DISILLUSIONMENT LEADS TO SUCCESS

Submitted by Katie Dixon on November 27, 2009 – 7:54 amOne Comment

Will Smith has always been amazing to me, but after this video I have a profound admiration for him.

Because I am starting a new business I am constantly looking for inspiration. A good friend of mine, Jeff Holt,  has quickly become a great mentor. He has taught me a great deal about building a business by combining both passion and insanity. Yep, insanity…

Like Will said, “realism only leads to mediocracy.” The greatest inventions were not “realistic” at the time they were created.

(Scroll up for Will Smith’s Video on Success).

I am also a strong believer in impacting the lives of others. I want to share the amazing feeling that completely consumes my heart with the people who take my classes. It’s funny, but by simple observation I believe that I can see it “click” with them. Every once in awhile, while I am teaching, I witness a look of complete joy in the moment, and I know that every ounce of pain or stress that person has felt that day is completely gone. I pray that the feeling of peace lasts long past the workout, but if not I am happy knowing that I was able to help that person if even for only one hour.

When people ask me what kind of business I am opening I respond, “a fitness studio.” I try to explain that it’s much more than that, but the classes and services I offer are a completely different concept than the average person “gets.” I know they will have to experience it for themselves to understand it. Otherwise to them I am disillusioned… but I am ok with that.

    Katie & Friends,

    You have inspired me and been my motivation from day one!! I can’t begin to express how much you have impacted my life! You see, I had a gym membership for 4 years, but rarely went. It was not until Kardiodance, that I became hooked for life!! To combine a workout with dance was pure genius! Not just any dance, but dance with a twist of Katie (she has her own personalized style), one that you can’t get anywhere else! I highly recommend all of her classes: Kardiodance, Team Zumba, Bogafit-just simply Kadifit all together!! :) When taking her classes you definitely forget about all your worries and stress! It is as if you don’t have a care in the world. Katie is a positive role model and a has a huge influence on her students lives! Katie, you always have a radiant smile, charisma, energy, and definitely bring the dance moves!!
