1
00:00:02.460 --> 00:00:21.119
The nOMad Collective: Welcome, everybody. Welcome to the nomad collective, and this is your nomad path to bring vision to venue within 30 days. So my name is Phoebe Leona. I'm the founder of the Nomad collective if we haven't already met. Welcome, welcome! I'm so happy that you're here.

2
00:00:21.180 --> 00:00:36.569
The nOMad Collective: and yes, I am serious when I say in 30 days, not to bring the retreat to the venue literally, but to launch from making that moment of your vision to the venue when you launch it out into the world

3
00:00:36.570 --> 00:01:00.479
The nOMad Collective: is what we're doing here now, so that you can do this within 30 days you'll have everything that you need in order to execute that. And then you know that once you signed up and you started this journey, you know, when you're going to actually be hosting your next retreat, and we'll talk a little bit about your specific timeline in a little bit. But today, what we're looking at is

4
00:01:00.480 --> 00:01:17.580
The nOMad Collective: we're going to be looking at your the steps, the milestones that are involved in getting you to vision to venue. We'll also look at the timeline, and you'll get to decide which timeline you will be on, or at least kind of have a general idea of what timeline you're going to be on.

5
00:01:17.710 --> 00:01:38.720
The nOMad Collective: and we're also going to do a little bit of navigation through the program, just so that you have everything that you need to set up. This is just orientation day, my friends. So yes, so welcome again. What we're going to look at today is your path. And I make this so that it's your path. So it's not just the path, because

6
00:01:38.720 --> 00:02:01.959
The nOMad Collective: yes, all of the steps and the milestones are the same. But your path, in terms of your timeline is going to look a little different. And we're going to talk about that in just a little bit. But let's look at what we're going to be doing during this time on your journey. So your milestone one is. First, st we're just creating the vision. You might already have that vision in mind. You might already have an idea of how many people you want where it's going to be.

7
00:02:01.960 --> 00:02:26.730
The nOMad Collective: But we're going to just refine that a little bit more, so that you make sure that your vision is aligned with the venue that you want to host it in, and then we'll talk a little bit about in that 1st milestone, finding and securing that venue, and how to sign a contract that feels good for you and your nervous system for the people that you're calling in and in your bank account and all of that. So we're going to talk about that in my

8
00:02:26.730 --> 00:02:36.699
The nOMad Collective: milestone, one which is coming up next milestone 2 is we're looking at budgeting and really, truly pricing it for profit, for from a place of abundance.

9
00:02:36.700 --> 00:02:40.110
The nOMad Collective: So we'll look at all the expenses that you need

10
00:02:40.110 --> 00:03:04.829
The nOMad Collective: to create your vision. How much you want to make, how much you're going to pay. If you're bringing in guest facilitator, an assistant or a co-leader, we'll talk about the differences of that, and then we'll look at your early bird specials and affiliates, and all of that in the milestone, too, so that you feel really clear, very confident on what your numbers are, because that's so important. This is where I see

11
00:03:04.830 --> 00:03:28.089
The nOMad Collective: a lot of retreat leaders kind of wobbling as they start to launch it out into the world. So we're going to anchor you in in those numbers. So once you launch it out into the world, you are very, very clear and confident, asking for them. Milestone 3 is registration system and onboarding. So this is when we're going to take a little bit of time and look at your business as a whole and make sure you have a point of

12
00:03:28.090 --> 00:03:52.169
The nOMad Collective: sales system, a pos set up. You have your automated emails, a sort of a Crm system. If you don't already have your website making sure all of that, the foundation is already laid down, and then we're going to utilize them to set up your actual retreat and then getting an onboarding system set up. So making sure you have the automated emails, you have a welcome packet. You have

13
00:03:52.170 --> 00:04:21.270
The nOMad Collective: a questionnaire all of the things that your participants are going to need in order for them to feel excited and grounded and safe, and and be able to take the steps on booking their flights and planning their trip. So we'll talk about that in milestone 3 milestone 4 is your marketing strategy and execution of that marketing strategy. So this is another place that I see a lot of retreat leaders, especially new retreat leaders. Actually, I

