In day 5, I share my thoughts on reaching the goal, samadhi, marketing methods and picking venues. 

Theres some really important considerations to get everything in balance and making this fun, profitable, sustainable and successful. Have a listen. 

In day 4 we start to tie the sales page together. The combination of all the work you've done so far comes together in a highly methodical presentation of your offer. 

We also lay out the schedule and I share some tips for writing a personal bio that is really about them and not about you. This makes it a compelling sales piece as well. 

Getting deeply connected to yourself will vastly improve your messaging. To do this well, you have to use video. I also cover the idea of an offer stack. This is a way to strive to create as much value in your customers lives as possible. 

In day we cover how to tell great stories. Clarifying your purpose and your unique message. 

I also cover dharmify, my method, for creating extreme clarity on your objectives. 

I ripped the audio from my Retreat Wizard Challenge which is my free online webinars. In these next 5 podcasts I share all my methods for planning yoga retreats.

Basically the answer is never cancel your retreat. The big mindset shift retreat leaders need to make is that they are building a lifelong business. Each retreat you do builds your future. When running the retreat you increase positive customers. You gather pictures. You gather video. You create testimonials. All the things you need for your future. If you cancel your retreat you miss out on all of these things. 

Most people think their retreat is a weekend or a week long  experience. But from the leaders perspective it should be thought of as a year long process of building positive momentum. If you cancel you halt all that momentum. Lastly its ok to lose money at first. Just as every other business doesn't expect to make money in the first year, give yourself some time to build your business which will serve you over your lifetime. 

Webinars to Keep your Community Together

Use my simple journal technique to approach an issue that you need to find a path of healing. 

Amrit Singh from Germany was a teacher of mine in India. We've reconnected and he's become a life coach. He's helping me develop a Casa Om continuity program. So if people make positive change on retreat, they can now have support to bring the retreat home. 

He is a great resource for all retreat leaders and will be helping me with all my retreats coming up. Because its a big mistake to take people to the "mountain" and not help them reintegrate when they get back home. 

Serving others will save you. Because if you have extreme clarity in who you are serving and why. You'll be unstoppable. Loss, failure, and setbacks are inevitable. But if you figure out who you're serving, you'll show up with so much more power.
