We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Gabi Metz. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Gabi below.
Hi Gabi, we’re so appreciative of you taking the time to share your nuggets of wisdom with our community. One of the topics we think is most important for folks looking to level up their lives is building up their self-confidence and self-esteem. Can you share how you developed your confidence?
My confidence and self-esteem was always very low growing up, I constantly compared myself to other people and as a result never felt good enough.
It wasn’t until I started coaching and getting coached by life, parent and business coaches did my confidence increase as I was put into rooms with people who reflected back to me how awesome I actually was.
This has been instrumental in growing and building my confidence as an entrepeneur.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
I’m Gabi, a digital and social media marketer with over 15 years of experience.
I’ve served 200+ online yoga teachers from every corner of the globe, and am a mom to two little humans and a yoga teacher myself.
During the pandemic I lost all my teaching jobs, and like many other yoga teachers was forced to take my business online (which proved a bit tricky for a hot yoga teacher). As soon as I moved online my business took off and my Zoom rooms were full. I had many Yogi friends asking how I was doing this and as I helped them I realized this was my calling and how I wanted to share the power of yoga with people who need it most.
And so my business, The Content Yogi was born.
My mission is to help yoga teachers and wellness coaches spread the power of yoga and collectively raise global consciousness around the world. I believe teachers need to market themselves better to reach more students online which is why I am so passionate about leveraging the power of free social networks to help them do this.
After working with these incredible yoga teachers, helping them level up their Instagram game and even transitioning their yoga businesses fully online, I’ve learned a thing or two about what yoga teachers need to make serious sales on socials.
This is also why I created my signature content Program Post with Purpose, because I wholeheartedly believe that every single yoga teacher out there deserves the chance to effortlessly make fun, easy sales on their socials.
This is an Instagram content solution for yoga teachers and wellness coaches to learn a content strategy for effortlessly creating content that attracts dream students, drives sales on repeat, and fills your DM’s with clients asking “Can I have the booking link please?”
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
1. Truthfully believing that where you are right now is enough. You don’t need fancy phones, a pretty house, and lots of followers, people appreciate the real and raw journey and even if it’s hard for you to see it – YOU ARE ENOUGH right now where you are.
2. It gets to work when you decide it works. I have had so many “failed” launches, clients defaulting on payments and hate in the comments, and all of this has increased my capacity to hold more. You don’t get to skip the hard stuff and when you see it as “things re working and his is something I need to learn” instead of “I suck and everything is out to get me” your entire business and life will shift!!
3. Get in rooms with people who are already where you want to be. Unfortunately friends and family may not quite get your vision of what you want to do and that’s not their fault, the problem is that when you surround yourself with people who only see potential problems with your chosen path, then you set yourself up for failure. The moment you get inside a room with someone who is where you want to be, is the moment you ground into your personal power because you can learn how to do it 10x faster.
As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?
I love Amanda Frances and her book “Rich as F*ck” it has transformed my relationship with money and changed the way that I manage it and spend it. Your money mindset can hold you back from so much when you are constantly wired to scarcity mode, and this book opened my eyes to what is possible.
