Did you know Richard started out as a personal trainer at the age of 17? At the time being a Personal Trainer was very new, so the goal was to educate people about what a PT was. Now everyone knows what a PT is, so as a PT you just need to understand how you can talk to potential clients to get them to join your tribe.

In today’s QWWC episode Richard is in SNAP fitness in the Christchurch CBD, creating a lot of content for gyms and having conversations with fitness professionals. He noticed a lot of fitness professionals keep saying that the industry is not as good as it used to be, it’s more competitive and it’s different. Yes, things have changed and the game has shifted. It doesn’t matter what industry you are in, as long as the position you are in at the moment is a successful position for you and you’re going in the right direction.

When Richard was 17 he bought a fitness studio for $50 000 and he had no idea what he was doing!  It took him an hour to get to work at 3 AM and an hour to get home at 10 PM. One thing that he had on his side was the willingness to do work! He didn’t know how to run a business, nor any experience in being a leader or managing a team. But his willingness to do the work, to overcome these challenges is what got him where he is today!

So next time you’re saying the industry is too busy, too competitive and it’s too hard, well you need to have a better work ethic. That means:

  • More learning
