THE INTERVIEW:
Q: Why did you decide to begin your own business?
A: As a nurse, turned stay at home mom I came to that crossroads where I wanted to have something of my own but couldn't bare leaving my children. My passion for health and fitness and helping others continued to weigh on my mind, a passion I couldn't shake. I finally realized I could take action or I could one day look back and regret not making a change.
I knew running my own business would be best in order to work around the schedules of my children and a husband that traveled for work. It would also allow me the freedom to to help busy women find the time and a way to make health and fitness a priority in their lives.
While I was still trying to get a handle on how to run a fitness business... I was approached with another business opportunity. I thought no way I have time to take on anything else, but this was an amazing opportunity that I could not pass up. I took the leap and I am grateful I did!
When you begin trusting yourself and putting your ideas into action, you start seeing you have what it takes to be successful. The choice is yours! All it takes is you deciding to Flip the Switch to your goals.
Q: What's one thing about what you do that people might not know?
A: Despite what people may think, fitness trainers have struggles with health + nutrition just like anyone else!
Q: What makes you different from everyone else out there who does what you do?
A: We live in a noisy world. Due to busy schedules, health + fitness are often moved to the bottom of the to-do list. Keeping this in mind, I created a membership that allows women to "Flip the Switch" to health and fitness without having to leave the comfort or convenience of home- both time and cost saving advantages.
Q: What role has taking risks played into your career + business?
A: Learning to take risks in my business has brought me both personal and professional growth. I am also stronger and more confident as a result of taking risks and putting myself out there.
Q: What is the best piece of advice you've ever been given?
A: Imperfect Action Over Perfect Inaction!
Q: What is the single most important factor to your business success?
A: Remembering we all start somewhere. We must make mistakes, learn as we go, take risks and continue to show up even on those days we may not want to.
Q: Do you have a favorite quote or affirmation? What does it mean to you?
A: "You can do hard things." Life is hard. Change is hard. But when you continue to show up and push through the hard, the results will be well worth it!
