Our guest this week is Scott Howell.
From training clients in small boutique gyms, to overseeing regional operations at one of the biggest corporate fitness brands to owning his own successful gym business, Scott has seen, and done, more than most in this industry.
In today’s conversation, Scott and I talk about the risk and rewards of working for a larger company vs. blazing your own entrepreneurial trail, we talk about whether there is any such thing as “stability” in the workplace anymore, and I get Scott’s insight into how he has created local networks and worked to bridge the gap between health and fitness at Red Dot Fitness.

Action Plan
Your action plan for the week is this - if you are thinking of branching out and starting your own business, whether that is in the fitness industry or otherwise - your task this week is to spend time finding ways to start taking steps without leaving your current “main gig”. Can you commit 10% of your weekly time to building a business, feed that part of you that is hungry for autonomy and creativity, while holding on to the safety that makes those dreams possible? And in that 10%, can you clearly identify the people in your network that can help you grow?
If you can do that, you’ll be on the right track!
