Ep 6565: Transitioning from yoga teacher to the Visionary of your yoga business
There’s something they don’t tell you when you start a yoga business- mindset is everything. I didn’t have the right mindset when I first started out.It's fair to say that when you look at roles within an organisation. - the mindset of an employee is different from the mindset of the CEO.Looking back I realise I held myself back with an employee mindset or in this context, the mindset of a yoga teacher. What I should have been doing is looking at my business with the mindset of a CEO - or the mindset of a Yoga Visionary The good news is that when I discovered what the problem was, I was able to take steps to transform my mindset and become more aware of my limiting beliefs that were holding back. In this episode, I am sharing how you can transform and transition your mindset from employee or ‘yoga teacher’ to CEO or ‘yoga visionary’ of your yoga business!

Ep 5858: How to create content your yoga students actually want and need
How do you ensure that what you’re creating is something that your community actually wants to watch, read or listen to? You've likely experienced that nerve-wracking moment when you share a blog post in a Facebook group or on Instagram, crossing your fingers that it will drive traffic over to your website.And then…You wait and wait and your blog post doesn’t get one single comment. You dig a little deeper into google analytics and realise no one even viewed the post!And so all of that hard work feels like a waste of time because you didn’t get the results you wanted.Most people give up at that point, never to write and share a post again. But the thing is, we must be consistent in sharing our content. It’s not a case of share once and that’s it job done. We must re-purpose our content (I talk about this during this episode) and share it multiple times to continue to drive our community over to our website to read more. That's important.In this episode, you'll discover three exercises to help you create content your students actually want and need.The Digital Yoga Academy Facebook group is a community of thousands of yoga teachers all over the world.

Ep 5454: Why overnight business success is a myth!
It's easy for us to open up Instagram and think every other yoga teacher is ahead and is having crazy success.We call it overnight success and when you see others having "overnight success" it can cause anxiety because you feel like you're not enough because of it.The issue is that it puts an unrealistic expectation of quick success and when quick success doesn't happen it causes feelings of anxiety and feeling left behind.So I want to first lay it on the table - overnight success is a big fat myth.After coaching hundreds of yoga teachers, I can tell you now that one of the most common obstacles in becoming successful is the unconscious desire and expectation for overnight success and having it all worked out right now.And these desires and expectations make you feel impatient. and more inclined to want to take short cuts which means that your performance suffers.In this episode I discuss why overnight business success is actually just a myth!Topics covered: Why hard work, grit and resilience is required for success Thinking positively about your own journey Tackling imposter syndrome Why you don’t want to skip working hard to reach success The power of failure Why business strategies and mindset are essential for success Journal prompts for success Extra resources:Kelly’s live training archive: https://www.facebook.com/groups/digitalyogaacademy/learning_content/ The Digital Yoga Academy Facebook group is a community of thousands of yoga teachers all over the world.

Ep 4949: What it actually takes to create a six-figure online yoga course biz!
There's a lot of hype online these days about creating a six-figure business. It seems like everyone is promoting some system, strategy or framework for getting to “six-figures”.“30 Days to a $100K Business”“How I Made Multiple Six Figures With a Single Coaching Funnel”“Six-Figure Webinars” The list goes on... And it can be misleading and sometimes even deceptive.We must remember that the "six-figures" relates to the revenue (sales), and depending on the business model, the profit could paint a very different picture. Not every six-figure business is profitable.But those that are more profitable are the businesses that have reduced expenses which are…ONLINE BUSINESSES! Successful businesses aren’t born overnight - they take years of expertise, practice, failing, hard work and failing some more. Having grown my online yoga business for the last three years, I know what it takes to actually create a six-figure business and I'm sharing this with you in this episode!

Ep 3030: Why you shouldn't "charge your worth" when pricing your offerings
If you’ve been teaching for any length of time or just being in business, perhaps as a freelancer, you’ve probably heard people say “charge your worth” or charge what you’re worth, your time is worth so much more. This is always part of a larger conversation about pricing, and is something I’ve definitely heard in the yoga space usually between a teacher who is struggling to make a sustainable living teaching yoga and a friend or even a coach trying to be helpful. The message is that if you’re not charging what you’re worth, you’re not charging enough and dammit, you’re worth more than that.In this episode I’m talking about charging your worth and specifically why you shouldn’t charge your worth. This may be the opposite to what you’ve been told so listen to this episode and let me explain.Topics Covered: Your intrinsic self worth does not align with how much money you earn Tying your pricing to the value of your work instead of your personal value! Imposter syndrome and self doubt Our deep rooted beliefs, emotions and behaviour around money Taking the emotion out of pricing Communicating the value of your offering The way you price has to be linked to what you can offer as results Why charging higher prices can make your offerings easier to sell Charging more can motivate you to raise your game Questions to ask yourself when it comes to pricing Separate your potential income from your self worth The Digital Yoga Academy Facebook group is a community of thousands of yoga teachers all over the world.
