No matter how careful you are, you're going to get negative feedback at some point in your business journey. Hear how I keep it from derailing me - usually!

A while back I asked members of our Summit Host Hangout Facebook group what questions they wanted me to answer on the podcast, and when I saw this question it was an instant addition to my list! Abigail asked, "What do you do when someone questions your ethics?" 

I'm so excited to dive into this one, because I've dealt with this plenty over the years in varying capacities,...

Staying True to Your Summit’s Vision Through the Highs and Lows with Sarah Rosensweet

No matter how careful you are, you're going to get negative feedback at some point in your business journey. Hear how I keep it from derailing me - usually!

Some summit hosts start their planning with a clear vision of what they want their event to be like from the beginning. And others go in knowing they want to host a summit, but it takes a little while for their full vision to come through. Either way, once you get into the details of planning your summit, it's not always easy to stay true to the vision you had for your event in the...

Two Must-Have Pieces of Your Summit to See Record-Breaking Revenue

In this episode I'll break down two higher-level pieces that you need to pay attention to and how they influence the revenue generated through your summit.

One of the first things many people think about when they start planning for a summit is "How many registrations can I get?" And last week we talked about why getting as many registrations as possible isn't what matters.

The next thing people generally start to wonder is: "How much revenue can I make from my summit?" So this week we're going to talk about the two areas of your...

Getting as Many Registrations as Possible Isn't What Matters

In this episode, I'll highlight what you probably think about when you're reflecting on the success of your event and uncover what is truly important.

This week, instead of giving you a strategy, I've got a bit of a different topic for you to encourage you to shift the way you think about hosting your summit and the goals you have around it. 

It's so easy to go into planning your summit with the mindset of how many registrations you can get or how much money you can make. 

But that's not where I want your focus to...

Why I Don't Rely on One Marketing Strategy

Summits aren't my only strategy! Today, I'll break down why I don't rely only on summits, how I found my perfect mix of strategies, and how you can too.

Today's episode originally started as a comment on a Facebook Ad, and turned into a perfect segue into something fun we’ve got coming up next week!

So, let’s start with the backstory... I run a lot of Facebook ads, and I get a lot of angry comments from people who are mad that I'm running ads when I teach that summits work so well. It drives them nuts!

I finally started...

Virtual Summits vs. Challenges: Why I won't stop doing either anytime soon

Ready for another marketing strategy showdown? 

In previous podcast episodes, we've compared bundles with summits and free summits with paid conferences. Today we’ll compare virtual summits to challenges! I ran one of each, just a few months apart, so the timing was perfect for doing a true head-to-head comparison.

On the surface, these strategies might look similar, but...

Can you believe it? This is our last episode of 2023! 

So, what else would I do other than reflect on how the year went and look ahead to next year?
