Getting Clear and Empowered: Sales as Seva

In this week's call I'm going to be sharing:

- How Seva works in my business so that I generate abundance with confidence and without ever feeling icky or weird.

- How I feel completely in integrity when I am offering products and services in my business and am only attracting clients and students who desire to work with me.

- How you can drop all of the drama about being pushy or salesy with enrolments so you feel amazing talking about what you do and you're warmly welcoming in the people who genuinely need what you have to offer!

Sound good?

Growing Your Yoga Business: 6 Essential Steps

So you're all set to go in 2017... right?

Check out these 6 essential steps that have worked for me and my clients to have an Abundant 2017 in your Yoga business!

Why this program?

Because it's...

The money mindset of an abundant Yoga business owner

This week we are going to focus on the money mindset piece (which also forms Module 1 of the Growing Your Yoga Business Program,which is now a third full...)

Here's what I know for sure: until we address the underlying mindset piece about being aligned for abundance, no amount of nutsy-boltsy trainings are going to make a difference to the level of ease and flow you desire in your life and business.

So in the Weekly Call this week I'll be sharing some Yoga stories and techniques to help you get clear on your money mindset so you're ready to receive abundance this year.

Also, don't forget this fun bonus:

Turning Your Shortfalls Into Strengths!

Time and time again I laugh with my clients about the secret learnings we uncover in becoming Yoga Business Owners.

• Who thought upping your prices would trigger an existential crisis?
• Who knew creating a new online course would bring up your childhood junk?
• Who could ever imagine that you'd be photoshopping a friend's crotch... (Yes, that happened. Hang out here to find out more...)

As my coach says, if you want the BEST personal development program on the planet, start your own business!

So this week on the call you'll discover a simple and massively effective method to tune in to your natural tendencies. (Hint: when they are misaligned, you're playing small, struggling and being triggered. When you're attuned with them they are your biggest propulsion and strengths)

And a reminder that the $400 in bonuses

Growing Your Yoga Biz!

End of Year Celebrations!

This year my Sankalpa was to have the best year of my life... so far. In this call I'm celebrating all that 2016 was for me, and also sharing some reflection ideas for you to look back on your most recent trip around the sun, drawing insight from your experience.

Also, remember that 'Growing Your Yoga Business' is now open for enrolments! (And if you are looking for the VIP track it is already half full). Here is the link for more info: http://www.amymcdonald.com.au/growingyouryogabiz 

Monthly Open Mike!

Well it's nearly the end of the year and WOW have I seen some amazing growth in this community. That means it's time to celebrate all of your work, your service and your development. YES!

In this call I'm answering tonnes of your questions as well as letting you in on some very exciting news...

Enjoy!

P.S. - if you're catching this replay early, there is an even more exciting special offer for you... Here is a hint:

Feeling Supported on your Journey

On the Abundant Yoga Teacher Weekly Call this week I'm sharing some of my most favourite ways to feel supported on the 'solo-preneur' journey.

I hope they are useful!

How to Ask for Useful Feedback

I'm asked so many questions about what talented teachers should do in their classes, how they should alter their pricing or timetable and what additional offerings they should develop.

Guess what? Most times it is our STUDENTS and clients that we could be asking, afterall they are the ones who will be signing up to work with us.

And yet it can feel scary asking for feedback. What if you get something that you don't like? Gulp!

GOOD NEWS! I'm sharing in this podcast how to ask for feedback with grace and how to use it (often with even more grace!). I'll also share a few feedback horror stories with you, too, to prove that it is all surviveable! Enjoy!

Oh, and while you're listening, I'd be MEGA grateful if you could give me YOUR feedback by completing a micro survey here:

Monthly Open Mike!

Woot! It's that time of the month: I'm taking your questions and this month Leonie Beck is our superstar free coaching recipient! Yeehah! Way to take action, Leonie!

I'm also celebrating the stellar energy and commitment in this group with a sale. Check that out here: www.amymcdonald.com.au/bundles

Finding Sthira and Sukham in Your Pricing

In this call I'm sharing my (perhaps a little wacky) method to determine the best way to price for your events, workshops and classes (hint: it's how I price all of my offerings).

I'm also discussing how the role o the teacher extends to how you relate to you students when it comes to the cashola.

Enjoy!

Jambavan, Hanuman and Honest Self-Assessment

Today I'd like to introduce you to a character you might not know of.

Perhaps you've heard his name before. Perhaps you've no idea who he is.

(And yet you've known him all along!)

Meet Jambavan.

We will use his story to reflect on who you really are, and whether there are any leaps ahead for you and your biz as 2016 draws to a close.

(Have your journal and a pen ready for this replay.)

 

 

Behind the Scenes of my Thailand Abundant Yoga Retreat

Wow. That kind of sums up how AH-MAZING the group of women were who joined me on retreat last week for the VERY first Abundant Yoga Teacher Retreat in Chiang Mai in Thailand.

In this Weekly Call I'm sharing a little of what our experience was like, as well as a few ambient Thai sounds... ;)

What I learned from my trip to India that might help you, too!

This week I'm sharing some insights and personal stories from my recent trip to India. Enjoy!

(And a final note that if you want to work with me this year, it's HERE and NOW. xox)

Here are the resources that I mentioned on the call:

Lastly, if you're interested in Belinda O'Dea's retreat, I think she has a spot left! Learn about that here.

3 Things to Do Right Now to Attract More Private Clients

Do you offer private Yoga? Working one-on-one with your favourite students is not only TOTALLY rewarding, it is also a really abundant way to serve.

So if you're wondering about how to go out and find some private Yoga students... I've got you covered!

If coming up with a private clients plan is something that really appeals to you, I'm opening up some 3-hour intensives this month (and no more for the rest of the year).

You can learn more here:

Why I'm Raising My Rates and You Should, Too!

Over the past few weeks I've been supporting some of the amazing Yoga teachers in this community to raise their prices. Even though they were reporting that it was a scary and daunting task, I knew it was fairly straight forward...

...Until a colleague recommended (accurately) that I needed to do the same!

Gulp!

In this podcast we're talking all things raising rates: why we can feel the fear and do it anyway! I'm also outlining (gulp again) my new pricing structure come October first!

What is Social Proof and Why Do You Need It?

Social proof is SOOO important for compelling webpages. So... what is it?

In this week's training I'm sharing WHAT it is, HOW to get it and WHY you really must have it. Oh, and there's a Hanuman analogy thrown in for good measure, too!

4 Simple Steps to Your Perfect Yoga Website

These days it's simply not possible to have an Abundant Yoga Business without a compelling, powerful online presence.

Also during this call I'm formally opening 'Your Perfect Yoga Website' for registrations!

How I Used Virtual Retreats to Launch My Online Yoga Biz

Yesterday was my birthday. As with all birthdays, this is a time of year when I pause and reflect.

This year it really strikes me how much my life has changed.

Even two years ago I would never have imagined that I'd be free from my corporate job (while earning more money than I did then) and travelling the world.

Only in my wildest dreams did I think it would be possible for me to be the woman who 'over-summered' in Europe, hanging out with awesome clients and colleagues and all the while making a difference in people's lives by sharing what I know works.

So this week in the Weekly Call it feels absolutely perfect to be sharing with you one of the biggest stepping stones I found in my business to take me from struggling, adrenal fatigue, corporate worker, yoga-wannabe to now.

During the call I'm extending an invitation to everyone to join my new program, 'Your Powerful Virtual Wellness and Yoga Retreats'.

This program will give you the essential pieces to create your own online yoga retreats. 

The first training is in just one week (August 11).
