SO WHAT EXACTLY ARE RETREATS?

Retreats are a great way for both you and your guests to break out of your current routine.

Because retreats are held in-person, they may not seem like an online income stream. But the fact that you can host them outside of the state you’re licensed in, and people can travel to attend from all over the world, means that online marketing can be a great way to spread the message of your event.

The transformation that comes from a retreat stems from the fact that people are shaking off their burdens and opening themselves up to new possibilities. Simply by traveling to learn from or work with you.

Retreats can be as intricate or as relaxed as you want them to be and you can spring for luxurious resorts or downtown bungalows. The experience you cultivate is completely up to you.

Retreats can definitely feel like working vacations. So you are able to generate extra revenue and write off any expenses that may come with planning the event. Plus, they allow you to collect money from more than one person at a time.

BUT THAT MAY BRING UP A WHOLE OTHER SET OF FEELINGS…

 
 
 

I mean, you’re a therapist right?

Your calling is to serve. To hold the stories and shine the light - not to sling your wares…

BUT I’M CALLING THIS OUT.

Because, I bet you’re also feeling the weight of a 1:1 caseload. The burnout, the income ceiling, the impact limitations…

Online income can be the way through this.

The way to reach a much broader population of people who need you. A way to repurpose and repackage your clinical skills. And a way to move past trading dollars for hours.

 
 
 

Empathy and Success Are Not Mutually Exclusive

HERE’S WHY RETREATS WOULD BE GREAT FOR YOU

  • RETREATS ARE VACATION-LIKE - Whether you stay in your hometown or host in an exotic location, hosting a retreat is an escape from your regular therapy room.

  • RETREATS ARE EXPERIENTIAL - You and the people you host at your retreat get to participate in activities in real life and in real time.

  • RETREATS ARE A GROWTH CATALYST - Being dedicated enough to travel means your retreat guests are ready and motivated for change.

  • RETREATS ARE FULL OF FREEDOM - You do not need to stick to a rigid curriculum. Instead you can build in tons of free space and relax time.

  • RETREATS ARE NURTURING - Guests at your retreat likely needed to break away from their daily routine. You are providing them with a way to nurture a neglected part of themselves.

 THAT ALL SOUNDS AMAZING RIGHT? BUT BEFORE YOU JUMP IN, THERE ARE SOME PROS AND CONS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER:

 

–– The Pros

  • Online income offers a way to expand your impact and income without increasing your caseload

  • You also don’t need to expand to a group practice or move away from your current clients to fill a management role

  • You can use the clinical skills you’ve busted your butt to hone in a whole new, exciting way

  • You can move beyond the borders of your licensure by traveling more or serving clients/customers in other cities and countries.

 

–– The Cons

  • There can be a technological learning curve

  • Online income streams are a different type of business and demand you to be a different type of business owner

  • As a therapist, you’re likely used to being in the background. Online income requires you to be seen and heard in a new or different way.

 

Ok, you’ve given it some thought and online income still feels right - what’s next?

Now it’s time to arm yourself with knowledge.

By taking this quiz, you’ve demonstrated that you want to know more about what is possible as a therapeutic entrepreneur. You’ve learned some of the basics of offering a retreat and can probably imagine hosting one in Costa Rica or somewhere equally exotic.

But there are still some blanks to fill in like what you should charge and how many people you need to market to so you can start to see some steady money coming in.

PLUS, WHAT ABOUT THOSE OTHER OPTIONS YOU DIDN’T GET AS A RESULT OF THE QUIZ??

If you’re honest, there were a couple of questions where it was tough to choose the best answer…

It’s a good idea to do your due diligence with a bit more research so you can answer these questions and have the information you need to build your online income stream on a firm foundation.

 

But wait, who am I to offer this quiz and help you with an online income stream anyway?

 HI, I’M MARISSA.

when you learn from me…

You’re not just studying with a business strategist. And you’re not just bouncing ideas off of another therapist.

YOU’RE COMING ALONGSIDE SOMEONE WHO’S BOTH.

I really geek out combining my corporate finance and advertising experience with my softer therapy skills. And I’ve made it my mission to help fellow clinicians embrace their big ideas, turning their what if’s into how to’s.

Stick with me, and you’ll be able to call upon that voice inside you that’s wishing for more and transform it into a clear way to help others around the world while crafting a business that supports the lifestyle you dream of outside the therapy room.
