Six Figure Coaching with Yoga Health Coaching
In this Changemaker Challenge episode, Carly Banks sits down with fellow yoga health coach Dana Skoglund. Dana broke the $100K mark with her yoga health coaching income this year, working an average of 25 hours per week!
Prior to YHC, Dana was making $18K teaching 6-8 yoga classes per week. To try to make more money, she would lead a ton of workshops, but that left her exhausted. Dana now works 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Her evenings and weekends are free to spend with her family, and she loves the freedom of creating her own schedule. Yoga Health Coaching also provides Dana with the freedom to travel because she can work from anywhere.
Dana’s success is due in great part to her ability to understand the value of investing and reinvesting in her self and her business skills. Simultaneously, she’s investing in the growth of the people she can serve. Her goal for next year is to double her income.
With an income that exceeds her basic needs, Dana is able to reinvest in her business skills, design the life she wants to give herself and her family, all while leading others to permanent positive change.
What you’ll get out of tuning in:
- Why investing in your business skills is the best investment for you, your family, and the people you serve as a wellness professional.
- How Yoga Health Coaching allows you to design the type of life you want to live.
- How income and impact go hand in hand.
