We had the good fortune of connecting with Iyanla Santana and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Iyanla, what do you attribute your success to?
Mindset and confidence. Two of the things I prioritize in my life to help me gain success with my brand. My ability to be confident within and my self helps channel my creative energy. On set that a positive, abundant mindset helps me appreciate where I am and give me faith on soon where I will be.
Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Mind elevation through body transformation is my mission with my brand and platforms. What sets me apart from others is my coachable, witty, comical spirit. I am able to reach others so they can hear and see fitness from a new lens. It not Something that you need to do because you want to only look good, but I encourage and inspire people to learn into fitness because it unlocks new areas in your mind to expand and grow finically, energetically and overall with more confidence in all aspects of life.
I am where I am today professionally because I made a plan, wrote it out and checked off on things I needed to do each day to get closer to my dreams, whether it was to complete my personal training examination or if it was to learn more about the social media algorithms I had a plan and sticked to it. Also the spirtual aspects as far a faith, and deep prayer for guidance and creative expression.
I want the world to know that this is only the beginning of my brand YANABOO aka theworkoutsuregon, my goal is to create and not compete this is a brand that helps inspire people to grow mentally through transformation of your physical essence.
Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
“Have faith, and go after your dreams” – @JMBJUVIE on Instagram, a special friend and overall a great artist called and told me this. I want to shoutout @JMBjuive for his heart felt words. Within his messages I am able to see that miracles do happen when one believes and trust in the process. He relates back and says that once he had nothing but he dropped it all and relied on faith and put in the work and now he is on his way to major success dominating the music industry.
This plays a huge role in my story because it helps me stay motivated and honestly words are my thing once someone says something I try to listen. So far those words have changed a lot for my life I believe in me more and I understand to never get distracted by the anomaly’s of this now new adulting life.
