YAMA TALENT

You can’t get to the next level unless you know precisely where you are right now.

It’s not too late to thoroughly assess your business with time to implement your learnings to help you: make more money, spend more time doing what you love and feeling less overwhelmed in 2026.

Some business owners assess their data every month (me!), some every quarter, some twice a year.

Some people NEVER look.

I believe that what we need to accomplish our goals is already around us, but you’ve got to see it to be able to take it.

“Strategy is the overall plan and direction of your business. Many of us are so busy running the business day-to-day that we rarely carve out time to think about where the business is going and why, what we want to build and create, and most importantly— what’s working and what’s not working so we can pivot and adjust quickly. Consistent time spent on strategy is important to staying efficient and to running a flexible and resilient business.”

late summer tings: linen, book signing and community love for

In 2007, when I committed my life to sharing the practices of yoga, I knew that I would be surrounded by seekers learning how to be present to all that life had to offer, the bittersweet beauty of both the joy and the suffering; and how to make meaning of this human experience.

I’ve been filled with gratitude these past, few weeks as I’ve been in practice with some terribly brilliant minds who are committed to skillfully applying what they know for the benefit of others; and in precious community.

NEW COURSE: Master the Big 4 An On-Demand Course with Ava Taylor, Founder of YAMA Talent

It took me a long time to recognize the creativity involved in architecting dreams and yet that is exactly what we do as entrepreneurs every single day. There is immense creativity involved in the iteration of business ideas and in the strategies to reach the goals. I just love this quote by in Your Yoga Business. It was an honor to interview Cyndi on her business journey as part of my writing process, and to have (3) of her quotes included in the book. Deeply grateful and inspired as I look towards 2024. 😘,
