session to help all participants enter a creative and relaxed state of mind. Following this, an ice bath challenge was undertaken that refreshed and revitalised the Dream Team family. The program then moves on to exploring communication, marketing, and client acquisition strategies where the participants are shown new and innovative ways to acquire a large number of clients at a low cost and the latest changes in the field of marketing.
On the last day, the team met for a beachside meal and worked on finalising the action plan for their success. It has also been an opportunity to overcome any stubborn limiting beliefs achieved through an arrow bending exercise where clients broke arrows on their necks to put themselves in a peak state. “This exercise aimed to empower the clients to go back to their businesses and their lives with renewed vigour and make a positive difference,” Stott mentioned.
To honour the participants' dedication to making their businesses grow, Stott shared that they were granted the opportunity to have a full-day group mastermind session approximately six months after the retreat. "We honestly can't describe how incredible the retreat has been. It was a life-changing experience for the attendees' business, their personal and even spiritual lives," Stott shared.
Enjoying the Dream Team's company
Stott highlighted that the Dream Team Retreat was not just about insightful learnings and business strategies, it also included fun activities over food and drinks. The five-day retreat provided attendees with a variety of culinary experiences, including a daily fruit breakfast and lunch at the retreat venue.
In addition, participants also enjoyed a special offsite evening dinner and drinks, allowing them to network and connect with other business professionals in a relaxed environment.
These social events were an essential aspect of the retreat, providing an opportunity for participants to build relationships with other mentees and mentors, and share insights outside of formal training sessions.
Stott stated, "This was really a very special experience where breakthrough moments happen. We were able to build clarity and conviction going forward so that businesses can achieve some amazing results."
The Dream Team Retreat was a comprehensive training experience that gave attendees practical skills and knowledge to apply to their businesses. With Stott and Ryan, attendees were rewarded with a life-changing transformation that will positively impact their businesses for years to come.
