Watch out self-employed boys and girls. Get ready to get down to business with one of my favorite business coaches, Tina Forsyth. I reached out to Tina last winter when I knew I needed to extract myself by 1 level from Yogahealer to recover the space for my “genius-level” work (reference to the The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks). I ended up hiring her to help coach me through buffing out my Yoga Health Coaching Certification program.

In this interview I talk to Tina Forsyth about:

• Taking control of your livelihood for yoga teachers
• Determining if you have a proven career or an expensive hobby
• How to navigate the tapas of the yoga business
• How do determine which stage of business you’re in
• Taking yourself from start-up to leverage

What we mention in this Episode:

• The 3 stages of business for entrepreneurs
• Getting the itch to grow
• Consciously changing your business model when you’re growing
• What should be on your plate… and what shouldn’t
• How to stick to  your Yes list
• Women’s advantage in a connection economy

Cate’s Favorite Quotes from the Conversation

I believe that owning a business is the best personal growth journey that there is – The good, the bad and the ugly… it all contributes to making us the best possible version of ourselves that we can be (even when it’s hard.)

Business is finding the sweet spot where what you want serves what they need.

If you want to grow on a foundation you want to create a foundation that can grow and expand.

If you want to grow your career, you should learn from an expert in your field who is way ahead of where you want to be… and who knows the steps to get there.

 I’m a huge fan of looking at someone who has been where you’ve been, and has created what you desire to create.
