I never imagined life could be how I’m living it today, building up a coaching, fitness, and travel platform with my partner, surrounded by a team of people whom I admire and respect, with clients that I love and can’t wait to continue getting to know. It certainly has been a long and winding road to get to this point – but I know we’re on the right path!The idea of being an entrepreneur was never something I considered. During college, I found myself learning how to sell to the high profile clientele who came through the jewelry store where I was employed. Eventually I became store manager and worked there for many years. I envisioned a career path as an area manager, managing multiple stores, and set my sights on that.
One day friend invited me to a Pilates class – which I honestly thought was a late-night infomercial product. I was shocked after that class to find out that I loved it! I started taking a Pilates teacher training certification on nights and weekends – which is really where my life began to change.
After my certification I got a teaching position at a large, internationally-known fitness club in LA. Within a few weeks I had a full teaching schedule when my manager pulled me aside and asked me what I was doing that allowed me to fill my schedule. It dawned on me that I was using retail sales tactics. I knew how to talk to my clients, to understand what they wanted, and to sell it to them. I was just selling Pilates workouts now instead of thousand-dollar handbags.
