What is the Momentum Weekend Workshop?
My Goal is to Help You Reach Yours!
The Momentum Weekend Workshop has been expanded to be a FOUR-day event taking place Thursday – Sunday, October 15-18, 2026, (with an optional fifth-day, 6-person mastermind session on Monday, October 19), where a small group of dedicated, like-minded entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and creators come together in an intentionally 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.
Built on the pillars of inspiration, education, community and impact, presenters will share practical and tactical lessons and strategies we can learn and use in interactive workshops, and you will also discover how to apply them to your business and life. Explore how to differentiate yourself, create emotional connections and deeper relationships, establish trust, and deliver exceptional service that exceeds expectations.
Lou and other Momentum presenters and attendees will share not just their personal experiences in starting and growing a business, but challenges, lessons, and pitfalls to avoid, as well as real-world strategies, tactics, and personal guidance to use along the way.
And YOU will have the opportunity to SHARE what you do, know, and have expertise and experience in… whether on stage, or simply by chatting with other attendees. This is a solopreneur conference where you will get personal, goal-oriented guidance from both speakers and attendees.
But most importantly, this is not just a typical conference in which you watch presentations, take notes, and go home, hoping to figure out how to use what you heard. Instead, it is about APPLYING what you learn while you are at the event.

Not Your Typical Conference
Most conferences can be overwhelming
You are 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 after it ended. Momentum is intentionally intimate.
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 throughout each day where your unique questions, pain points, and needs are addressed in real-time by Lou and other attendees.
Limited to just 50 incredible entrepreneurs
The Weekend Workshop is a four-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 unique opportunity for real growth and results.
Not simply presentations.
Rather than sitting through hour after hour of presentations and slide shows (some of which might not even be applicable to you), Momentum will combine practical and tactical-based presentations with interactive workshops and collaborative conversations, as we all have meaningful experiences to share.

Why Momentum is Different
All weekend the focus is on YOU. You’ll not only learn what to do, but HOW to do it, and will receive on-site help from Lou and other speakers and attendees in order to make positive changes for yourself and your business right away.
While the weekend offers a wealth of information and priceless support via our presenters and workshop sessions, the optional Monday Mastermind event consists of a much deeper dive with a very small group.
It is an environment of not just learning, but collaboration. Lou, presenters, and other attendees are there to help you by sharing their real-world experiences in starting and growing a business, challenges, pitfalls to avoid, as well as real-world strategies, tactics, and personal guidance.
Keep Moving Forward” AFTER the event with lifetime access and ongoing support in our members-only community.
This two-day event includes workshops, presentations, exercises, and opportunities to work on your business and “move the needle” while you are in the room. You will not only learn, but share, network, and start making immediate changes that will positively impact your business.

More Testimonials From Past Attendees
Hear from past Momentum attendees and see what they are saying about Momentum
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 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.
Would You Like to Speak at Momentum in 2026?
I am looking for a small group of dynamic, engaging, and results-oriented presenters to host sessions and/or participate in panels for this year’s event.
By applying to speak, you commit to being able to deliver a focused, valuable, and results-oriented presentation and integrate an interactive workshop element designed to create real results and progress during the session. Sessions should be designed to help every attendee, no matter their business or experience level.
Attendees should walk away feeling educated and excited, having already started to put what they have learned into action.
Momentum works hard to ensure a diverse and inclusive line-up, and encourages both experienced presenters and first-time speakers who have valuable and actionable lessons to share to apply. This opportunity is both a great way to grow your network and gain valuable public speaking experience.
