Since I first started my business in London, I’ve learnt so much about myself. And so many people came to me to ask for advice: “How did you do it?”.

Sometimes all we need is a kick in the pants. Because fear – my friend – is the only thing that can stop us from achieving our dreams.

And I can honestly put my hand up and say that YES – sometimes I (and only I) was the only obstacle standing between me and my dream.

Is the timing right to start a business? Perhaps I’m too young, too inexperienced, I don’t have enough business connections, where shall I start from?

This is a time where I experienced the biggest conflict in my life until that point: shall I come back home to my family business OR shall I start out in the unknown, in a foreign country where I have zero connections and no clue where to start from?

The thought of leaving everything behind and starting from scratch was scary as hell.

Whenever we have a big goal we set for ourselves, we can be certain that our friend Fear will soon knock on the door.

All these worries, doubts and concerns crossing my head would sometimes drive me crazy!

My huge enthusiasm for my idea was mixed with fear.

I felt torn between my vision and my anxiety.

I experienced endless optimism but also risk adversity.

Sleepless nights, mixed feelings, moments when I felt like giving up… been through it all!

Quiet times were over for me.

BUT… I had an itch: to improve the quality of people’s lives.

I knew I can show people a route to FUN body transformation, so they can escape the intimidating gym environments.

I knew that my solution can help make a massive difference in the lives of many.
So I just made a decision.

It was scary as hell, but I decided to go for it. In the blink of the eye. In a heartbeat.

I decided to take a leap of faith and dive into the unknown.

I left my home country and family behind (even though everyone thought I was crazy to do it!).

Moved to London to start a new life. And followed my dream.

It was the scariest decision I ever took – but looking back, without this one decision I wouldn’t be where I am today.

The fitness concept I created won the Best Business Growth award in the UK and was invited to speak and empower young entrepreneurs across the country to start their own businesses.

Fast forward to now, aged 28 – I’m continuing my work in Bucharest where I run my own successful body transformation centre that helped melt 4,000 kilograms of fat already, organised seminars that impacted 10,000+ people, plus I’m invited to speak to others about business as a speaker & mentor on stages across the world and was privileged enough to win 3 awards for my business and be featured in Forbes 30 under 30.

And I have no words to express how grateful I am for all the wonderful gifts life has offered me.

The moral of the story?

So many people say they want to live their dreams, but are to afraid to take a chance on themselves.

I don’t want you to want to be one of them.

More often than not we postpone change, waiting for the “right time” to come.

So…

It’s fine to be aware of your fears so you can start releasing them, but do not give them power. Observe them, but know they do not define you.

Instead…

Give your big goals, dreams & visions for the future all the power they need and they’ll be the ones propelling you forward.

When you believe in your dreams more than you believe your fears, magic & miracles happen. Everything flows, you feel aligned and a powerful force inside of you fires you up and pulls you forward in ways you couldn’t even imagine were possible.

Have the courage to dream of a bigger life.  Have the courage to dream & imagine yourself beyond your limitations.

Believe in your dreams MORE than you believe in your fears.
