Fellow studio owners, Today I worked on projections for Elemental OM for the SBA with much care. The result is what I believe to be a great worksheet for you to use which you can drop your own numbers into to see what investment you will be making back in your studio with social distancing […]
Small business owners in Ohio. My heart is with you as we too were forced to close. I know it is such a tough time. Most small businesses have cash flow for about 6 weeks out if they are lucky and that is it. I wanted to share with you all the forms you can […]
Face it. You are a start-up. You are a one man show. You are in a cut-throat competitive spiritual environment that is under priced and over served. That means that you don’t have any cash flow to waste on marketing and you have a ton of competition. The key word here is “waste” not “marketing.” […]
I got a great question yesterday from a woman who is a massage therapist and is having a tough time building her business in a very competitive market.

Let it first be known that I work an insane amount of hours each week. I work so much that at one point I went to a psychic friend for counseling. I wanted to know the timing of when this insane drive of mine would finally slow down. He laughed and explained my insane drive […]
This is from the Siri Guru Granth reflecting on the qualities of a leader: “You are beautiful when you don’t speak. When you do speak, speak wisely. Your job is to elevate others. It is not their job to elevate you.” I found this message written down in one of my many journals. It’s a […]
“Itarashtam tithar kashtam” Empty handed you come, empty handed you go. It is a law which should never be broke. So yesterday I posted about Groupon in response to a blog on YogaDork. It put me in the thread of comments and I was really surprised to not only see the lack of Ahimsa (non-violence) […]
