I’m Milena. I binge-live freedom and impact
(For better or worse, Usually better! 😉)
When I was 24, I turned down fancy corporate job offers to become a yoga teacher.
My (very Asian) parents were like, “You… what?!” but I was stubborn, so I pushed on.
I poured my entire savings into building my own yoga studio - only to shut it down 2 years later because I was broke. (I paid myself a mere $250 a month - for two years.)
It took me months (and a dozen Netflix series) to recover from this failure.
But I learned 3 important things:
“Do what you love and money will follow” is a lie.
There’s a big, BIG difference between being a yoga teacher and running a yoga business. (Likewise, a big difference between being a coach and running a coaching business.)
Having business support isn’t optional. It’s an absolute 1,000% must.
It was December 2016, and I had a choice: to find a real job or give myself another chance at doing my own thing.
I was afraid to fail again, but the thought of working in a cubicle for some white man’s dream felt like beating my soul to death with my own shoes.
So, I bet on myself one more time and started a coaching business.
Armed with my 3 lessons from the yoga studio failure, the first thing I did was to hire a business coach.
The second thing I did was to learn everything under heaven about the business side of things.
The third thing I did was to coach my asses off.
7 years, some major f***-ups (including that 1 time losing $10,000), 3 TEDx talks, 1 published book, 50,000 followers, and hundreds clients (from 20+ countries) later…
I now make a multi-six-figure living as a coach while spending most of my time walking barefoot in my apartment. #introvertgoal
Not only that, I get to do what lights me up, make a difference, and have all the freedom I want. (I’m sloth-writing this on my bed at 4:08 pm while sipping guava kombucha and gazing at the lush green hill from my bedroom window.)
You want that too? Good. I love working with fellow purpose-driven, freedom-seeking, hustle-hating humans.
I get to help you discover your coaching niche (aka the unique gift that makes you stand out from the sea of coaches.) Turn that into attractive coaching offers. Enroll soulmate clients without the yuck. Put yourself out there in ways that feel good (and make you money, too!)
AND transform every inner block that comes up along the way (imposter syndromes, money mindset, fear of visibility - just to name a few) - so that every week goes by, you’ll feel more like the incredible human you know you are. (And your boyfriend/husband/child will thank me.)
My greatest joy (other than gazing at the ocean in a work-cation in Bali) is getting messages like these from you: “I just enrolled another client!” “My client told me I changed their life!” “I finally quit my job. I can’t believe how free I feel!”
Want me on your Success Team? (Trust me, you need one.)
