It Was Tough, But...

I don't like what I do...I LOVE it...but only because I was willing to TRY, & CRY & FAIL over and over and over again.

First class ever taught...STEP. I was SO BAD everyone stopped coming, so I decided to do my own thing and take some combos from Tae Bo and bootcamp videos I had memorized & made it into a class.

A year after that I found Zumba, 6 years after that I found Coaching....and here I am today, almost 14 years into a "fitness career".

But tbh, it was HARD.

It was HARD getting haters on YT with that stupid thumbs down option (why is that even a thing YT?!)

It was also HARD never having ANY paid time off. I honestly didn't know what PTO stood for until a few years ago

It was HARD when I started my own Online Coaching biz and well, fellow entrepreneurs can admit this but it seems you are paid 10 cents an hour in the beginning...so yea that was tough too when you are USED to being paid when you "clock in"..but trust me, it was worth it.

One thing was ALWAYS constant though.. CHANGE... and hopefully our mindsets are also willing to change and GROW too, because I would have thrown in the towel if I wasn't willing to do the mental work to overcome my fears & TRUST myself to FOLLOW THROUGH.

I say all this bc if you are just starting out or thinking about getting into fitness instructing, personal training or Online Coaching I want you to remember that all things WORTH working for take time, consistency and a WHOLE Lotta faith that what you are doing is EXACTLY what you should be doing.

You might not feel it yet, but KEEP GOING. Keep showing up and if ya need any help I'm here for ya. We already know what life looks and feels like when you quit, but what about life when you don't quit?? What do you think that could look like and feel like?? Worth it!?!? Yea, I'd say so.
