We were lucky to catch up with Stephanie Mordes recently and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Stephanie thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Before we get into specifics, let’s talk about success more generally. What do you think it takes to be successful?

My favorite saying is “The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary!” Motivation, organization, vigilance, dedication, hard work and not letting anyone kill your groove is the key to success. If I counted how many times I have been put down, mislead, lied to. made mistakes, laughed at or dissapointed I wouldn’t be here telling my tale. I have learned that those negative energies have created opportunity for my growth, strength and success. What other people think or do is really none of my business.

Stephanie, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I have always had a passion for health! I am nutrition certified, licensed therapist and have various fitness certifications ranging from Pilates, Lagree, Personal Training, Indoor Cycling, Yoga, Strength, Aqua, Zumba, Kangoo, Cancer Exercise, Myofascial, Powerplate, Functional Training, TRX and the list goes on! Having owned 4 fitness studios and my own private brand doing inhouse training for professional athletes, CEO’s, celebrities, community leaders, and some of the biggest badasses of the world! From training clients for decades you become family members and thats how things came to fruition. I had an incredible client (who is still a dear friend) who’s husband unfortunately passed away and she had a HUGE home in Jupiter. She believed in me and gave me an opportunity that changed my path which opened my next chapter that created “The Healthy Lifestyle Specialist”. I realized that I had been in all the luxury country clubs and areas in Palm Beach County. I knew all the different amenities, communities, lifestyles, property types, neighborhoods, shops, restuarants, secrets, who’s who, who wants to move, who wants in. I was a realestate, fitness, lifestyle concierge! I knew what personality, lifestyle, needs and how to place them in properties that suit! BRILLIANT and off I went building my own realestate group/empire! I started out being Founder/Principle of Palm Beach and Treasure Coast Living which has turned into THE FLORIDA COASTAL GROUP//COMPASS

What’s been the best source of new clients for you?

Referrals is my number one source!

How do you keep in touch with clients and foster brand loyalty?

I make sure to always call, send notecards and visit at least once a year with all clients. Honestly they are NOT just clients they have become friends and family!
