Top Myths About Hosting Retreats & Workshops

Podcast

back to blog home

I’ve been teasing for a little bit now and I’ve got something incredible coming your way on how you can create your own pretty and profitable retreat, workshop or live event.

From rooftops of Las Vegas casinos to planning luxury weddings right here in Nashville, I know what it takes to create outstanding events and I want to bust the top myths you might be believing.

 

Top Myths I Hear All The Time About Hosting Retreats & Live Events For Your Business:

  • No one wants live events right now because of Covid 
  • You need to be a girly girl and extraverted to host a retreat 
  • Retreats don’t make any money
  • You need to have a giant following and email list to be successful
  • You need to provide everything for all the guests 
  • Retreats need to be international and super extravagant 
  • You’ve got to have an incredible speaker lineup 
  • This is a huge time suck and I can’t manage it with my other business operations

 

Whew! I have heard these and so many more! The truth is…all of these are classic myths that are holding you back from impacting your clients and customers ((and your revenue!) in big ways.

The truth is, you CAN create beautiful events that are impactful, profitable, and don’t run you ragged. You just need the right guide and the right tools to put you on the path.

Now, I’ve got an incredible course coming soon called Invite & Delight where you will have all the resources you need to create a retreat your clients will be begging for. Stay tuned, it’s coming your way soon!

Get on the waitlist for it now.

First though, join me for this podcast episode where I break down each of these myths and share the real truth behind planning retreats and workshops for your brand.
