New business ideas are great. Whether it comes to you in the form of a flash of inspiration or a yearlong hunt to nail down the new big thing, the fact is that the awesomeness of your big idea may be irrelevant. Your new business idea may not be right for you, or you may not be right for it.
Let’s be honest – this shit is hard. It’s a pain in the ass to get up every morning to work on your new business idea with the nagging worry that it might just be a massive waste of time. But those times when you get it right? Oh man, those are good times.
This week’s guest is Jeff Sherman. He’s one of those guys that got it right multiple times. Jeff is the COO at Train Aggressive, runs the blog Fitness Marketer, he’s been in the fitness industry as a personal trainer, strength and conditioning specialist, and a serial fitness entrepreneur for nearly two decades. Jeff knows a thing or two about building successful businesses which is why if you’re considering starting a business in the fitness industry, you should listen to this podcast.
