The problem it solves
Many individuals set goals but struggle to follow through due to lack of structure and accountability. These workshops would provide the necessary framework and support to help them succeed.
How it makes money
Revenue could be generated through ticket sales for workshops, with potential upselling of additional resources such as workbooks and follow-up coaching sessions.
Skills you need
Key skills include facilitation, motivational speaking, goal-setting expertise, and marketing to attract participants.
The market, and why this works now
The rise of remote work has increased the demand for personal development resources, making goal-setting workshops timely. A concrete first-revenue move is to list the workshops in local chambers of commerce directories, which can connect with individuals seeking professional growth. A key risk is the reliance on ticket sales, which may fluctuate based on economic conditions and consumer willingness to invest in personal development.
