The best time to learn how to create and host retreats in your business was yesterday. The next best time is today!
If we've learned anything from this post-pandemic era and mind-numbing digital/virtual space, everyone is over Zoom and online experiences.
Customers and clients today are craving real, in-person connection with their favorite products and brands.
The fact is, entrepreneurs who master the art of creating successful retreats and live events will be at an absolute advantage. I want to give YOU the shortcut.
If you're dreaming of creating a high-impact retreat that grows your credibility, increase revenue, and next-level brand loyalty...this program is for you!
THE TRUTH IS...
Most people who try to create retreats struggle to succeed.
HERE'S A FEW OF THE REASONS WHY MOST RETREATS AND LIVE EVENTS AREN'T "SUCCESSFUL"...
1.
You try to create a retreat by copying another retreat or conference you saw someone else do which leads to mismanaged expectations. You don't have the right foundation or strategy in place to make it a success.
2.
You waste all kinds of time and money on the wrong things --going over budget, leaving you with zero profitability, and feeling like all this effort and energy had little to no payoff.
3.
You underestimate the skill involved to delight from start to finish. As a result, you don't get any compelling testimonials, or you don't increase desire to continue working with you. (And...you probably even forgot about offering an upsell beyond the retreat because your to-do list was completely overwhelming).

3.
People underestimate the skill involved with delighting attendees from start to finish. As a result, attendees skip leaving you any kind of compelling testimonials, or no longer have a desire to continue working with you. (And...you probably even forgot about offering them something beyond the retreat anyway because your to-do list was completely overwhelming).
THE GOOD NEWS?
YOU CAN SET YOUR EVENT UP FOR SUCCESS FROM DAY ONE.
You can create a successful retreat experience without overwhelm -or- going over budget.
I HAVE THE WHOLE BLUEPRINT RIGHT HERE AND READY FOR YOU!

IF WE HAVEN't MET YET...
Hi, I'm Amber Housley,
Retreat and Live Event Expert
(YEs, it's true. I really do have a self-proclaimed retreat mba).
The fact is... I've attended, spoken at, or planned over 60+ retreats, conferences and workshops.
As an entrepreneur since 2007, I've experienced much in my time. I now gladly share how I built my multiple six to seven figure businesses on the foundations I learned at in-person retreats and educational experiences.
And after logging a lot of air miles and racking up all the fancy name badge lanyards as an attendee...
I've learned what does and doesn't work in the retreat and conference education space.
In the months leading up to some of the events I would attend, I'd be lost and confused with buyers remorse because the organizer failed to share any details to help us prepare.
Other times, I'd leave feeling overwhelmed with a longer to-do list than I arrived with. Or worse than that — disappointed and regretful of the money I spent. (Not to mention what I was missing back home with my family and young kids).
So I set out to create something different for the customers in my own coaching business and for other product and service-based businesses along the way.
Building upon my decades of event planning — everything from corporate events on glittering rooftop casinos in Las Vegas to luxury Southern wedding soirees that graced many a magazine page — I developed my own transformational retreats that delight attendees every step of the way.
To date, I have hosted over 500+ women in the last 12 years at 24 different experiences. Word spread like wildflowers about our unique combination of content and creativity alongside an up-leveled attendee (and speaker) experience that Brit+Co named my Inspired Retreat one of the best conferences for women.
I've designed and executed large scale conferences and events for both me and my premium clients that have led to multiple six-figure revenue sales.
Now it's your turn...
Are you ready to make an impact and create next-level transformation for your customers through live retreat event experiences?
Meet me on the front porch to learn how to
stop retreat dreaming and
start retreat doing. 🙌🏼
