Meet Andrea Mayard

We had the good fortune of connecting with Andrea Mayard and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Andrea, we’d love to hear about how you approach risk and risk-taking.

Embracing Risk is My Pathway to Growth and Opportunity.

Risk-taking, for many, is a complex concept often intertwined with uncertainty and fear. However, viewing risk through a balanced lens helps me to reveal its potential as a powerful catalyst for growth and opportunity. As a moderate risk-taker, I’ve come to understand that dreams are worth pursuing, and the calculated risks I choose to embrace serve as stepping stones toward achieving them.

In my personal and professional life, taking moderate risks has been instrumental in opening doors to new possibilities. These risks are not reckless; instead, they are carefully considered decisions that weigh potential rewards against possible setbacks. By adopting this approach, I’ve allowed myself the freedom to explore new avenues and take advantage of opportunities that might otherwise remain hidden. This mindset has taught me that while not every risk will lead to immediate success and some may lead to failure, each one offers valuable lessons that contribute to personal and professional growth.

Moreover, it is my belief that smart risk-taking has the power to catapult us to new heights. It requires a blend of intuition, strategic planning, and a willingness to step outside of our comfort zones. By calculating the risks and preparing for various outcomes, I’ve been able to navigate challenges with confidence and resilience. This approach has not only enhanced my decision-making skills but also fortified my belief in my capabilities. Embracing risk, when done thoughtfully, can lead to transformative experiences that redefine our boundaries and push us toward our true potential.

As I continue to pursue my dreams, I am reminded that the journey is as important as the destination. Each risk taken is a testament to my commitment to growth and my belief in the opportunities that lie ahead. In this dance with risk, I find not only the chance to achieve my goals but also the courage to dream even bigger.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?

I am thrilled to share more about my business, a venture that goes beyond the conventional boundaries of fitness and wellness. What truly sets me apart is my unwavering dedication to my clients’ entire lives, not just the hour they spend with me in the gym. My mission is to foster a holistic approach that nurtures the mind, body, and soul, ensuring that each person experiences sustainable and enjoyable growth.

The path to where I am today has been anything but easy. Like any entrepreneurial journey, it has been filled with challenges and setbacks. However, each obstacle has been an opportunity to adapt and pivot, allowing me to naturally find ways to make life and business flourish. These experiences have taught me invaluable lessons in resilience and innovation, shaping the way I approach both personal and professional endeavors.

I am deeply committed not only as a fitness mentor but also as a business guide and role model for my children and women entrepreneurs striving to make their mark. My brand is your brand too. It’s a reflection of my multifaceted identity as a mom, a friend, a business owner, and a sister. It’s an invitation into a modern, sophisticated, and lived-in experience where a community of women support and empower one another through life’s journey.

I want the world to know that this brand is a beacon for women to thrive, empower, and transform from the inside out. It’s not just about building muscle or burning fat; it’s about creating a life that is vibrant, fulfilling, and balanced. I am proud to be part of a community where women can find strength in each other and power through life together, embracing every aspect of who they are and what they can achieve.

Through my business, I aim to inspire women everywhere to realize that they too can achieve greatness, not just in fitness but in every facet of their lives. Together, we are creating a legacy of empowerment and transformation that resonates far beyond the gym.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
Although I live in Argyle, Texas about an hour outside of Dallas and 40 min to Fort Worth I would spend a few days in each City exploring all of it’s uniqueness and the flavors of Texas.

In Dallas I would take the more sophisticated route and try our Monarch restaurant in the Thompson building downtown and then taking myself to the spa inside the Crescent hotel. Don’t forget to spend some time at the famous North park mall.

I’d then spend a few nights in Fort Worth at the stockyards staying at the Drover hotel. Grab yourself a horseback ride and don’t forget to go to Joe T’s for their famous margaritas and exceptional outdoor scenery. Bring cash though as they don’t accept CC.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Shoutout to My Parents: The True Pillars of My Journey

For me, the foundation of my journey and the resilience I carry today can be traced back to the unwavering support and inspiration provided by my parents.

Growing up, I had the privilege of witnessing my father’s relentless dedication as he built his business from the ground up, starting in the humble confines of his garage. His journey was not just about entrepreneurial success, but also about showing me the power of perseverance, grit, and the pursuit of one’s dreams. Watching him navigate the challenges and triumphs of entrepreneurship instilled in me a deep understanding of what it means to pursue one’s passion with resilience.

Both of my parents, through their hard work and determination, have been exemplary role models. Their commitment to their life dreams and business ventures has been a guiding light for me. It is through their example that I learned the importance of embracing both the rises and falls that inevitably come with taking risks. Without their influence, I may not have had the courage to rebuild my business, not once, but for the third time, armed with the lessons learned from each previous endeavor.

In dedicating this shoutout to my parents, I express my deepest gratitude for their love and mentorship. Their journey has not only shaped my path but has also empowered me to follow in their footsteps, believing in my ability to create and succeed. Their legacy of resilience continues to inspire me every day, and for that, I am eternally thankful.
