We were lucky to catch up with Barbara Silva recently and have shared our conversation below.
Barbara , looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Was there a moment in your career that meaningfully altered your trajectory? If so, we’d love to hear the backstory.
While working in sales in South Florida, I discovered yoga. The corporate environment gradually left me feeling burned out and uninterested at work. To relieve the tension and exhaustion, I began taking classes at a nearby studio. I started by taking a class once a week and gradually increased my practice to every day, even sneaking out of work early to join a class with my favorite practitioner. That’s when I realized yoga had taken over as the most important element of my life.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I use social media to advocate healthy living and lifestyle. I believe that social media has the potential to be a great instrument for inspiring and motivating people to live their best lives. I offer my personal yoga, mindfulness, healthy eating, and self-care experiences, insights, and suggestions. Do follow guys!
Also, I work with brands and other influencers who share my beliefs and vision. I am most proud of being able to stand up and represent my way of life and thought through many outlets. Always living in my truth in different atmospheres. That, I believe, distinguishes me from others.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
The most effective strategy for growing my clientele is staying consistent. I use social media as my audience for whatever it is I am doing whether it’s yoga, modeling, branding, marketing, etc. and i’ve noticed the most important thing is staying consistent. You are your own brand first, and showing your audience your personality through your business is the easiest way to show your passion to the world and being genuine rather than transactional.
Training and knowledge matter of course, but beyond that what do you think matters most in terms of succeeding in your field?
Other than training and knowledge, I think continued education is the most helpful for succeeding in my field. Balancing everything I do, you have to put your ego aside and have the “forever a student” mentality. There is ALWAYS room for growth.
