When you support a local person you usually then support a local family and that local person will too understand the value of supporting local business and trades.
When you buy a commercial gym pass the owners are either not based in Aberystwyth or they collect a wage.
In the past I’d get paid for a class no matter how many people attended,
I have shown up to a class and just 3 of us that have participated and I have had 30 x that.
Truth is its not the numbers that matters to a self employed coach, its the connection she makes to her clients, the community she builds and the trust she earns that matters most to her.
After all these years I get a bit nervous too - will they show up and support me, will I find people that will allow me in? Trust in my ability to coach, to help them initiate change and help them fire up their motivation.. 💪
I have learnt I’m like marmite and that not everyone will want to be in my tribe but for many I am the coach they have been looking for, my community is also the glue that will help make it stick.
“She wants to join but shes scared of you”
“Im just not feeling motivated”
“Its not the right time”
“Ive joined ❌ commercial gym”
Heard it all but when local people come together we can make a real difference - I have built strong friendships within the community, we have raised 1000s of pounds, and have found people who want to be around me - who love my classes, and realised that my goal is always to help and not scare them. 😆
And that my life 6 years after forming bdfitness has changed too and I need my clients and they usually come my way because they need me too. ❤️
I don’t have a full time job and do this on the side - this is my passion - my community, classes and my girls are my focus 💪
But being a self employed person takes courage, hard work and determination and the ability to keep going in the face of failure but on the flip side feel sooo proud of things your able to help change and help other people achieve
First class kicked off yesterday and today is Fit for life in Penrhyn @ 4.15 pm
Looking forwards to helping build confidence, habits, and change
- sometimes we need people in our life that bring out positive actions, habits and feelings and investing in a coach and a community like BDF is doing just that 🔥🔥