14
00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:45.229
The nOMad Collective: seasoned retreat leaders, too, get a little bit sticky and frustrated and wobbly around, too, because they don't necessarily want to put themselves out there. They just want to have the retreat filled. But you have to show up for your business. You have to show up for your retreat. You have to show up for your ideal client, so we're going to take you through a 5 day, challenge an authentic marketing challenge

15
00:04:45.230 --> 00:04:59.339
The nOMad Collective: to not just tell you this is where again, it's your path not to just to tell you what has worked for me and assume that it's going to work for you, but really find your true authentic marketing strategy that

16
00:04:59.600 --> 00:05:02.279
The nOMad Collective: turning a light onto things that you might didn't

17
00:05:02.460 --> 00:05:15.020
The nOMad Collective: even know that you were doing that was quote unquote marketing so that you can really feel like you're in your power when you start to share your retreat, and also the the whole well-being of your business

18
00:05:15.020 --> 00:05:32.869
The nOMad Collective: and inviting people in. So that's Milestone 4, and then milestone 5 is, we're looking at your sales systems, setting up your calls and securing, and how to secure those spots. So we're going to look through making sure again that your pos system is set up. But we're really going to talk about the

19
00:05:32.880 --> 00:05:51.960
The nOMad Collective: the actions that you're taking. This is, you know, how are you connecting with people your warm clients? Or your warm leads that you already have, that are in your ecosystem, how to reach out to cold leads? And then how to really make those warm and cold leads into

20
00:05:52.460 --> 00:06:16.509
The nOMad Collective: truly somebody who's excited and ready to purchase. And we're going to talk about the in between of having those sales calls getting a script together, so that you know exactly the questions that you're going to ask exactly the things that you're looking for, and information that you need to tell them in order for them to sign that contract and get ready. All right. So that's Milestone 5. And then milestone 6 is we're going to look at how

21
00:06:16.510 --> 00:06:39.460
The nOMad Collective: how to prepare for the retreat and holding the actual space of the retreat. So we'll look at any final last minute details like making sure that the flight information is already or got the shuttles. If you have, you know, doing airport transportation, you're doing shuttles from there, you know, getting the gifts, making sure all the contracts are in that you need.

22
00:06:39.460 --> 00:07:04.190
The nOMad Collective: making sure all the vendors are all ready to go, making sure all those little details are ready, the logistical ones, but also making sure you're ready energetically, and you're getting your group ready energetically for this period of time that you're going to hold space for that transformation to occur so that you feel grounded. You feel clear, you feel confident, and you're empowered to help facilitate that transformation for

23
00:07:04.190 --> 00:07:29.129
The nOMad Collective: for the people that you're guiding through. So that's Milestone 6. And then milestone 7 is on the other side of the retreat right? A lot of times we come home, and we're like, Oh, my gosh! And we there's a little bit of an energetic dip down. But there's also like this, beautiful like. Oh, my God! I'm so excited I can't wait to do this again, and we're going to look at how to integrate all of that, the little bit of grief that you might find

24
00:07:29.130 --> 00:07:49.750
The nOMad Collective: the excitement that you have, the high that you have, and and how to integrate it, and make sure that you know what's coming next for yourself, for your group, making sure that they have the tools that they need to integrate back into the quote unquote real world, and and just looking at how to look at your numbers and your analytics and everything like that. So you know how to set

25
00:07:50.100 --> 00:08:04.489
The nOMad Collective: the tone for, and the foundation for the next retreat that is about to happen after that. So those are our milestones, and what I want to talk about now is your timeline right? So we looked at the each step.

26
00:08:04.630 --> 00:08:24.400
The nOMad Collective: And what we're here to do like, I said, is, we want to see this vision to venue launch in 30 days. So if you're on that trajectory which I highly recommend so that you can keep that momentum going is we're gonna look at those milestones, one through 4 within one month.

27
00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:49.390
The nOMad Collective: So week one is that 1st step of creating the vision, finding and securing the venue and signing the contract week 2 is budgeting and pricing that for profit, because you already know the venue. You know exactly the numbers right? And then you know exactly what your vision is, and you can start to gather all of your expenses and know that for week, 2 right week 3 is we're going to look at that registration system again, making sure

28
00:08:49.390 --> 00:09:11.929
The nOMad Collective: your sales page is up and ready. You're ready to go because you have all the details that you need, and then week 4. We're going to look at your marketing strategy so that you know how to map out the rest of your timeline so that you are just a well oiled machine with your marketing and your sales, so we'll get that going. And then milestone 4 and 5. This is phase 2.

