Raising the Bar on the Future of Pilates - Trailer

Hi, My name is Kim Paxton.  I’m a passionate Pilates studio owner, PIlates teacher trainer and business coach.
 
In this podcast, me and my special guests are going to be sharing with you the things that have worked in our businesses, the failures and setbacks, the aha moments, and the hard work that goes into following your passion for helping people move and feel better with Pilates.
 
Running a Pilates business  is so much more than following your passion and hoping for the best. It takes hard work, tenacity and a commitment to staying true to your vision.
 
We’ll be diving deep into the barriers that might be holding you back: Self doubt, perfectionism, fear of failure and lack of resources as well as celebrating the amazing self development and personal growth that comes from running your own business.
 
I can’t wait to dive deep with you into the real deal of owning and operating a Pilates business with  my friends and colleagues from around the Pilates world.
