Running a Successful Kids Yoga Business

What does the word success bring up in you? How does the word success make you feel?

What if somebody asked you “Do you have a successful business?”

Do you think that you have a ‘successful’ business? What does that look like to you?

The word success used to make me feel small and like a failure. But I realise now, that is because what I thought success was is not what it truly is.

Growing up in a capitalist society, I linked the word success with highly profitable and also very well known.

I imagined that running a successful yoga business meant that you employed multiple people, perhaps even had a studio or a retreat centre. It meant having thousands of followers on social media and a full schedule of full classes. It meant doing all of the classes all of the time for all of the people.

Weirdly, I also thought that to be successful, I also needed to be thin. That pile of shit is for another day! 😂Clearly, this is NOT true! 

This is what the Oxford Dictionary has to say about success:

Success: The accomplishment of an aim or purpose.

Wow. So simple.

And just like that, I have a successful business!

I am very clear on the aim and purpose of my business.

Right now, at this stage of life, my business needs to fit with my life. I need my business to:

💫Earn enough money to be comfortable- Healthy food and holidays are a must.
💫Fit around my needs and my family needs- I need space for flexibility. 
💫Feel purposeful and have meaning - I need to believe that what I do is important.
My business does all of these things.

No. I don’t earn 6 figures.
No. I don’t employ a team of staff.
No. My work week is not full to the brim- I would not want it to be.
No. I don’t own a studio.
No. I do not have a perfect body- this is ridiculous!

It can be tempting to look at others and what they do and either consciously or subconsciously. It can be easy to fall into the trap of believing that success is what someone else is saying is success.

But really, success is the accomplishment of an aim or a purpose. That’s all. Simple!