29
00:09:11.930 --> 00:09:24.020
The nOMad Collective: This is really where you're going to depart in terms of a different timeline than maybe, say, somebody who's doing this alongside of you. So I highly recommend that taking these months

30
00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:46.370
The nOMad Collective: really into strong consideration. And I'm going to talk more about this when we get closer. But right now, as you're planting the seed, and you're thinking about your vision. I want you to think about your what's realistic for you. And it might be a little bit longer than what I'm suggesting here after I tell you this so again, for you to

31
00:09:46.370 --> 00:10:09.099
The nOMad Collective: execute and launch your retreat. We want to get it sold out right. We want you to hit the goals. So this isn't just for you in terms of the logistics, but it's also so that you have a long runway to actually sell out your retreat. So if you're having a local retreat. So when I say local retreat, that means that you have a local community

32
00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:36.320
The nOMad Collective: that is near where you live, and maybe they're going along for the journey. And you just want to host like something that maybe is like a little bit of a stretch for them right like, maybe it's like, just an hour away drive. And they're going to stay the night there right? And it's going to be a beautiful, beautiful place for them to just, you know. Take a pause from their daily life, get away for the weekend and unplug, and be with you, and have that transformation and then be able to come home. So

33
00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:48.500
The nOMad Collective: the reason why we have 3 to 6 months, and I'll explain why 3 or 6 months, so you can decide for yourself is, if you have. If you have a very easy like.

34
00:10:48.560 --> 00:10:49.500
The nOMad Collective: you know

35
00:10:49.510 --> 00:11:14.409
The nOMad Collective: situation with the retreat center that you don't need to book out, you know, some retreat centers. You need to book out a really long period of time. But maybe it's just a really, you know, destined place where it's like, Oh, we actually have an opening within those those 3 months. And here you have this weekend free, right? And you have the audience. You have the the group of people that you're working with every week or every month, and they're just like

36
00:11:14.410 --> 00:11:19.810
The nOMad Collective: dying for you to go, host a retreat. Then I would say that timeline of 3 months

37
00:11:19.980 --> 00:11:36.689
The nOMad Collective: would be would be sufficient, and especially if you've hosted retreats before, and you know how to handle all the logistics that would be great. Now, the reason why I say 6 months is, you might need a little bit more time to book that that retreat space.

38
00:11:36.690 --> 00:12:01.030
The nOMad Collective: and some of you might be using Airbnbs, and we'll talk about the difference between Airbnb and what to think about with that versus a retreat center as we go, but you might need to book that property out. It might be popular that you have to book it out for at least 6 months. Right? That might be one of the reasons. But then, also looking at your audience, and you're still nurturing them and building it and growing.

39
00:12:01.030 --> 00:12:24.119
The nOMad Collective: You might need a little bit more time to to build that relationship with them. So that's why, week 4, when we start to look at the marketing strategy, we'll look at. Okay, what are the next 4 or 5 months look like to get you to sell out that retreat? So that's why you might want to have the 6 month market for a local retreat for domestic retreat.

40
00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:29.079
The nOMad Collective: We say 6 to 9 months now. Domestic retreat, I'm saying, like it's

41
00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:52.220
The nOMad Collective: it's stateside. If you're in the United States, and it's not just a car. Ride away. That's like a, you know, a couple of hours at the most. But you actually have to like plan it so that you're you know. Maybe it's a long drive. Maybe it's you have to take a flight right for you and your group. So there's a bit more planning, logistical planning for your yourself and for your audience.

42
00:12:52.487 --> 00:13:14.929
The nOMad Collective: And they need that time right? They need that time to book the flight, or they might need that time to arrange it with their family. So that's why we want to give a little bit more of a runway for yourself and for your your following and again goes to the other. You know. Same thing that I said without retreat centers. You might just need a little bit more time to book it out if they tend to have, you know.

43
00:13:15.580 --> 00:13:33.269
The nOMad Collective: an abundant amount of people booking and and then also like on the 9 month side. It gives you just a little bit more time to nurture your your following and get them ready to commit, and taking that leap, and and being able to go on that journey with you.

