#8 - Podcast Brendan Walsh, I Gave My Brother My Gym
I had one conversation with my brother prior to handing him my business and this is it. I’ve always strongly believed in the principles from books like “The 4 Hour Work Week” by Tim Ferriss and “Anything You Want” by Derek Sivers. But how can you say you believe anything if your actions don’t support your words? Most people confuse Leadership with Management. Leadership is giving responsibility to people so they can grow while management is taking it away, often unnecessarily for your own ego. I believe that if you’re a truly great leader you don’t need to micromanage and the people you choose can lead themselves if the environment is right. This conversation was before I started travelling and we’ve barely spoken since. I’ve left him at it. By all metrics the business is in a better position than when I left and Brendan has purchased numerous new pieces of equipment. I don’t like the “hustle” or “grind” culture espoused today, I think 99% of it is fake and ego driven. Of course I worked hard and made some good decisions to build my business but I’m not special, loads of others work just as hard as me. In this podcast I talk about the daily running of my business, how to start a business from scratch with no money, what daily tasks are required and how I created 100% Personal Training. The goal of this conversation was to leave Brendan confident he could do the same. If you’ve ever wondered exactly how my business works, this podcast is for you :- The difference between being a personal trainer and running a business How I opened the business 100% Personal Training is not set up to make money, it was set up to have fun as a hobby and spend time doing something I loved Zero marketing whatsoever What does the day to day look like, ask someone you know for some help when you need it Consultation process, diet history, exercise history, health history, supplements Why the gym is the stimulus to improve all health How to help people believe in themselves Leadership versus manipulation, Jocko Willink Powerful Questions “When were you in your best shape of your life?” “What’s the dream end result?” 10% bodyweight in 12-24 weeks, the dramatic but realistic target How to make clients feel seen and heard Honesty with clients Differences between classes and Personal Training How a business works in a free market Daily activities to improve the service Keeping the gym clean and organised How to start your social media, creating an online presence Reading List :- My Best Books For Running a Business Thanks for listening.
