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!

  • {Mindful Monday} What my babies taught me about failure…

    Why do we, as adults, play small to avoid failure? Because I can tell ya’ – when you were a baby, you went all out. You were wide open. You couldn’t be held back from exploring your imagination. And you fell. A LOT. You likely skinned a knee. Hell, you probably scared your mother to {read more}
