What did you want to be when you grew up?
“Funny you should ask, I remember always telling my Mom I want to be a psychiatrist or psychologist. As a kid, I was very curious and interested in human behavior and I felt like I could help others facilitate their problems. A problem solver. In high school, I was chosen, along with a hand full of other students, to participate in a program called CONFLICT MANAGEMENT. The program was created to defuse situations between students, before it gets bad. As facilitators we would be called out of class and would meet both parties to facilitate and suggest ways to navigate student conflicts, fights, rumors, disagreements.. nothing concerning violence or illegal substances. It was an interesting approach to peers coaching through facilitation. I can't remember if it was a successful program, but I enjoyed the practice.”
What 2020 has taught you about your business?
“Looking in the rear view mirror, 2020 has been a ground-breaking year hasn't it! Hard to believe, I left my corporate job over ten years ago and started a cleaning business from nothing. I wasn't content or getting very far just chasing a corporate paycheck and wanting to make a difference I knew I could! At age 40 I was divorcing and launching myself into being a full-time entrepreneur and it all scared the hell out of me! Ultimately, I knew, I would have to find my something I am passionate about, not chase the money but rather do something I love and that is stepping into being a Personal Trainer/High Performance Coach. This year 2020 particularly has opened my eyes to all the opportunities that are out there... and that I have the ability to create more business, more free time, more clients and money with my passion of helping others live a confident & strong life at any age.”
Anything you want to say to “Women In Business”?
“If it scares the hell out of you… run toward it! What I mean is 'stay out of your own way' if you want to skyrocket your business, relationship or health/fitness. I will always remember hearing, 'very rich and successful people do one thing at a time. They do not multi-task, they focus on one thing from beginning to end. It’s a wonderful and simple way to get things done. That is where you will find your tribe/team.. you don't have to do it all yourself. Focus on what you do best.”
