Even a Simple Budget Tool Can Do Great Things
A free budget template for you to use as a model. Even if you've never used a spreadsheet before, you'll be able to predict and track Expenses and Income accurately. No surprises.
A budget will help you set optimal pricing for your workshop or retreat, so you know exactly what you can pay for vendors or supplies or extra staff or extra offerings to make your event special.
A budget will help you predict how profitable your event will be!
You'll have a financial measuring tape so you don't go crazy with your spending, out in the field. Or hey, live a little, go crazy a little - but be informed.
Knowing the numbers will ensure that your event is well-funded, that you can meet the unexpected, and expect fewer contingencies (stuff that goes wrong) along the way and while you’re there.
What worked? What didn’t? Your budget will give you a reliable and accurate measuring tool for any adjustments you want to make for your next event, to make it even more successful.
Your budget can help you set optimal pricing for your workshop or retreat. Once you know your bottom line, you have not only a basis for comparison to the current market, but you’ll feel solid and secure in your planning and the delivery of your workshop.
You’ll have a better time, and so will your participants. Chances are you’ll get better reviews from your people, they’ll come back for more, and they’ll tell their friends about the wonderful time they had.
Know where your bottom line begins and ends! Few of us like sitting down with a spreadsheet, we'd rather be making art! But inevitably, Good Budget = Great Success. You'll be happy you took the time.
