CSM Game-Changer Issue with Cristiano Ronaldo 2019 BODY ISSUE - Gerardo Gabriel | Page 76

CSM: Work-wise, what does it take to be suc-
cessful in this type of profession?
BRITTANY: You have to have a passion for it.
You have to have a tough skin. You have to have
patience and a sense of direction. In addition
to all of that, self-care. In something that is so
physically demanding, you have to be sure you
are mentally taking care of yourself. Take time
to relax and unwind. Pursue other interests like
music, traveling, spending time with your friends
and family, whatever your other interests are that
make you feel balanced. There’s so much more
to life than just this industry alone.
CSM: What is your great advice to those who
will venture this kind of work?
BRITTANY: Find your “why”. If you understand
why you want to pursue this, you will better un-
derstand what direction you want to go with it,
and it will dictate the decisions you make.
CSM: Cast a magic spell and wave your magic
wand, where do you see yourself ten years from
now?
BRITTANY: I see myself as the first blind IFBB
bikini pro. I see myself still doing personal train-
ing, as well as working as a counselor in an agen-
cy type setting. I also see myself with my own
apparel line. That has been a recent goal I added
to my list.
You have
to always
be open
to learning in
order to be
better, and you
have to be able
to admit that
you don’t know
everything. It’s
also okay to ask
for advice from
other respected
professionals. “
