Episode 3: The Shift: Employee to Business Owner

Episode 3 of NY to Paradise: creating your own success is titled, "The Shift: Employee to Business Owner." We spoke with Sakina Williams; who spent years working in the publishing industry, as a writer and editor,  the shift for her occurred two years ago when she decided to start her own yoga practice; BK Buddha. She has been a yoga practitioner for over 20 years and currently teaches Yoga Theory and Application at Seton Hall University. She expresses how her 6-week trip to India to study with a yoga guru left a lasting impact and how she plans to use that experience to build her practice.

 

 

"Coco Says" - is insight from Coretta Ryan based on her personal experiences.

The fear of starting a business can be nerve wrecking but once you take the steps, and are able to help others- You learn quickly that is what fulfills you the most. Sakina departed from the publishing world and transformed her 20 plus year yogi experience into to creating her own yoga practice. Many of us sacrifice for security, even when being an employee may not be what we need or want. However, when you do make that shift towards being a business owner you have to be prepared to expect the unexpected. Regardless of the obstacles and risks, learning something new every day becomes a thrill that gets you closer to realizing your dreams. So, embrace your journey no matter how or when you start!
