147: Foundational Business Practices Every Yoga Teacher Needs with Lauren Schoenfeld
You all know that I am only minimally interested in business-- I’d much rather talk about the actual craft of teaching yoga. But we do need to make money, and if we have chosen yoga teaching as our job, we need to be SMART about business because it is not the easiest way to make a living!
Having some smart foundational systems in place can make a huge difference in your yoga teaching career path, and today we have Lauren Schoenfeld (she/her) on the podcast to help us out!
In this episode, you’ll hear:
the foundational systems that all solopreneurs should have in place
what yoga teachers should look at if they want to cut unnecessary expenses
how to establish a cash flow plan for our businesses