44
00:13:33.270 --> 00:13:50.370
The nOMad Collective: So that is for what I'll call a domestic retreat, which is probably about more than 3 h away, I would say, from your home base, if it is your local community, and it's also potential for bringing in outside people from your local community, too, right because they're all going to be flying

45
00:13:50.370 --> 00:13:52.790
The nOMad Collective: now. An international retreat.

46
00:13:53.210 --> 00:14:01.009
The nOMad Collective: International retreat is I like to say 9 to 9 months to 12 months plus.

47
00:14:01.350 --> 00:14:10.319
The nOMad Collective: And this is for a couple of reasons, international retreat. And you can probably already figure out why the couple of reasons. But an international retreat like

48
00:14:10.730 --> 00:14:32.759
The nOMad Collective: even if it's, you know, just like down to Mexico, you're in the state side, and you're going down to Mexico. That might that might fall into the domestic retreat, or if you're going to the Caribbean right, they might kind of fall into that domestic retreat place. But if we're talking about like an international retreat where you know, your people might need to update their passports.

49
00:14:33.019 --> 00:14:41.569
The nOMad Collective: They're going to have to, you know. Really, it's going to be a longer period of time, right? Because international retreats, you're traveling further. So you're going to give them a longer retreat.

50
00:14:41.570 --> 00:15:07.459
The nOMad Collective: probably like 6 months to 10 days somewhere around there. So it's going to take your people a lot more time to plan ahead for it. The passports, the flights, the arranging their work, schedule, their family schedule, all of that. And then also it might take a little bit more time for you, too, with getting all the logistics set up with with the property that you're you're working with

51
00:15:07.460 --> 00:15:28.249
The nOMad Collective: and international retreat properties. They do tend to book out about a year in advance. So it's not that it takes longer to do all the logistics. It's just that they're they're usually booked out. I mean, they'll once in a while they'll have like some openings like if something falls through or something like that. They might have it within your year years time.

52
00:15:28.250 --> 00:15:45.000
The nOMad Collective: but it usually is about a year out. So that is why we have the 9 to 12 plus months, and again, the longer your runway for marketing the better, and we'll talk about why, as we go along with the pricing and the marketing strategies.

53
00:15:45.000 --> 00:16:02.889
The nOMad Collective: So that's phase 2 milestones, 4 and 5, and then we have phase 3, which is milestones 6 and 7. So remember that is the actual execution of your retreat, and then the post retreat. So that's going to take, however long it is for you and your retreat. If it's a weekend, or if it's 10 days

54
00:16:03.164 --> 00:16:27.285
The nOMad Collective: that's how long it's gonna take. And then on the other side of it, there's gonna be a little bit of integration time which you know I usually say to to have everything wrapped up within the the 2 weeks after. So you have your integration calls, you have. You've looked at your numbers. You've been able to debrief with your team and some reflecting so that you it's all fresh, right. You don't want it to be like 2 months away. But so it's all fresh and

55
00:16:27.850 --> 00:16:38.099
The nOMad Collective: you're able to look at everything and then plan for the future. So that is that I'm gonna stop to share my screen.

56
00:16:39.050 --> 00:16:53.079
The nOMad Collective: Okay? And I want to talk a little bit about what else is going to be inside. Oh, yes, actually, I'm gonna start to share my screen again, because I wanted to share this with you.

57
00:16:53.980 --> 00:16:54.810
The nOMad Collective: Okay.

58
00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:07.939
The nOMad Collective: here we are again, so I'll just share with you, and then I'll show it to you, because, as I'm recording this, it is

59
00:17:07.940 --> 00:17:31.940
The nOMad Collective: still in a work in progress, so it's not as pretty as I would like it to be, but by the time you see this it will be beautiful. So what's in your what? We're calling your guidebook right inside of that the portal for you. So we'll have video tutorials. So each milestone is going to have a short video like this where it's going to take you through. What are we going to learn during this period of time

60
00:17:31.940 --> 00:17:47.100
The nOMad Collective: what are some challenges usually come up during this? This milestone. And then what are the action steps that you need to take as well as the resources that you're going to. You're going to need. So that video is going to take you through the entire process of that milestone.

