What is Yogapreneurship? by Silvia Mordini
Yogapreneurship means creating a yoga business you love that is sustainable, inspiring, and profitable through aligning your personal, spiritual, and business goals.
Yogapreneurship is for the socially conscious business yogi who is continuously evolving on three levels.
Creation: Mindful business development and innovation that transforms your yoga. This is more than your life’s work, this is your life’s love.
Sustainment: Enter the self-sustaining growth cycle that keeps the mind, body, and spirit in a state of expansion.
Growth: Capture your infinite interest and stay inspired by regularly shifting your intelligent edge.
With 20 years of successful leadership in yogapreneurship after an intentional early retirement from the corporate world after 13 years, here is what I’ve learned. Have a strategy. Know what you want, and how to create, sustain, and grow it.
