who will be helping you with business & mindset transformation?
YES.
What is this madness?
It’s true. This is the first transformational Adventure Retreat for business owners of its type, which is why it may seem hard to totally picture it in your beautiful, creative mind. Let me help you see how this Adventure Business Retreat is EXACTLY what you need to get that pep-in-you-business-step and the forward momentum you have been YEARNING for in your sales.
At The Retreat, there will be 3 outcomes:
connecting to your creativity superpower,
releasing bullshit keeping you stuck,
and creating a 6-month strategy plan.
These outcomes are part of the process that has helped my private business coaching clients:
Go BEYOND $100,000 in their business
Go from 1 elopement booking to being fully booked for the season in 3 months.
Scale their pricing over 7x’s than what they came to me charging.
Here are the 3 ways ‘The Retreat’ will help give you that increase in sales you have been desperately searching for (without having to learn any weird pushy sales tactics).
1. Connecting Back to Your Creativity at The Retreat Will Increase Your Sales in Your Elopement Photography & Creative Service Business
The best sales and selling skills come from an internal point of view, not an external one. They come when you feel good about your service and are offering your skills to people who need them. This comes from an internal space, not an external influence like learning the coolest closing tactics (that feel gross to actually do).
As a business coach for elopement photographers & creative solopreneurs, helping them feel good about sales to make more money is some of my most fa-vor-ite thingssss.
It’s one of my magical sauces that help my clients book well, well over $5,000 elopement packages, even triple or quadruple industry standard pricing.
When coaching my private 1:1 business coaching clients on this, it usually ends up with a bunch of mind-blown facial expressions and that ‘ah-ha’ moment. There is a lot of mindset trash around sales, selling, and asking for a lot of money for your art.
When you’re fully connected to your own creativity, which is one of your superpowers, you will feel inspired again in your business. When you’re inspired and feeling good, your potential clients and leads can feel that too. It will be felt in the way you put out new content in your marketing, it will be felt in the way you are speaking to your leads in the sales process, and it will help boost your confidence in asking for the sale.
Being a transformational, intuitive business coach, I coach on how your energy impacts every part of your business. So having this new, recharged, inspired energy absolutely is felt by your leads and potential clients.
At The Iceland Adventure Business Retreat, you will be moved through inspiring and powerful exercises with the group to really connect back to your creativity so you no longer feel stuck in sales or attracting better leads.
2. Releasing Thoughts Looping in Your Mind at The Retreat Will Increase Your Sales in Your Elopement Photography & Creative Service Business
This is kindaaaaaaaaa a no-brainer, perhaps, as ‘mindset’ is now a common subject spoken about in the business world (and thank goodness, because mindset is everything). However, how it’s NOT a no-brainer is that many elopement photographers and creatives have these self-fulfilling, false narratives they tell themselves looping in their minds ALL DAY LONG that they don’t realize are holding them back in the number of ways they are.
These thoughts loop both consciously and subconsciously.
These thoughts create behaviors rooted in lack which block flow and ease in your business, how you interact in your marketing, with your booked clients’ experience with you, and in your sales.
As a business coach for elopement photographers & creative solopreneurs, this is some of the most important work I do with my clients. Just strategy doesn't work if your thoughts deep down are all of the reasons you aren't worthy enough in the first place.
One of my private 1:1 business coaching clients came to me with the belief that making more money in their business will be hard and they need to do more and work a lot harder if they want to achieve their 6-figure goals. Because #hustle. And, that their inherent worth was tied to the amount of productivity they had.
Sound familiar?
When we worked through releasing this false belief, they realized that making money was actually not hard but fun and easy when they put their efforts into money-making tasks that feel good. They let go of the idea of creating the busy work they were filling their weekly schedule with in order to attempt to just ‘be doing more’.
Releasing these intrusive, false thoughts is much more than just ‘thinking positive’ and ignoring not-so-great-feeling emotions (aka toxic positivity), it comes from intentional awareness and pinpointing the behavior and results of the behavior which you will be doing at The Retreat in a dynamic way. Once you feel the lightness of releasing these narratives and thoughts that are not helping you step into the future you want, you will be able to install new behaviors and thoughts that WILL.
At the Retreat, we will be recognizing and releasing what thoughts you are lopping in that are holding you back and then releasing them freeing up your energy and space for what you truly want to call in such as thoughts around selling, getting leads, and making more money in your business.
3. Getting Business Clarity by Creating Your 6-Month Strategy Map at The Retreat Will Increase Your Sales in Your Elopement Photography & Creative Service Business
Does it feel like you’ve just been throwing spaghetti at a wall to see what sticks as your main ‘business strategy’ lately? Does it seem like it’s not really working because your leads are not exactly rolling in and your sales are not rockin’? Throwing spaghetti at the wall is not the best strategy out there and usually doesn’t work very well, unless you get a nice stroke of luck.
instead, What if you could create an intentional 6-month strategy map for your business around the goals you want to hit with the assistance of a Master Coach by your side?
Because that will be happening at The Retreat.
If you want to really see big results with your business you have to have clarity within your business and a map to follow based on your specific goals. All businesses are different, all business owners are different, and there is literally no one-size-fits-all strategy that works for everyone. At the Retreat, you will be able to work on what you want out of your business.
By doing this, your sales will increase when you get home because you will be intentionally creating money moves in your business such as getting consistent leads, pulling more people into your sales process, and booking more.
For photographers, the largest influx of leads comes in the months following The Iceland Business Retreat.
So imagine if you had a plan BEFORE that to implement and take full advantage of what’s coming your way?
No need to spend the next 6-months being in the same place you are right now reading this.
When you have a map to follow you will feel more clear and confident in your business which will reflect in everything you do. Join us in July at The Iceland Adventure Business Retreat and increase your sales, your confidence, and your creativity.
