Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Brianna Norton. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Brianna, looking forward to learning from your journey. You’ve got an amazing story and before we dive into that, let’s start with an important building block. Where do you get your work ethic from?
I learned to work hard from my mom. She is a strong resilient woman who raise two strong successful daughters on her own with little resources.
Following her example of building a career for herself in a time that women rarely did that. She was an outlier.
I’ve done that too with different circumstances. I left a toxic situation to forge a path of success for myself. Hopefully setting an example for my own daughters proliferating strong, successful, fulfilled woman.
I like to work; to feel accomplished and good at what I do. I like helping and serving others to become their best selves and to reach their individual goals and potential.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
My full time job is as sales and operations director for a multi-unit fitness franchise. I also teach the lagree method Pilates at a local Atlanta studio and have a few personal training and yoga students on the side. I like to keep myself busy. If I could do anything without needing to support myself financially I would teach full time and travel.
Lately I’m interested in learning more about wellness travel and how I can incorporate that into my life as a business. I’d like to focus on the fulfillment of the whole person and coach to that in the future. This would include, physical fitness, nutrition, sleep, relationships and doing the things that bring YOU joy and satisfaction, even the hard things. This is even more relevant as we age and there is great opportunity in this space as well
Also thinking about opportunities for nurturing the whole person in the virtual world too.
I’m excited to see what the future holds.
Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
Keep going Perseverance
Resilience
I don’t want to say never give up but only give up when it’s time and you will know.
Failure is an opportunity for success
What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?
Stop and take a break, go for a walk, turn upside down, do an activity, cook, clean, get outside, take in the fresh air and sunshine. Stop doing and just be…the overwhelm will be easier to bite off small pieces later.
