No, that's not what I said at all.

There are two aspects to success here:

One is mindset. If Trina doesn't believe that what I do will work, I can promise you that it won't.

The second is following my suggestions. Believing without doing doesn't get results. If she doesn't do the Adwords, use the keywords I suggested,
make changes to her website (including the url), and capture and email leads, it won't work despite the beliefs.

What made Sara a huge success is that she not only believed, she carried out.

In fact, she carried out so much we've basically turned the marketing pipeline off for now.

And in a short while, Sara will be leading yoga retreats - and we will market them with the exact same methods I shared with Trina.

I hope you let us know by email how your plan works for Trina. If you are right, I will be the first to give you credit.
Gary, one of the first rules of marketing you need to understand is the same rules apply whether I'm promoting a yoga retreat, yoga business, or local ice cream shop.

You've got to identify the market - I don't believe Trina had done this.

You've got to get the attention of the market - Trina had not done this.

You've got to communicate and build a relationship with the market - Trina had not done this.

You've got to make a compelling offer to the market - Trina had not done this either.

If Trina follows the steps I outlined - and I believe she will - then she can fill the retreat.

Mexico yoga retreats is a highly searched term on the Internet.

There is clearly a market for this.

The only question is, can she connect with them.

Peace.
