My Advice
Forge real-world teaching relationships and be ready to ask customers about their personal goals.
What made us originally successful was our persistent as well as consistent work ethics. We developed a schedule for our vlogs: Motivation Monday was devoted to another woman’s success story, Tone It Up Tuesday would feature a new workout, Wednesday was Wild Wednesday where anything goes, Thirsty Thursday was reserved for healthy cocktails, and We Love Food Friday was dedicated to a new cooking video. Whenever anyone asks us how we got started, we say consistency: You just have to keep going – if no one watches in the beginning, it’ll pick up.
