This week on the podcast I am joined by Kaya Mindlin. Kaya has been teaching yoga for 18 years, and on this episode she shares how she created a small, but mighty and successful, yoga business.
There is so much pressure these days to build your list, do ads on social media, teach anything and everything that you are given the opportunity to do, serve everyone, give away freebies and hope that some day someone will engage with you. And this has it's place... but it's not a fit for every yoga teacher.
In Kaya's business, she dug a well with a small but incredibly committed number of yoga teachers, and she's had a successful private practice of yoga therapy clients and students, yoga teachers who train with her, and a yoga studio in the Bay Area. She was the main breadwinner in her family for a chunk of those years, and on this episode she's sharing how she did and how you can too!
Kaya also shares why and how she transferred her business online, what that process has taught her, and some of the biggest business lessons she's learned through her career.
Enjoy!

Are you a studio owner that’s working 16-18 hour days but still struggling to grow? OR Are you a well established studio with healthy monthly revenue, but membership growth has plateaued?
If either of these sound like you, I've got the perfect solution... Most studio owners get marketing all WRONG!!
Tell me if this sounds familiar, you're writing blogs, posting daily on all the social media sites, sending out email newsletters, blah blah blah…
While these activities might get you a new member or two EVENTUALLY, it will take months or even years before they payoff.
You need new members today…

This week on the podcast I am joined by Brit Kolo from Marketing Personalities. After spending years working as a marketing coach, Brit created her own business where she studied the 16 Myers-Briggs (MBTI) personality types and determined what the best marketing strategy is for each of them.
On this episode, Brit and I talk about Marketing Personalities, including why this important, how we can use our individual marketing personality to our benefit in our businesses, and how to start saying "no" to the things we think we should be doing in our businesses but aren't serving us. Brit also goes through my MBTI personality type - ENJF - and gives some examples of the type of marketing that ENFJ's (like me!) should be doing in their businesses.
This was a really eye opening episode for me, and since implementing the strategies of my marketing personality into my business, I've seen a ton of shifts away from the things I think I should be doing and towards the marketing strategies that excite and light me up most.
Enjoy!
