Sold Out ≠ Profitable: Why Most Retreats Fail to Make Money
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. ✨ Ready to turn your retreat into a real, profitable business?
