228: The One Thing Six Figure Yoga Online Business Owners Know

What do six figure online yoga business owners know that you don't? IN THIS EPISODE, I'm going to show you the difference between struggling to get students and having a waitlist for your online offerings. I've helped over 20,000 yoga teachers build online businesses and generated over $2 million in sales. After working with hundreds of six figure yoga business owners, I can tell you the gap isn't about working harder or creating more content. They all do one specific thing that most struggling yoga teachers refuse to do: They niche down. Key Takeaways: Most yoga teachers think they have a niche, but they actually have a broad idea that doesn't create recognition. Without deep niche clarity, you get weak marketing, inconsistent sales, and a passion project that drains you. Six figure teachers claim a specific person, solve one clear problem, and own their story as authority. Niching isn't about eliminating people. It's about becoming recognisable to the people you are meant to serve.

And still be completely stuck when it comes to building income online. Today I'm sharing why that is, and more importantly, what the shift actually looks like for the teachers who do break through.
