Momentum Weekend Workshop

It is with a sad and heavy heart that I must announce that my Momentum Weekend Workshop, a unique, intimate event created for entrepreneurs and originally scheduled for October 17 in Walt Disney World, is going to be postponed.

I use the word “postponed” very intentionally, as I have already been looking for a new date to hold the event.

But I need you to know that I have struggled with this decision since the word “Covid-19” came into our vernacular. I have held out hope, and have spent literally months trying to find a way to hold the event as originally planned.

It was tough enough having to cancel the Retreat this Summer, but I wanted to explore every option possible in order to have Momentum in an environment that would ensure absolute safety and security for everyone participating. I have even been talking to different resorts in terms of larger space to afford greater distancing, as well as other possible options (the details of which are unimportant at this time).

I had to make the unfortunate decision to postpone the event, and have been spending a great amount to time looking for a viable alternative. I have a number of different ideas I am currently exploring, but am not ready to announce and/or schedule at this moment. I chose to announce the postponement of Momentum at this time in order to afford those who already had tickets enough time to adjust plans, and refrain from making any travel arrangements.

Of course, I will be issuing a full refund to everyone who has a seat at this year’s event. While I WILL be offering another alternative (or a variety of alternatives) soon, I think that it is the only right thing to do. I hope that you will join me when Momentum returns (in possibly a few different ways) in person, as well as some of the other options I am considering.

Although we cannot be together in person in October, please remember that there is great opportunity to be made and had during these crazy times… it’s just a matter of finding, making, and taking them!

If there is some way that I can help you, please remember that I offer one-on-one coaching, and there is still one seat available for our weekly Mastermind group. You can learn more on the Coaching page.

For those who were planning on attending Momentum this year, I am sincerely sorry. It breaks my heart that we cannot celebrate the 5th year of this incredible weekend together… yet.

THANK YOU for being such good friends, amazing entrepreneurs, and community members. If there’s anything at all I can do for you, please let me know.

And yeah… find and choose the good. I know you already do.

Are you tired of attending conferences, leaving with pages of notes and great ideas but never taking action?
Do you feel like you’ve started to achieve some success and want to take things to the next level?
Are you looking for a new spark of excitement for your business and are looking to get motivated and build momentum again?
Do you often feel alone on your entrepreneurial journey?
Are you looking for a supportive community of like-minded people who understand what you’re talking about, doing, and going through?

If you answered “Yes!” to any of these questions, then MOMENTUM is just what you need! Read on!

What IS The Momentum Weekend Workshop?

NOT Your Typical Conference…

Most conferences can be overwhelming. You’re forced to choose which sessions to attend and which to skip. You leave worried about what you missed and then return home to realize months later that you didn’t even take much (if any) action.

Momentum is different. Because you’ll attend every session we offer, you won’t miss a thing. Additionally, we offer an interactive, hands-on environment (for the entire day) where your unique questions, pain points, and needs are addressed in real-time by Lou and his experts.

Limited to just 50 incredible entrepreneurs… The Weekend Workshop is a two-day event where a small group of dedicated, like-minded entrepreneurs come together in an intimate setting to learn, share, discuss, troubleshoot, and make REAL changes to their lives and businesses. Through collective brainstorming, sharing, education, accountability and ongoing support, there is opportunity for real growth and results.

Take Action BEFORE You Leave the Conference…

All weekend the focus is on YOU – You’ll not only learn what to do, but you’ll discover how to do it and can receive on-site help from speakers during our afternoon workshops in order to make positive changes to you and your business immediately!

Get Individual Help During Our Mastermind Day…

Limited to just 10 dedicated attendees… While Days 1 and 2 offer a wealth of information and priceless support via our presenters and workshop sessions, the optional Monday Mastermind event (limited to just 10 participants) consists of much deeper diving with a very small group. Unlike other 1-day mastermind groups, Momentum invites Lou’s trusted and experienced experts and professionals IN THE ROOM to assist you on-the-spot!

This weekend will be a positive turning point for you and your business!

Get Ongoing Support, Resources, and Community AFTER the Event…

“Keep Moving Forward” AFTER the event with lifetime access and ongoing support in our members-only community!

We Walk the Walk…

Every presenter at Momentum is an entrepreneur who has found great success doing what they love. They will teach you based on their vast experience, not theoretical knowledge. They have all literally “walked the walk.” Lou and the other speakers will share not just their personal experiences in starting and growing a business, but the challenges they continue to face along the way, lessons to learn and pitfalls to avoid, but also real-world strategies, tactics, and personal guidance.

How It Works:

Days 1 and 2: “One Little Spark” – Interactive Learning (Saturday and Sunday, 9am-6pm)

Our speakers are like-minded entrepreneurs who are there to help YOU, and bring their real-world experience and expertise in a series of informative, interactive and inspiring presentations and panel discussions. They have have “walked the walk” and will share proven strategies and actionable tactics in a small group setting.

This hands-on mastermind day affords you the opportunity to take action on what you learned.

Make on-the-spot changes and improvements to you, your business, brand and web site to help you get from where you are to where you want to be.

Together, we will review your website, your content and marketing strategies, and more.

Then, we’ll suggest and help you make the necessary adjustments and tweaks to create more effective systems that will improve your business. By utilizing the talents and resources of not just Lou, but fellow entrepreneurs, we can assist you on-the-spot with updates, changes, troubleshooting, and more!

AFTER the event, you’ll not only have access to our private, online community, but can take advantage of a follow-up group video call, and optional 30-minute 1:1 call with Lou!

“Momentum did so much for me!…”

Lou’s Mastermind exceeded my expectations. Plenty of people offer advice, but few come from the level of experience and success that Lou has. There aren’t many places where you can get personalized advice and input from someone who is a true leader and pioneer in the field (as well as a genuinely nice guy). It was an unexpected bonus that the other group members, who were all successful in their fields, brought unique experiences and angles for me to consider. If you are looking for a way to take your message to the next level, Lou’s mastermind group is the way to do it!

“I have what it takes to keep moving forward…”

I came to Orlando stuck behind a brick wall that I just couldn’t get past. I’d been beating my head against it since June, and I’d all but given up. The limitless encouragement and the wealth of great ideas from you, your speakers, and the new friends I made is priceless. The brick wall is shattered, and now I have what it takes to keep moving forward.

I loved the power and focus of the speakers. I felt that I was being treated as a professional amongst peers. I valued that I was in a group of entrepreneurs from all fields who could support and challenge.

I love that Lou brought together a group of passionate people who are interested in creating a business they are passionate about… and the encouragement and affirmation I got as an entrepreneur who is doing what it takes to create a business and life I love!

The networking that took place IN and OUTSIDE of the sessions. Often times conferences are one directional and often sessions, although sound cool, are irrelevant or the quality is low. This broke the rules by having small groups of very accessible and friendly people. It was really great talking in the halls with so many talented and driven people. But it also carried back into the sessions. I really enjoyed the ‘laid’ back style of the event. Although, everyone was professional, your sense of humor and understand was a really great factor in me enjoying it all Lou!

Going into the Momentum Workshop Weekend, I simply had that one desire: to learn how to monetize my podcast and make money doing the things I am passionate about. I was educated on how to turn my desires into a lucrative business venture, but that did not even graze the surface of what I took away from this experience. After Momentum, the motivation and passion I thought I had lost came rushing back. Thank you to Lou Mongello and the entire Momentum team for hosting this uplifting weekend and sparking within me the desire to always keep moving forward.
