What's your business, and who are your customers?
Yoga studio and our customers are anyone interested in feeling more energy in their body and their life.
Tell us about yourself
One of my biggest values is freedom - freedom to do what I want to do on my terms, freedom in my body to be able to use it to its fullest potential, and freedom to share my voice and express what I believe to be important. I teach that when I instruct classes, lead training, run my operations, and share with my community. I am motivated to keep this lifestyle, so I make sure to work smartly, listen to what's needed in the world, and put my attention where I'm being called.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Trusting that the impact I'm making is enough to make a living and simultaneously making it through rough patches of making bad decisions, surviving a pandemic, and being transformed through it all with the passion to keep growing and evolving.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Realizing that what I offer is not for everyone, and I'm not for everyone.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Explore your values, mission, and vision for your life and your business. Put that into everything you do and share it with your team.
- Learn every role in your business at first and then delegate the parts that you don't want to do. A simultaneous exercise is to determine early what you want to be spending your time on in the long run and work daily on making that happen.
- Trust that it will all work out as it should. Don't worry about what hasn't happened yet - put energy where you can make a difference; otherwise, let it go.
