The Backstory
Meet Simon Sisters
As the Simon Sisters, we are an entity in and of ourselves.
Over the years, we’ve come to realize that we’re very good at “making the space”, both in the metaphorical and literal sense.
Our vision is to build a community that celebrates each person’s talents and imperfections, fosters a sense of love and belonging, and acknowledges that we are all on our own path of healing and growth.
We hope to achieve our vision by creating a safe, relaxing, and nurturing space where individuals and groups can connect with nature, cultivate authenticity, inspire creativity, and let their light shine.
Our dream is to own and operate a glamping venue where we can make all of this happen. At the moment, our plans are aspirational, but with each day we are chipping away at the project and climbing closer to our goal.
Enter MyGlampingPlan
MyGlampingPlan is an offshoot of Simon Sisters’ glamping venture. This project has been developed for small business owners much like ourselves. We know first hand that starting a business is no easy feat and having access to industry-specific resources can make all the difference.
The tools provided by MyGlampingPlan are tailor-made for the glamping industry. The templates provided are clean, straight-forward, and robust. No matter where you land on the tech-savviness spectrum, MyGlampingPlan will allow you to fast-track your way through the business planning phase.
The woman behind MyGlampingPlan, Gabrielle
I was tasked with spearheading the Simon Sisters venture. I attended local SBA workshops, spoke with realtors, attorneys, and loan advisors, and completed a 10-week business development course.
I have also been attending glamping-specific conventions and tradeshows, such as The Glamping Show USA and CampCalNow’s annual summit.
As you can imagine, the process has been time consuming and has often left me feeling burnt out. Oh, the irony - feeling burnt out before I’ve even started my business.
However, I’ve decided to focus on the positive. Even though I’m still working towards our Simon Sisters goal, I feel like l already have so much to share.
Of course, it’s all a work in progress, but I love the idea of using MyGlampingPlan as a platform to assist other glamping businesses on our concurrent start-up journeys. This is such a fun industry with so much creative potential. I invite you to dive in and explore it with me :)
