Christie, a personal trainer from Australia, tells Marie Forleo she's stuck in paralysis by analysis trying to scale her business without losing herself. She wants B-School to give her the confidence, clarity, and community to share her knowledge and empower women to live their dreams.
Hi Marie, I'm Christie from Australia. I'm a personal trainer and I own my own small and successful business. 2014, where to get started? I really feel that this is my time, but in saying that, I also feel that it's my 11th hour. I do not want to wake up in 5 years' time and have a regret that I've tried nothing at all. I've allowed paralysis by analysis for far too many years now, and I've also allowed my business to be more like a punch-on, punch-off I am overwhelmed in where to get started to get myself out of this position, and I'm also afraid of losing the true essence of who I am in the midst of all that. I love my clients, I love the industry I'm in, but I know there's so much more that I could be doing and sharing, and so many more people that I could be connecting to. My life experience, my life story, and my knowledge is the product that I have to share. I just don't know how to bundle it all together and present it as a business, but a business that has an authenticity to it. It's honest and integral and is empowering to women to actually want to step up and live the life of their dreams and to their full potential, all the while, while I do that myself. Confidence, knowledge, clarity, and motivation, and community is what I need, and I know that B-School B-School and you have what I want. I'd like to thank you for the opportunity, not just for myself but for everybody out there, and I hope to be in B-School real soon. Mwah!
