Most facilitators don’t have a business.
They have a paid hobby that depends on the next client email.
In this episode of Another Day, Another Workshop, I’m joined by Nathy Ravez, facilitator, founder of La Workshoppeuse and creator of the Facilipreneur Mastermind to unpack what it really takes to go from freelance facilitator to business owner (while living in Bali!).
If you’re tired of trading time for money, customizing every workshop from scratch, or feeling lost about sales and offers, this one is for you.
In this episode:
✅ Freelance facilitator vs facilipreneur: what’s the actual difference?
✅ How Nathy said no to a promotion and built a business from Bali
✅ Why your clients don’t care about “facilitation” and what they do care about
✅ How to use your existing network to find your first (or next) clients
✅ Turning experience into signature workshops and repeatable offers
✅ Positioning yourself so it’s clear what you do and who you help
✅ Using facilitation skills in sales conversations (without feeling pushy)
✅ Why giving value for free can be your best sales strategy
✅ Inside the Facili-preneur Mastermind and Nathy’s upcoming free class
