new business

when to say NO to a business opportunity

are you a "yes" machine?
do you nod your head agreeably to every opportunity that comes your way?
well, that may not be the best thing for your business (or your sanity)!
we've all been there. we're super jazzed about our business & everything seems sparkly. so, we say "yes" to nearly every opportunity that presents itself.
yes, i'll take over that class.
yes, i'll help you plan that workshop.
yes, i'll sub for you while you're gone.
yes, i'll take you on as a private client.
yes...yes...yes!!!
if you feel like you're stuck in a place of "yes", it's time to put a little distance between between you and the "y" word.
before you agree to take on another project, run it through my little test which I'm sharing in today's video.
in it, i outline 4 criteria that any new business undertaking should meet BEFORE you say "yes".
 

now, i want to hear from you!

in the comments below share a time when you said "yes" to something and regretted it, or "no" to something and LOVED it!

don't let these 3 things stop you as you build your biz!

do you LOVE dreaming about your future yoga business?
thinking about all the great classes, retreats & workshops you'll lead? all the amazing students that'll flock to your teachings? and all the awesome opportunities that will inevitably come your way once you're a world-changing yoga teacher?
dreaming is fun. it's non-committal. it's enjoyable. it's the "honeymoon" of biz building.
then, when you sit down to actually do the work, plan the workshop, send the emails, make the calls, it's a whole different animal, and RESISTANCE rears it's ugly head!
does that sound familiar? i know i can certainly relate!
resistance feels so real, so all-consuming -- it's easy to let it foil even our best intentions.
but, as with all things we need to overcome, the first step is recognition.
in today's video teaching, i share 3 kinds of resistance that you may encounter as you try (and try again) to build your yoga business. because, once you see it for what it truly is -- just an icky feeling that really doesn't hold any power -- you can start to move beyond it!
 
have you encountered resistance when building your business?
please, share it in the comments below -- i read every single one!!

 

interested in the book i mentioned, War of Art? it's a goodie & a must-read for ALL entrepreneurs! check it out here.
