Introducing The Amber Life Business Retreat
Are you looking for clarity in transforming your business, but not sure how?
Would you like to say goodbye to whatever is holding you back from your success and feel renewed confidence?
Do you feel that it’s time to make some changes?
You’re in the right place!
From my own 25 years of entrepreneurial experience and working with hundreds of women to propel their businesses to the next level, I understand what it takes to build a business you’re proud of, make profits, and importantly feel good along the way.
It’s not always easy, I hear you! We can go for long periods of time working in flow with clients we enjoy, and things are going great. Then out of nowhere, outside factors which we can not control have an impact. Sometimes, our confidence gets knocked, which has an impact on how we work, what we think of ourselves, and how we react to others. Thankfully, we can change that!
Over the years, I’ve changed careers, but from running a Recruitment Business and spotting potential in others, I worked with my strengths and changed my business plans accordingly.
I’ve also experienced different health issues from going through peri-menopause when I lost my confidence and had a whole host of other things to deal with! But from using NLP and other ways of time and energy management, I discovered different ways of working and changed my business model so I could successfully continue to coach and train through the 12 years of symptoms!
A few years ago, I moved to the Algarve, upgraded my lifestyle and built my business again in this beautiful place.
I believe it’s good to change things and go for your dreams, and I highly recommend it! What do you want to change?
Get a new perspective for growth.
The AmberLife Retreat takes place in the Algarve’s beautiful natural surroundings, giving you the space to work out what you want to do, and we’ll share how you can do it with a powerful mix of proven business-boosting and mindset strategies for your success and happiness.
This year we will be joined by Claire Linley, a talented change-making Therapist of 15 years who also uses NLP and EFT to help you find calm, peace and get over stumbling blocks, and break free.
Together we will empower you with easy-to-implement yet super-effective business and mindset tools and give you the opportunity to let go of things that are holding you back, so you leave the Retreat feeling more confident and happier again, ready for your next compelling chapter.
I want you to succeed in your business, be financially independent, and create a happy life. What do you want?
We will tailor the program for you and up to two business buddies you want to invite, or your team. Giving you the space and time to get clarity and direction, and discover new ways of thinking to enhance your professional and personal life.
If this resonates with you, let’s talk about your Private Retreat.
Hi, I’m Jo James!
The Amber Life Business Retreats are designed for Solopreneurs, small business owners, executives, and consultants wanting to make changes in their business and to relax, learn, and laugh together.
My clients usually DOUBLE (or treble) their revenue, and always talk of having renewed CONFIDENCE and CLARITY in HOW to build their business and achieve their personal goals.
During the retreat, I will focus on helping you create your mindset for success and identify your next steps for business growth. Or a total restructure to transform your business and lifestyle, if you so desire! We’re here to help you realise your dreams and goals, with more ease and enjoyment.
What do you want to achieve next?
Kate Darracott, Microbarbox
“I really loved the pace of the retreat, the leisurely mealtimes to the very focused sessions, all set in a stunning location. I now have a much clearer picture of how I’m going to take MicroBarBox to the next level and have a very detailed set of steps to get there.
I love your seemingly endless supply of energy Jo, and the way everything was organised and in place before we arrived.
An absolute joy to work with, a heady mix of business strategies and fun.”

Erika Harding, Comfort Zone Concepts & SPArty Algarve
“Working with my strengths, Jo helped me get organised, and prioritised how to get SPArty launched in Portugal.
I first met Jo when she was speaking at an International Women’s Day event in the Algarve, and knew she would be the right person to help me. I was in a bit of a slump and wanted that extra ‘you can do it’ push as I had a long list of things I wanted to get done to get my second business up and running.
I already had the logo, and had all my ideas but I was feeling overwhelmed with how to execute it and go forward with it.
During the first session, Jo gave me clarity and a clear plan of action.
Working with my strengths, she helped me get organised, and prioritised how to get SPArty launched.
It was a great experience working with Jo and I have recommended her to other business owners in the Algarve.
It was a great boost to my confidence and self-esteem too!
On top of her knowledge of building businesses and motivating people, Jo’s a good person and she executes with good intention.
Her follow-up is strong and she continues to care about me and my business success.”
Erika Harding, owner of Comfort Zone Concepts & SPArty Algarve.

Kay Daniels, Financial Troubleshooter.
“I was going through a major business overhaul and wanted time to get away, focus on my business, talk through some ideas and get clarity on my goals, which is why I booked the retreat.
It was a safe environment in which we could discuss everything, and I loved the ideas, help and support, the breakthrough moments and the laughter.
I’ve certainly got clarity and a plan to put everything into action now.
The food was absolutely fabulous.
Yoga sessions and walks on the beach were relaxing and were a real energy boost.
Working with Jo James was an uplifting, positive and fun experience.
Facilitated brilliantly, helping us stay on track when we drifted off our path!”
