Indie Business Retreat (formerly Indie Cruise), which I've hosted since 2011, is a boutique mentoring retreat that takes place at a luxury resort on a beautiful Caribbean island. It's designed for people who want to take a pause from the draining and repetitive demands of life and business to clarify their goals, gain new perspectives in community with like-minded entrepreneurs, and of course, mastermind their business while sipping exotic drinks by the pool or in the middle of the ocean on a chartered catamaran.
It's also an opportunity to take a deep dive into a certain aspect of entrepreneurship that will open new doors for your business in terms of increased income and opportunities and further innovation and growth.
To that end, our focus in 2022 on the Road to Recurring Revenue is perfect for any business that understands that the future of long-term success in business is inextricably intertwined with the notions of recurring revenue, subscriptions, and membership-based business models.
No matter what kind of business you have, you will benefit from the principles we will discuss and mastermind regarding to this topic!
Indie Business Retreat 2022 Theme:
Road to Recurring Revenue
Why is this theme so timely? Let's start with a few informative statistics:
• The Subscription Trade Association recently predicted that by 2023, 75% of direct-to-consumer brands will offer some type of subscription.
• Each time a returning customer purchases your product, your bottom line increases in multiples. Bain & Company, a well respected management consulting firm, reported that repeat customers tend to buy more over time, and that a 5% increase in customer retention produces a 25% increase in profit.
• In her book, The Membership Economy, author Robbie Kellman Baxter shared evidence that recurring revenue business models support deeper relationships with customers, and that those relationships come full circle to support recurring revenue business models.
Dual focus on recurring revenue and membership
While I believe strongly in the strength and sustainability of a recurring revenue or subscription business model, I believe just as strongly that standing alone, the transactional nature of recurring revenue and subscription business models is an inherent weakness.
At the retreat, we will focus deeply on overcoming this weakness with notions of community and membership so that you are not relying exclusively on the transactional nature of the recurring revenue business model.

If you want to create and sustain recurring revenue in your business over the long-term, you will need more than just the technology to support the ability to process subscriptions. You'll also need to establish and nurture the personal relationships that let your customers know they are more than a sale — they are a valuable member of your brand community.
Put all of that together and you have a solid business foundation that can support ongoing growth into the future. If you want that, then you need to be at Indie Business Retreat 2022. Here is how to join us!
