The Drive: What challenges have you overcome?
One of the biggest things we have faced is other people’s opinions. There are always going to be people who think we are mad for not settling for the traditional model of work and business, and to them we are seemingly off just chasing a dream, not a reality, but that is not at all the case. As with any business we have put in the time and effort to build connections, get our brand seen, and get everything set up as we envisioned, and any challenges that we’ve met along the way have really been positives that have allowed us to assess what we are doing, grow as individuals and as a team, and come out with a stronger vision and more purpose than we started with.
For better or worse: What are the pros and cons of running your own business?
A major pro is definitely that we all get to chase our dreams! Each of us has our own reason why we came into business, and each of us has unique strengths and passions that we bring into the online community, as well as to the world in general. This business has also started each of us on a path of personal growth, which at times has been pretty intense, but definitely worth it. This has put us in a position to really go deep and find out what we truly want for the business, and life in general, and that has provided the momentum to keep moving forwards.
Hopes and dreams: What next?
We just want to keep growing so we can support and empower women from anywhere in the world. Our long term vision is to have a big online community, but also to have different locations around the world where women can get together socially, or to workout together, or to work in business together, with the local communities that have formed where they live.
Ultimately we want to build a big team of female health and wellness coaches around the globe, who are as passionate as we are about supporting the health and wellness of others.
The best thing about this is that all of the training and business resources are provided. There are no prerequisites at all, except your desire to use your own experiences to support and coach other women to realise their dreams.
One thing that is set in concrete for our not too distant future is the release of our fitness eBook. This will be tied to either an 8 or 16 week programme, and anyone will be able to use the eBook as a print out, on their phone or tablet, or on a computer. There will be easy to understand guides and video links for each workout, as well as recipes, tips and tricks, and plenty of inspiration. We don’t have a release date for the eBook yet, but it will be very soon, likely in the next couple of months.
