How to Make Money with Retreats

A retreat can sound like an absolute no-brainer for you to do as
a coach.


 


Taking your business on a fabulous vacation? Yes, please.


 


And they do have some fabulous pros.


 


You get to do intense hands-on work with clients, some of whom
will even become retreat regulars, which makes it easier to sell
out your retreats over time.


 


There’s group bonding and the magic of taking yourself and your
business out of your regular routine. New locations and new
people can revitalize you and your business, and your attendees
aren’t the only ones who will leave with new ideas and insights!


 


There are also some potentially steep upfront costs and other
downsides. Hotel rooms, meals, AV equipment, conference room
fees, your own travel–it adds up quickly.


 


And what happens if you don’t sell it out? A retreat for twenty
could turn into a retreat for two. Yikes.


 


Today we'll be taking a much closer look at hosting retreats, and
we'll unpack some of the pros and cons, some of which will
surprise you, and to close out we’ll give you a basic road map
for hosting your own. Because they can be so worth it.
