Nearly one year ago, I had a fabulous conversation with Julie Zuzek from The Corporate Yogi about creating a brand and running yoga retreats. When Julie and I chatted last year, she had just launched her online platform for creating retreats, RetreatU.
A year later, RetreatU is growing a ton and Julie is back to share the 5 steps for planning a retreat. On this episode, we talk about being held back by fear and to develop more confidence before you begin. From there, Julie dives into the 5 steps to planning a retreat, including:
- Visioneering
- Validating
- Creating
- Marketing
- Selling
Are you feeling inspired yet?
I left this episode feeling inspired to launch my first retreat. Julie is full of knowledge and she shares openly how to get started launching your first retreat, leaving you feeling like you can confidently lead a successful retreat.
Enjoy!
