About
“Life is either a daring adventure
or nothing at all.”
Meet Jane Bahneman
It’s time to run a profitable business.
To turn your passion and your purpose into your life’s work,
you must step into your power as an entrepreneur.
Did you know?
An alarming number (23.2%) of brick-and-mortar businesses fail in YEAR ONE.
That stat increases to a staggering 48.0% failure rate by YEAR FIVE. There are many factors that contribute to this reality.
Operating your business in survival mode stinks, right?
Your business shouldn’t own you. Rather, you should own your brick-and-mortar business – a profitable, fine-tuned wildly profitable business that also provides you personal freedom.
How will I help you?
We’ll implement concrete strategies, systems, and implementation timelines so you WILL achieve your goals.
Why work with me?
For starters, my brick-and-mortar business thrived for over a decade, survived COVID mandates, and expanded its offerings. My bank funded a national commercial during the 2021 Summer Olympics featuring my business’ expansion success story (see it below).
Years before that, I leapt out of the trappings of a corporate life and trusted myself in business – and soared greatly.
As the Founder of Nectar Yoga Studios, I built my brick-and-mortar business from the ground up, building a proven track record of veritable business acumen, unquestionable resilience, and financial success.
I’ve evolved my Nectar Yoga business model now, by choice, and to take on new and exciting professional opportunities. (Yes, you can do all-the-things you desire, but you absolutely cannot do them all at once and expect to thrive.)
I now use much of my time, and my talents, to teach other owners how to achieve brick-and-mortar success. FYI it never “by chance”. Read on.
How does this work? Follow me for 1-2-3.
Step 1. Define what business success means to you. Clarify your “Why?” so your decision-making is fueled by alignment and purpose each day.
Step 2. Address your mindset and mental blocks. (ie. imposter syndrome, scarcity thinking, your worth, accepting risk, personal accountability, your time usage and more)
Step 3. Get to work building fool-proof systems for a) business profitability, b) personal freedom, and c) sustainable success.
I’ll be your accountability partner (that’s 100% key).
If you do the work with me, your brick-and-mortar business will (1) support your priorities and (2) pay you generously.
I’ve sharpened my skill set over many decades. Now I’m using my experience to serve you.
I walk the talk day in and day out.
Are you ready to do this, together?
