A few years ago, Joanna and I stood in the middle of a snow-covered forest in Promised Land, Pennsylvania.
The trees were bare, our boots sank into the ice, and we had just taken possession of a patch of land that would eventually become Ferncrest.
There were no tents, no guests, no blueprint… just our vision for what this place could become and a lot of hard questions.
We didn’t know exactly how it would come together, but we knew one thing: if we waited for perfect conditions, it would never happen.
That winter was when Ferncrest was truly born. Not in spring when the grass came back… but months prior when we started planning, ordering, and building.
Before the noise of the holidays
Before the bookings would come pouring in
And even before the new year even began
The same thing goes for anyone looking to start something in 2026… your success next year starts now.
It was experiences like these building our glampground that motivated me to write this newsletter: to share our trials and tribulations so you don’t have to figure all of this out on your own.
And that’s also why I host so many free online trainings. Over the last week, we’ve hosted five webinars as part of The Dome Tent Event—and today is the sixth and final one.
In a few hours, at 12 PM ET, I’m going LIVE for an event called:
“The Big Finish: Stories, Surprises & Closing Out the Dome Tent Event”
During this event I’ll share stories about how others took their first step and how you can use this moment to launch into your 2026 vision.
And… there will be giveaways throughout the session, including a FREE cold plunge one lucky attendee will win. You have to be there to win.
👉 Join us Live at 12 PM ET (Add to calendar and get access link here)
Don’t wait for January to make your move. The next chapter starts now.
Happy Glamping,
Brian
