The Virtual Assistant Spa & Business Building Retreat
May 27, 2008
Calling All Virtual Assistants Who Need a Business Boost & A Totally Relaxing Spa Retreat Weekend With Erin Blaskie, The VA Coach, and Ten Other Brilliant Virtual Assistants
On September 19, 20 and 21 of 2008, ten lucky virtual assistants will get to spend the weekend with Erin Blaskie, The VA Coach, and ten other participants to mastermind, relax at the spa and build great things for their businesses.
We’re going to cover topics such as:
- Enhancing our websites for maximum appeal and sales conversion
- Turning our businesses into six-figure businesses
- Building a multi-VA practice
- Creating passive revenue streams
- Organizing your business to run without you
- Client management and long-term satisfaction from your clients
- Partnerships that will help increase your business portfolio
- And SO much more…
We’re also going to do website and business hotseats which will:
- Force you to run through your business (the good, bad and ugly) with the group so that we can pick up on your problem areas
- Teach you tips and tools you can use for the long-term as it relates to both YOUR business and YOUR website specifically
- Allow you to ask questions of The VA Coach and the other participants with regards to the way your business is currently run
- Let you see your business in a new light and through a different set of eyes. It’s amazing what a bit of perspective can do!
Where is the Retreat?
This is my favorite part… The retreat is being held at a Nature Spa located in picturesque Old Chelsea, Quebec, Canada. The nature spa borders beautiful Gatineau Park where you can see the beautiful Canadian autumn in all of its glory.
The nature spa is unique in that it is completely dedicated to the practice of Scandinavian relaxation techniques such as Nordic baths. However, it is not the techniques that is the site’s major asset. The location and natural scenery you will take in here rivals any nature spa you will find.
What is the Cost of This Amazing Retreat?
Yes, this is an important part of telling you all about this retreat. We’ve priced it out so that it is affordable and worth every penny. You’ll get:
- Two nights, three days deluxe accomodation in a private lodge with the other retreat participants. (Airfare is not included and is the responsibility of each participant.)
- All meals paid - meals are gourmet and completely healthy… The spa is all about indulgence in a good way.
- Spa services included.
- Business masterminding sessions throughout the weekend.
- Access to the Nordic baths and other facilities on site.
- Three one-hour coaching sessions with The VA Coach after the retreat for accountability.
- A copy of The VA Coach’s ‘Skyrocket Your VA Business to Six-Figure Success’ print product (huge binder and CDs) which is not yet available to the public
- And much, much more…
