Have you ever created an app before?  The women I interview this week has done just that with her husband.  This is a whole different kind of business than any other I have featured before.  This is a power packed interview with a smart, passionate, high-energy entrepreneur.  Lean in and learn all about FitKrasia from Karina Ballantyne! 

Karina was born to move. An athlete and dancer from as early as I can remember, exercise and movement has always been a source of joy and strength. After graduating from UCSB with a degree in Psychology I chose to pursue personal training as a career to share that joy with others. I moved to Santa Barbara to attend SBCC for two years to study in Exercise Physiology and become certified with the American College of Sports Medicine. I use Foundation Training, Pilates, and Restorative Exercise, to improve the health and wellbeing of my amazing clients. I believe movement is a critical component of optimum mental and emotional health.

 

As a movement educator, my focus is on whole body alignment restoration and habit renovations. As a coach I’ve learned that even the best modalities and techniques don't help people unless they actually do them - consistently! I wanted a smarter way to incentivize my clients (and myself) to create healthier habits for a long lifetime of fitness. In September my husband and I began creating a tool to help empower others to empower themselves. FitKrasia is the result. The game combines tried and tested techniques for positive behavior modification into an easy to play app. With FitKrasia we aim to help people create an environment and lifestyle for improved well-being.

Owner of Ruby Lee's Kitchen- Catering from The Heart

Trevia is a mother of two, a 21-year-old girl that's a senior in college and a 10-year-old boy that's in the 4th grade.

Trevia has been catering for 14 years and will do anything from a romantic dinner for two all the way to feeding 800 people! Her motto is, “no party is too big or small”. She is diverse in her offerings, she can prepare vegan, vegetarian and gluten free, you name it she can do it. Her store front, Ruby Lee's Kitchen, is a sandwich shop and they have 5 different sandwiches you can chose from with daily specials.

Trevia originally started in the insurance field paying medical and dental claims. She continued in that field before transitioning into the mortgage industry while at the same time building her catering business. 3 years ago, Trevia decided to step out in faith and focus on her catering full time. Then in August of 2017 an opportunity fell into her lap that she knew was nothing short of God. She had a chance to open up a storefront and she named it after her grandmother who she cooked with all the time. In January of 2018 she officially opened Ruby Lee's Kitchen with a goal to feed the community healthier options. Trevia is doing just that! Currently Ruby Lee’s Kitchen is the only restaurant within a 5-mile radius to offer a healthy alternative for lunch.

It is my honor to share this wonderful, persistent, hard-working woman with you in this small business owner interview today!

The Cost Question by Drew T. Jackson

I am a dreamer by nature. I love to dream of what could be. I always want to be forward looking and forward thinking. I never want to get stuck in the past and I want to help others do the same. Your dream has power. It can inspire you. It can empower you. But will it reward you? One of the most impactful trainings I have received in my journey of dream acquisition is John Maxwell's book titled, Put Your Dream To The Test. I want to take some time and lead you through this training by helping you answer 10 essential questions if you are going to achieve your dream.

Most people fail to realize their potential because their dream remains hypothetical. Put Your Dream to the Test takes your dream from ethereal to achievable. I will teach you the principles that Dr. John C. Maxwell has lived out to show you how to crystallize your vision and galvanize your commitment by instructing you how to answer 'yes' to questions like:

- Is my dream really my dream?

- Am I depending on factors in my control to achieve my dream?

- Do I have a strategy to achieve my dream?

- Have I included the people I need to realize my dream?

- Am I willing to pay the price for my dream?

- Does my dream benefit others?
