Sold Out ≠ Profitable: Why Most Retreats Fail to Make Money
Description
Welcome to a brand-new solo episode of How to Run Profitable Retreats with your host, Leni Cavazos—global retreat strategist and your go-to guide for building a profitable retreat business. ✨
In this episode, Leni gets real about a common trap retreat leaders fall into: chasing the sold-out status without building a retreat that actually makes money.
Here's what we're covering:
- Why 70% of retreat leaders walk away from their events with zero profit
- The difference between "sold-out" and sustainable
- Why most retreat hosts never run a second retreat—and how to make sure you're not one of them
- The mindset shift from "vacation planning" to business modeling
- How to reverse engineer your profit goals (whether you want to host 1 or 10 retreats a year!)
- How your pricing, location, and experience design affect long-term sustainability
If you've ever thought, "I just want to fill my retreat and change lives," this episode will lovingly challenge you to take a step back and reimagine your retreat as a business asset—not a financial drain. ✨
