Share your story. What inspires you? How has your journey helped you create WHO you are today? What’s your purpose in life?

The life people live is what inspires me to do what I do today. It’s very important for me to provide service when it comes to helping each individual face challenges in health, fitness, and overall wellbeing. My journey is based upon the quality I can give to each client along the way. Everyone is different, everyone has their good and bad days, everyone is special, everyone has their challenges, and everyone is important. This is what makes me explore and learn how I can be a better person everyday.

How do your teammates, coaches, and the Mastermind continue to inspire you?

Todd, Coach Frank and Larry, and my teammates help me feel optimistic about my journey in the health and fitness business.  They provide me with the passion it takes to be successful.  They provide accurate information to the challenges and obstacles that I encounter daily.  Overall, they are my lifeline in my personal and business venture.

How has Todd’s leadership, coaching, and motivation personally or professionally helped you?

Todd has become an important figure in my business and life.  Before we knew each other he provided me with the vision years ago at a pre-con I attended that made me jump to the next step and open my own studio. He made me dream big, he made me feel like anything is possible, he supported my mistakes and made me learn how to face adversity. Todd understands me personally by providing quality information that is above and beyond what I could ask for.

What one piece of advice would you provide for a young fitness professional who is just starting out?

Here are some tips for the young entrepreneurs. Have a family of supporters that understand what your visions are. Be resilient, always provide service, and have a purpose in business and life. Lastly, BE YOU and not someone else.
How about one piece of advice you would offer a seasoned-savvy fitness pro?
For the savvy entrepreneurs. Don’t be in the business to compete, but to support other entrepreneurs and learn how to succeed with what you are best at. Never be comfortable in business; be on ahead of the trend. Lastly, dream beyond your dreams to succeed.
