One of the most challenging aspects of offering mindfulness programs isn’t establishing a foundational meditation practice, or even progressing through years of training to become a qualified teacher, however difficult those may be. Rather, it’s what you’re not taught in teacher training: the business part. How do you set up a website if you’re not particularly tech savvy? Or scheduling your classes, or accept payments? These tasks are more than a little daunting if you don’t have experience with them. Today’s guests may have an answer for you.
