There are no nonsense approach toward fitness made Michaels one of the most coveted international weight loss experts after just one season of the hit NBC -- I demand people put in their backs because I knew that they know they have it.

I don't have sympathy for them I don't tell them just take the stairs.

So what I'm demanding her -- -- kicking and screaming I'm asking them for a lot.

In the back of their mind they know that I believe it.

I know that they can do it and they step up and bring them fast.

And people respect me because I expect that.

But celebrity is a reality TV show trainer was never the end all be all for Michael's.

Harking back to her original goal of building a multifaceted wellness platform Michaels hopes to parlay her new found fame into a profitable business.

I've never had a business lines that's that's not who I ask you what I do is helping to educate.

And motivate people to change their lives.

But I knew that I wanted to -- still it's a wellness empire with which to get -- message out.

Surround yourself with people who have strengths where you.

Some kind of runs the entire business aspect of harboring.

And then what does that mean is -- allows me.

Soon to be glance and you like if I wanna write a book about leaving your dreams He is out my way you let me write that book.

But if He comes to me and says we're building a digital platform with XYZ company and the falling suite of experts say.

-- -- -- With her own fitness equipment sneaker line -- video games dvds and to New York Times best selling books this so called empire Michaels once dreamed of as well on its way.

In choosing a business strategy -- -- sage decided they would exclusively licensed their own products rather than endorse others.

That the reason that we licensing deals person's endorsement deals is so.

We control products I know what kind of close I want I know that I want to be comfortable that -- -- -- be affordable and it is static and I'm looking for.

I'm not up -- and or somebody else's vision but building a lucrative business hasn't been without hurdles -- several occasions where.

We've got railroaded earlier on in our company and kind of bullied into making decisions.

Diet we weren't so sure about.

And lesson learned I wished I -- -- and we -- kind of -- -- -- I wish -- had pictures.

It was a number one complaint I happen to attic of the big picture.

And that's really where my success has been looking at all the times -- sales.

And coming without much wiser -- the next opportunity comes from like.

In a male dominated field Michaels has always seen her gender as a way to set herself apart.

When you're a woman.

Backs.

Shines even though -- -- you get a lot of lives because there aren't mentally so you can take any negative and turn them -- If it's a male dominated field and you're gonna have the ability to stand out with less competition.

Anything that you look at life -- being dogs or activity is really just an opportunity.

So it's a male dominated field that means there's room for a woman to come up in the Xbox.
