In this transformative episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats, I sit down with James Yates to explore the evolving landscape of the retreat industry. James dives into how the industry has shifted from simply booking venues to creating structured, outcome-driven retreat programs—and why it's time to approach retreats as a full-fledged business. 🚀

Together, we discuss:

• Defining Outcomes & Delivering Value: How to design retreats that solve specific problems and provide true transformation, rather than just a "nice" getaway. 🎯

• Pricing, Profitability, & Mindset: The importance of pricing based on the value you deliver, and understanding your market to avoid undervaluing your offerings. 💰

• Building Awareness & Engagement: Strategies for nurturing relationships and guiding potential participants through awareness, acceptance, and action. 📈

• Integrating Experiences & Fostering Community: Why ongoing support and a strong community are key to extending the retreat experience beyond the event itself. 🤝
