On October 24, 2024, I hosted my very first strategic retreat to present an exciting new business partnership program: La Corne d’Abondance (The Cornucopia). This initiative was born out of a simple yet powerful idea: to redefine entrepreneurship in Quebec by embracing fresh perspectives and actionable solutions.
For too long, we’ve seen the same faces dominating the entrepreneurial scene. It’s time to shine a spotlight on new voices—professionals who are passionate about creating real impact and doing things differently.
The Challenge: A Sea of Quick Fixes
Over the past few years, we’ve all witnessed the rise of “get-rich-quick” digital schemes promising overnight success. While I fully recognize the transformative power of online tools, let’s be honest: there are no shortcuts. Building a successful, sustainable business takes more than flashy promises and superficial strategies.
True success is about working smart, not just hard. It’s about developing well-thought-out plans, leveraging expertise, and—most importantly—collaborating with others. That’s where La Corne d’Abondance comes in.
What Is La Corne d’Abondance?
La Corne d’Abondance is a business partnership program designed to bring together professionals with diverse expertise in areas such as business management, marketing, communication, and growth. This program aligns perfectly with the mission of Abundance Bureau, which focuses on empowering entrepreneurs with the tools and strategies they need to succeed.
Through this initiative, we aim to create a supportive network of experts who share the same values of collaboration, innovation, and authenticity.
What Does This Partnership Include?
1. Mastering L’Abondance Events
One of the core elements of this program is a series of exclusive events tailored for entrepreneurs. These gatherings are designed to facilitate networking, share valuable insights, and foster collaboration.
Each event revolves around a specific theme tied to the expertise of a La Corne d’Abondance member. The format is flexible and can include:
- Dinners: Intimate gatherings for meaningful conversations.
- Conferences: In-depth discussions on trending topics.
- Discussion Evenings: Open forums to share ideas and challenges.
- Retreats: Immersive experiences in inspiring settings.
All events are co-organized and co-hosted by the involved parties, ensuring a seamless blend of expertise and creativity.
2. Joint Service Offer
Another key component of La Corne d’Abondance is the creation of exclusive joint service offers. These offers are designed to combine the strengths of each partner, providing a complete solution for clients. From strategy to execution, we handle everything—offering end-to-end commercialization for businesses.
The First Retreat: A Day at Renne Chalet
The journey to launch La Corne d’Abondance began in June 2024 when I won a day at the beautiful Renne Chalet from @raliarentals. This company shares our core values of abundance, community, and connection, making it the ideal partner for this milestone event.
Surrounded by nature and like-minded professionals, the retreat provided the perfect environment to explore ideas, build relationships, and map out the future of this program. It was an inspiring experience that set the tone for what’s to come.
Looking Ahead: Collaboration and Growth
As we move forward, I’m thrilled to continue my partnership with Ania Ursulet, a marketing and communication strategist whose expertise has been invaluable in shaping this initiative. I’m also excited to announce a new collaboration with a CPA, which will further enhance the program’s offerings in financial management and planning.
Together, we’re committed to redefining what entrepreneurship looks like in Quebec. By prioritizing collaboration, innovation, and smart strategies, we’re paving the way for a more inclusive and impactful entrepreneurial ecosystem.
