Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My inspiration is to help those who have struggled with following a fitness routine and overcoming a fear of the pool thru aqua fitness without judgement. Aqua Fitness is more than moving in the pool for exercise, it creates a sense of community and fellowship for those that attend. It provides mental and physical stimulation of the mind and body. Im inspired by my mom 82 yrs old who attends class twice weekly and all those who come to me for help with mobility or health related issues.

How do you stay motivated?

I stay motivated knowing that I will make a difference in how someone feels when attending my class. The feeling I get when I play a role in helping others overcome their fear of a pool and drowning. By making them comfortable, to keep them calm. Gaining trust in me to help them to tackle, achieve and overcome their fear gives me and them upmost feeling that they can conquer all obstacles faced once you try. This keeps me motivated to help others.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to expand my business to be able to purchase equipment to assist those that have disabilities and special needs to be able to attend classes and to invest in my business by maintaining my education in aquatics to stay up to date with the aquatics industry standards with continuing education credits.
