This week on the podcast I am joined by Chioma (Chi) Njoku from The Mindful Bookkeeper. Chi is a business woman turned yoga teacher. After 6 months of teaching yoga full-time, Chi found that she couldn’t create a sustainable living just off of her studio classes. She was frustrated and disheartened by the yoga industry.
Then, after hearing too much “You can’t make money in the yoga industry” and “I’ll just do it for free”, Chi decided to start her own business – The Mindful Bookkeeper – to help people begin to understand the power of money stories, relationships with money, and that it’s okay to make money in your business!
On this episode, we talk about the money side of the yoga industry, why it’s okay to make money as a yoga teacher, how to overcome your money stories, and much more.
Enjoy! (more…)
