After 20 years of hosting experiences and live events, I know what it takes to bring your brand to life. Over many years of trial and error, I’ve found that getting started can sometimes always feel like the hardest part. 

In this episode, I'm letting you in on a few guidelines that are key to follow when taking the plunge to starting your first retreat. I follow this framework for each and every retreat I have, and it truly is the backbone of creating an event that comes full circle.

 

Highlights:

  • Outline your vision
  • Create your goals
  • Set a budget
  • Create your attendee onboarding strategy
  • Develop your marketing plan
  • Establish an event timeline
  • Deliver an amazing experience
  • Build your post-retreat marketing strategy
