			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1519" title="" src="http://www.brendarivas.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/woman_holding_cash.jpg" alt="" width="342" height="312" />Do you want to create quick yet lucrative cash flow while helping your clients transform very quickly? If so, a VIP Retreat offer is perfect! First let me explain what a VIP Retreat is and what it&#8217;s not. </p>
<p>A VIP Retreat is concentrated time with a client on a specific topic that solves one problem and one problem only.  It&#8217;s typically one day of coaching/consulting  (five to seven hours) followed by one to two follow up sessions.  A VIP Retreat is not a long term offering nor is it designed to work through many different topics or problems.  It&#8217;s the time and space to solve one challenge that your ideal client is currently facing.</p>
<p><strong>The Benefits of VIP Day Retreats</strong><br />
One of the biggest benefits of the VIP Retreat is that they are lucrative for the coach/consultant and builds momentum and forward movement for the client.  The coach chooses a strategic problem to solve then creates an opportunity to serve which leads to quick cash flow. The client receives everything they need to solve a particular problem so they can move forward quickly. </p>
<p>Another really great benefit of a VIP Retreat is an increase of confidence.  See ,when you design a VIP Retreat with strategic steps and outcomes and deliver the VIP Day Retreat over and over again you build your confidence around the outcome.  This happens mainly because you are delivering the same content repeatedly. This means that you have the opportunity to continuously refine your content, thus building your confidence around the results that you help your clients create.   </p>
<p>In addition, offering a VIP Retreat is a fabulous way to gain expert status.  Again, because you strategically design your VIP retreat with a specific outcome you start to create positioning around this solution.  Organically, what happens is that you get known for that particular transformation.  Referrals also start to become another consistent income stream in your business!</p>
<p><strong>How VIP Retreats Are Delivered</strong><br />
The really awesome thing about VIP Retreats is that they can be delivered in multiple formats.  You can offer them as  in person events.  I love live VIP retreats because obviously there is nothing more effective than live interaction with your clients.  By offering a live VIP retreat you get to up level the experience. Meaning you can enhance the day by creating a lovely environment for you and the client.  For my live VIP retreats, I typically select a hotel by the water and order gourmet lunches and snacks for both my client and myself. We  complete the day with a spa service.  Live VIP Retreats also allow you to increase your fee for the day because of the face to face interaction.  A live day also requires you as the coach/consultant to &#8220;be on&#8221; for the entire day and your fee must take that into consideration.  Then there is the virtual VIP Retreat which is very popular because travel is not required. The investment also tends to be a bit lower because the coach/consultant has very little expenses associated with the delivery of the day.  All you need to deliver a virtual VIP Retreat is a phone line, a recording service and an Internet connection.  You can also use <a href="www.skype.com" target="_blank">Skype </a>video to meet with your client which can be a lot of fun.   You can also create group and live VIP Retreats as well!</p>
<p><strong>How to Integrate them Into Your Business </strong><br />
VIP Retreats are easy to design especially if you have a <em><strong>Signature Style System</strong></em> that you can pull content from.  You simply decide what the outcome will be and then design your day in a step by step format allowing for breaks and assignments to be worked on during the day. Keeping in mind that you will experience maximum results by creating a VIP Retreat that solves an urgent challenge that your ideal client may be facing.</p>
<p>In essence, VIP Retreats are amazing for all parties involved.  They create wonderful results in a short period of time for both the coach/consultant and the client!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1100" title="" src="http://www.brendarivas.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/sad-woman.bmp" alt="" />Have you created an amazing program, yet have felt disenchanted with the results? If you have, you are not alone!  This is actually a pretty common &#8220;pain&#8221; for many entrepreneurs.  A lot of time is spent creating the &#8220;perfect&#8221;, brilliant program but there are no takers.  Then typically what happens is that we become very discouraged and go back to hiding out.  New income is not created and the cycle of self doubt and pity is started once again. </p>
<p>While this is all painful, believe me I know (been there done that myself)&#8230;.there is a simple solution to this problem. </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong><span style="color: #008000;">Strategy</span>: Using well designed and highly targeted surveys.</strong></span></p>
<p>Yes, using surveys is a simple, yet highly effective strategy to make sure that you are getting infront of the audience that will say yes to your offer. Here is a four step process to help you create a great survey.</p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Step#1~Pre-Survey Research</strong></span><br />
Before you start to formulate the questions that you would like answers to, I highly encourage you to get clear about who is the ideal client for your new product/program or service.</p>
<p><em><strong>Consider the following:</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>Who are they?</li>
<li>Where are they hiding out&#8230;both online and offline?</li>
<li>Do they have a history of investing in offerings similar to yours?</li>
<li>What are their &#8220;pain points&#8221;.</li>