61
00:17:47.100 --> 00:18:06.529
The nOMad Collective: and then underneath it, or within that module, you'll have all the resources that you need, that I refer to any templates, template emails, templates. You know, landing pages, spreadsheets, links, anything you need. It will be right there for you. And then we also have a milestone checklist

62
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:28.880
The nOMad Collective: and your accountability task. So every everything like I said, every milestone will have action steps. And at the end of those action steps there will be an accountability post that we're going to ask you to do inside of our community. So that's outside of the program. It's inside the membership portal, the community where you've hopefully have introduced yourself.

63
00:18:29.080 --> 00:18:51.789
The nOMad Collective: and you will go in there. There's different categories for you to report on what it is in that milestone that you are letting us know that it is complete, that you need to look at that we need to look at it and give you the thumbs up, or the green light, or any feedback there and then, also, just to celebrate you celebrate your win. So each milestone is going to have

64
00:18:51.790 --> 00:19:16.770
The nOMad Collective: some sort of accountability checklist to that, too. We'll also have inside of your guidebook a video vault of past sessions with other guides that have been walking this path already, and me, you know, kind of coaching them through through that, so that you can sit. And if we're if we're not able to come to the live calls that we do every week you can go back and look at these around the specific topic

65
00:19:16.770 --> 00:19:33.390
The nOMad Collective: that are in that milestone and get a greater sense of, you know, answering, maybe there's some questions there that you that you have, and somebody already asked them, and you get to have a long in depth. Response for me there. So you can watch those video vault past sessions.

66
00:19:33.390 --> 00:19:58.920
The nOMad Collective: And then we also have rituals to support your transformation. So this is going to be outside of the program. It's also another program that's sitting side by side. And I will do that. Throughout throughout this program, too, there might be other things that aren't inside of this little program that I'm going to refer you to like the reinitiation, the rituals to support your transformation. I will be

67
00:19:58.950 --> 00:20:22.520
The nOMad Collective: giving you some suggestions. So if you need some mindset money mindset support, you can go there. It's going to help you with the energetics of like all the little bumps in the road that come up for each milestone there usually is. We're using that the somatic work and meditations and journaling and things like that to support you through those bumps in the road so that you can get back on track really quick.

68
00:20:22.560 --> 00:20:37.839
The nOMad Collective: So those are also there for you as well. Okay, now I will stop share again. And I'm gonna find the other thing that I want to show you. So you have an under understanding

69
00:20:38.210 --> 00:20:40.220
The nOMad Collective: of our checklist.

70
00:20:40.410 --> 00:20:41.390
The nOMad Collective: So

71
00:20:45.040 --> 00:20:46.989
The nOMad Collective: okay, here it is.

72
00:20:47.160 --> 00:21:04.029
The nOMad Collective: So this might look a little tiny, different by the time you get it, because it again still a work in progress. But we have the nomad Path dashboard. And I'm really excited about this. I will be fully transparent. This is a dashboard that came through a program that I'm doing right now.

73
00:21:04.100 --> 00:21:33.499
The nOMad Collective: and I was like so in love with it. There's something so you know, like I love checking things off the list like literally like. I like to physically check things off the list, but this was just as good. Because, let me show you so. This is going to have for each of the modules, each of the different milestones. I should say it has the list of things to do that. I'll go over with you on that 1st video. But then all you're going to do once you complete it

74
00:21:33.540 --> 00:21:38.810
The nOMad Collective: is you're gonna go down and you're gonna click complete. And then you might see here

75
00:21:38.960 --> 00:21:43.169
The nOMad Collective: this curriculum Progress bar is. Gonna show you

The nOMad Collective: how much you've done. Oh, it's so exciting! You'll be so excited to see that green. So that's there for you, and we'll have some other resources in this spreadsheet to work. And there's a little bit of a dashboard. I'm not going to show that one, too, just because it's still in a work in progress. But all of those templates that we're going to give you will be there as well. So everything's in one place, or at least the link to it is in one place

The nOMad Collective: and as well as the portal. Right? So you don't have to go, which modules that it'll just be in that spreadsheet as well, so everything will be there for you, and that checklist will be there for you. You'll get to see that green bar go across. It'll be so much fun, and then you'll get to see that you're launching your retreat within 30 days.
