Quotes
“The first impression you make on a person is going to always be there, regardless if it’s good or bad.“
“Self-care was just part of how we were raised. My mother is Serbian and in Serbian culture family and caring for your family is at the root of all that they do. My dad was more of my knowledge-based caretaker whereas my mother was more of my self-care role model.”
“When I was at Lifetime Fitness managing their pilates and yoga program, that was my first experience of seeing my profession as a profession, not just something that I did as a hobby (...) our studio was continually overperforming at 15,000 $ a month (150% of revenue).”
“The skills that I learned at Lifetime Fitness, on how to charge for the value of services, how to hold people accountable to the value that they’re gaining from the services, those really created the foundation of me being able to put it more into a business model.”
“I have to let people know how I can help them, I have to market myself, I have to make those sales calls, I have to find prospects, I have to network (and) partnering with people who have the expertise and holding myself accountable has been my no 1 way to help myself learn and grow and scale.”
“Taking little mindful moments throughout the day is the no 1 thing that most people are able to fit in, and I call these “Zen breaks”. (...) Once you find that, it’s almost like a little puzzle (...), and maybe over time, you stretch your two to four minutes to a fifteen-minute time for yourself.”
