I give her credit for bucking the trends, taking risks and trying something for herself. I think where she f*cked up was trying to do things that had been done 300 times before, by all those other teachers. She didn't find any way to stand out from the crowd. And sure, plenty of entitlement sprinkled in there....I like how she got fired from her job, rather than have a set of balls and quit, and dedicate herself 100% to yoga.

People often fail due to lack of a plan and/or lack of innovation. She was obviously the latter.

If I remember correctly couldn't you collect unemployment for up to 3 years back then?

Yeah & NYC is a REALLY bad market to get into something like that b/c it's too saturated. There's probably 10,000 or more yoga instructors in the NYC area all competing for the same customers. She woulda likely been better off to start off in a smaller town. Always research the competition when you're looking to start a business in any market. If it's saturated then you're likely going to fail unless your product is extremely innovative and your competitors are offering nothing like it.
