Hi @Dan Harrison and all! I fully get it why you don’t recommend running in person retreats if your business still doesn’t bring 10k recurrent revenue. I recently started my business (coming from academic background) and my community here and I want the core of my business to be the retreats (I run a Relationship Design School after all and it is about experiential learning and immersion). I am investing my own money from my previous business and ready to take a risk. What would be one way to mitigate the risk of not enough people signing up? What paralel projects would you recommend running to raise funds for the retreats? Thank you!

And what is the price?

I've been struggling recently... maybe I'm not the only one... I have spent the last 2 years, and invested lots of money into figuring out how to make business work in my life. I started out coaching IT people to be healthier, then moved to dads, then started to focus more on family leadership and that was my focus through the last year. I've now moved on to more system/tech/AI/Automation stuff because that's the stuff I love doing... but I'm realizing there's a bit of a learning curve to some of the things I've been trying to learn, and after a discussion with my wife... I noticed that my mood has shifted some, I'm not as energetic, and I always talk about making "the business" work... and honestly I'm drained, haha. And I think she is too. There are two significant things that I need to work through in my personal life... and have been a main factor over the last 2 years on why I believe things have been hard for me: - I need to build a deeper relationship with God - need to gain control of my binge eating disorder I am avoiding them in an effort to get "the business" going... yet they are the things that if I KNEW I solved... "the business" would be doing exponentially better. My question for the community, because I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been there... What do I do? I still have my Dad Uprising community, so I feel like I need to stick there... drop everything else, and focus on my two big things that I mentioned above... but I also sort of just want to disappear until July (obviously let them know that) and then come back once I've done some deep deep work on myself in those two areas I talked about above. I value and appreciate your feedback 🙏
