Why 80% of Yoga Businesses Won’t Survive 2012

Sometimes it feels like our community has swallowed a ticking bomb and is set to self-destruct at any moment.

Why?

Because people in our community have bought in to these myths that are not only holding us back from serving more people but are actually setting us up for FAILURE.

These myths have become a crutch that people point to when things fall apart in their business… when the reality of entrepreneurship sucker-punches them in gut and they realize that running a business is not exactly how they imagined.

And things do fall apart. Over 80% of new yoga businesses will close before they reach 3 years old. {I actually believe that number is much much higher}. And often, the owner has taken huge losses, never making a profit for all the hard work they put into their business.

There’s a lot of cheerleading going on and not much practical to-the-point advice on how to THRIVE as an enlightened entrepreneur.

Good thing I’ve never been the cheerleading type.

I’ve been working on this 3-part video series to give you a practical perspective and clear action plan to make 2012 your best year yet!

  • Ninja Time Management Secret for Yogipreneurs!

    The age old debate — family or career? We all used to think it had to be one or the other. That the only way to build a successful business was investing lots of all-nighters, time “pounding the pavement” and vats of coffee. No time left over for family. Or relationships.