<li>How urgently are they looking for a solution the problem at hand?</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Step #2-Survey Design</strong></span><br />
Your choice of words and the aesthetics of the survey can potentially have a direct effect on the results your survey creates.  You want to make sure that your survey does not create confusion and is easy to navigate as well as appealing to your survey takers.</p>
<p><em><strong>Consider the following:</strong></em><br />
Now that you have identified the best audience for your survey.  What do you really want to know?  Keep your questions simple and if you are providing a drop down menu of possible responses, don&#8217;t provide too many options.  I always like to say, &#8220;first thought, best thought&#8221;.  Also, if at all possible, start the questions on your survey with:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Who, What, Where, When, Why &amp; How</em></li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Step #3~Survey Execution</strong></span><br />
Now that you have done the pre-survey research and know what information you really want to know, it&#8217;s time to put the survey out there.  Here are some practical tips to help you get as many responses as possbile:</p>
<ul>
<li>Send the survey to your email list and offer a free &#8220;gift&#8221; in exhange for taking the survey.  Keep it simple, you can offer an audio or short report.</li>
<li>Ask your <a href="http://www.brendarivas.com/virtual-coffee-secrets-teleclass" target="_blank">Virtual Coffee </a>partners to help you spread the word.  The key to getting others to support you is to make it easy for them. Send them the pre-written &#8220;copy that you would like them to use.</li>
<li>Use social media such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn as well as forums and niche groups.  I love to use a link tracking service like <a href="http://www.budurl.com">www.budurl.com</a> so I can track where the survey responses are coming from.</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Step #4~Analyzing The Results</strong></span><br />
The key to analyzing the results of your survey is to first have enough responses! What I recommend is prior to sending the survey out take the time to get clear on how many responses you would like to receive.  Create some milestones and continue to spread the word until you have had your desired number of responses.  Once you have your results, what are you going to do with the valuable information that you have compiled?</p>
<p><em><strong>Here are some ideas that will help you leverage the results of your survey:</strong></em></p>
<ul>
<li>Speak factually to your ideal audience, meaning now that you have facts&#8230;speak about them</li>
<li>Publish your results on your newsletters and blog</li>
<li>Create offerings that solve the problems your ideal audience is experiencing</li>
<li>Create marketing campaigns that address the results of your research</li>
</ul>
<p>What I really want you to get is that all of your offerings <em><strong>can</strong></em> be well received thus making them profitable.  Using surveys is simply one channel that you can use to make sure that what you have to offer is being marketed to the right audience.  An audience that  needs the problem solved that your offer addresses and an audience that can afford what you have to offer.</p>
<p>Lastly, while there are many services out there to help you create and analyze surveys, my favorite is <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com">www.surveymonkey.com</a>.</p>
<p>I would love to hear your thoughts&#8230;.</p>
<p>To your online success,</p>

<p><strong>  &#8220;This&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>So&#8230;.what do you really want? Such a simple question full of so much emotional charge.  The juiciness of clarity is priceless.  Being a deliberate creator and not allowing things in our lives to show up by default means that we must have clarity of our desires.  That is the first step.  This is where the &#8220;this&#8221; comes in.  Determining what we want to create for ourselves and more importantly connecting with the essence of why you want what you want.  And essence meaning, what is the feeling that this &#8220;thing&#8221;  will bring you.  Is it peace, is it freedom?  What is the essence of that &#8220;thing&#8221;?  When you are clear, obviously it makes the Universe more clear as far as what to bring you.  And it makes you as a person more magnetic to what you want.  Be specific in describing what you want in as much detail as possible.  It&#8217;s also important to give your intuition a place in this process.  Many times we are not creating the results that we want simply because we are not listening to our intuition and giving it the voice it commands in our lives.   </p>
<p><strong>Or &#8220;Better&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>We live in a possibilities based Universe.  What if that &#8220;thing&#8221; turned out even better than you could have ever imagined?  What if there was even more success and abundance tied to this &#8220;thing&#8221;? Think expansion versus constriction.  The point here is to be open to the form in which that &#8220;thing&#8221; shows up.  That is why it&#8217;s so important to connect to the essence of what you desire instead of the physical form.  Because in all reality, you could experience the essence of what you want in various ways not just in the way that you want it to show up.   Being open to receiving what you want or better is playing in the energy of expansion.  Amazing things show up when we are open to the possbilities and in the expectation of big and meaningful things unfolding for us.   </p>
<p>Ok so back to my original question&#8230;<em><strong>what do you really want for your life and business?</strong></em>  The answer to that question is really where the journey begins.  Knowing what you want and taking the steps forward both in the physical and in the energetic world to bring your desires forth. </p>
