5 years todayā
5 years since I decided to jump.
5 years since I cried to
@socialmediasof , convinced no one would take my classāand Iād be lucky to have two students.
5 years since I cried to my cousin
@tylerelisededel , terrified to post my very first social media assets to promote my POP Pilates classes.
5 years since I spent my days so worried about what people would think of me.
This account used to be
@luigifitsta , and five years ago I ran #POPwithPosadas as a business online. I was my own teamāI made my own assets, built my own business plan, invested in certifications, and put myself out there from scratch, with no studios beside me, in the middle of a global pandemic.
Looking back⦠what a journey itās been. Because of your love and support, I taught Zoom classes on my own for two straight years. I worked tirelessly to build my brand and my classes.
I lived with so much fear, anxiety, and impostor syndrome:
āWhat if no one takes my classes?ā
āWhat if no one likes me?ā
āWhat if I donāt last in this industry?ā
But then I started asking: What if I DO make it?
Five years laterāwriting this with tears in my eyesāIām grateful I didnāt quit. Iām grateful that on the days I doubted myself most, I shouted, āI CAN DO THIS,ā set my fears aside, and kept moving forward.
Iāve met the most incredible people along the way, and it still blows my mind that I get to call my one true passion my careerāhelping others move, feel strong, and become their best selves. Thatās been the goal since day one. ā¤ļø
If youāve been here for five yearsāor five daysāthank you for being part of this journey. ā¤ļø Itās been a wild ride, and weāre just getting started.
