A "Yoga-as-Business" Metaphor

When I first started learning yoga, I was stunned at how holding my body still in a pose could appear so effortless from the outside, but feel so intense on the inside.

As I was going through my series of yoga poses this morning, I thought about how learning to be a business owner is similar.

For years, I used to look at successful people who own their own businesses and think that they made it look so effortless. But just like practicing yoga, it only appears to be effortless from the outside. On the inside, both require strength, discipline, and focus.
