Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Wellness Professional

On today's episode of Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Wellness Professiona we're looking at a very common and important question in most wellness businesses, and that is what's better for your business group work or one-on-one work.

I come at this through the yoga lens and I've worked with many wellness professionals of all kinds, but one common theme that I see in the yoga world time and time again, is that group work is what really lights people up, but it doesn't pay as well.

​​In many cases, yoga teachers will often make better money for teaching a one-on-one session. However many of them say they hate teaching the one-on-one sessions. They love the group work, but they feel like they have to teach one-on-ones in order to make ends meet so to speak.

​I want to call this out and say that it's not true.

on today's podcast episode, where I'm getting real with you. About the time both myself and my business got sued. That's right. Someone managed to take Saratoga to court, and while it was uncomfortable at the time, it was one of the best things that has ever happened to my business. And to me, I know that sounds crazy, but stay with me and listen through the entire episode. And you're going to hear how it really made me bolder. It made my business stronger and I don't regret one moment of it. The reason I'm sharing this here today with you is because so many people I speak with clients, potential clients, people on social media, et cetera, really want to put themselves out there into the world. They want to share their gifts and their passions. They want to help and heal others.

And yet they're scared of all the things that might go wrong. They're scared of the haters. They're scared of the negative reviews and they're scared of the big, bad Wolf lawsuits. My hope in sharing this with you today is to show you that for many people, this is just a milestone in your business. Just like getting your first refund request. It's nothing to lay awake at night. Wondering about it's nothing to prevent you from putting yourself out there to the world, unless you choose for it to be. So I'm going to run you through what happened when myself and my business faced that worst case scenario of someone filing a lawsuit against us and how we got through it and what we learned along the way, because I am a better person now for having gone through this experience.

On today's podcast episode, where we're talking about three things you can do right now to bring more money into your wellness business.

So often people over-complicate this, they think, I need more money. I'm not reaching my goals.

They start thinking about a whole new line of services to sell or having to go into a launch model of selling, selling, selling really hard. This doesn't feel good or natural to them.

I'm here to blow this notion right up in your face and tell you that it doesn't have to be that hard. It doesn't have to be that complicated to bring more money into your business right now.

That said there are things that you need to show up for and take action on. So we're not going to pretend that you're sitting at home on the couch, eating Bon bons, and this is how you're going to make more money.

Definitely not.

You're going to have to show up and take action. It can be simplified and it can be much more joyful than you expected it to be.

Some of this podcast episode might be new techniques that you've never even thought of. Some of it might be a little bit scary, even though straightforward.

I'm going to encourage you to listen all the way through. Running a successful business that grows healthily, one that is profitable and sustainable is often not the most sexy thing. What I mean is that you're not always launching new services. You're not always doing hardcore social media campaigns. Sometimes it's the small behind the scenes tasks that make the biggest difference. This episode is going to highlight that very, very well.

On today's podcast episode, we were taking an honest look at the sales activity you're probably missing. Today I am going to give you tips that you should implement in your business, starting today and watch your sales and revenue transform for the better are you ready?

When most new yoga teachers and wellness professionals who I coach dive into their onboarding process with me, they usually come in thinking that their problem is in the form of marketing or social media. As we look closely at everything in their business, we quickly realize what they have is a selling problem.

Now, there is so much chatter all over the place. So much talk about launching and getting your online program up and running.

People tell you to create email funnels as if, once you automate all of these things, you can just set it and forget it. And watch sales magically fall from the sky. Will these processes help your selling? Yes, they will. Are they enough on their own? Absolutely not.

On today's podcast episode I have a very special guest, one of my favorite guests, Nicole Otchy. Nicole is not only a brilliant personal stylist, but she is a dear friend of mine.

We went to high school together, so we go way back. We're both 40 this year. So we go way, way back.

It's been such a joy to discover each other as adults, as business owners and as fellow women moving forward in our lives.

If you don't follow Nicole on Instagram, first of all, you should. Second of all, our topic today came from an announcement that she made last week on her Instagram that stirred up a lot of news and really joyful news at that.

That was her pregnancy announcement. She shared very vulnerably that she is and that she has been waiting to share this announcement for five years.

From that came beautiful topic of how can you show up for yourself for your business on social media, in your email, or however you need to show up, even in person.

If you're going through things behind the scenes that make you feel challenged or sometimes less than or questioned yourself then this episode is for you.

Nicole has certainly experienced this with her journey towards being pregnant and a mother. I've certainly experienced this in my life as being a mother to a special needs child and having a journey that looks really different.

So today we are both getting really honest and personal with you, and we're going to dive right into this topic.

On today's episode of Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Wellness Professional I am diving into the details around how I can serve and support you today.

I'm sharing this episode today for two reasons. One, my business has changed tremendously over the last year, and now not only do I work with yoga students, I also coach yoga teachers as I have for many years, as you probably know, from listening to this podcast, but I also work with special needs parents.

I have opened up a consulting practice for this population in the last year. So if that speaks to you, you're going to want to listen all the way to the end.

The other reason I'm sharing this episode today is because let's face it. Our world is a different place than it was even just one year ago.
