What I (Finally) Discovered About Myself This Weekend

Over the weekend I caught myself in a pattern I thought I’d dropped. In this episode I’m looking at how I’m choosing to manage energy and power both as the teacher and the student moving forward.

I’m referring to Matthew Remski’s article here.

Service Leakage and How to Fix It

Thanks to one of my fab 1:1 clients for bringing this topic to our attention! Service Leakage happens when we offer additional services without charging, stay longer after class, include value-added options without adjusting the rates… In this episode I’m working through why it’s really important to STOP service leakage, and how to go about it.

Also a reminder that there are 8 places remaining in Growing Your Yoga Biz 2021 and all registrations CLOSE this SUNDAY. So get yourself signed up here: https://www.amymcdonald.com.au/gyyb

What to Do When You Want to Call In Sick

You know what it’s like… you wake up in the morning and just can’t be fcked. But as self-employed Yoga business owners we can’t just call our boss and ‘fake a sickie’. So what to do? Well, as a generally lazy person (at least when it comes to business admin!) I’ve got three tips for you that I think might help next time you’re feeling ‘meh’.

Also today I’m announcing 4 places available in my Keep Growing Mastermind, commencing May. The KGM is a six-month group coaching program to stay connected, committed and continuing to generate prosperity and joy in your Yoga business.

With a Clear Purpose You're Adamantine!

I’m not going to lie: I’ve wanted to use the word ‘adamantine’ in a podcast title for YEARS! (Paramahansa Yogananda says it in ‘Autobiography of a Yogi. Isn’t it great?) Thanks for indulging me ;)

Look at that Amazing Creature!

Is it just me, or does it feel like name calling, judgement and being nasty is on the rise? And - within our industry specifically?

Lucky for us, I got dumped (again) and I’m using that, some Ramayana parables and a line from the incredible David Attenborough to riff on compassion, enemy-wisdom and not being quite so quick to judge.
