Episode Takeaways
Imposter syndrome is common among Pilates professionals and can be overcome by recognizing the value of one's work and focusing on continuous learning and growth.
Fear of failure is natural but should not prevent Pilates professionals from taking risks and pursuing their goals. It is important to let go of worries and focus on serving the community.
Comparison and competition can be detrimental to one's confidence and growth. Instead of comparing oneself to others, it is more productive to focus on personal development and progress.
Lack of confidence in business skills can lead to poor decision-making. It is important to seek support and continuously learn to navigate the business side of the profession.
Feedback and criticism are valuable for personal and professional growth. Being open to feedback and using it as an opportunity to reflect and improve is crucial for success in the Pilates industry.
