Yoga For the Mind: Saying Yes

Last week while sick with a protracted cold, I made a decision. I’m ready to reopen my consulting business.

While talking with one of my mentors, I realized, AGAIN, how much business I’d been turning down by saying ‘no’ to consulting work to do coaching and web work. (A shocking dollar amount.)
