"Even if people should listen to you they won't unless you give them a reason to."

Today, I am joined by Jonathan Goodman, creator of the Personal Trainer Development Center ($35M+ rev), fellow podcast host, and 12-time author.

His latest book, The Obvious Choice: Timeless Lessons on Success, Profit, and Finding Your Way came out yesterday and I know you'll want to grab it ASAP!

This episode is the perfect taster of what you can expect inside.

We get into:

- His "whales and minnows" philosophy

- Why waypoints are more important to celebrate than goals

- Why he wrote this book

- Some inconvenient truths about business

- Why you should always choose yourself

- How to perform a 2-week test (and why you want to)

- Tips to find your thing

- His belief in a cycle of consistency and obsession, not "1% gains"

- How you can catch yourself with a "wheels on the bus" checklist

"Today, too many of us are pessimistically overinformed. Good information is not necessarily good advice for you."

I have followed Jonathan for years and enjoy doing so because he is values-driven, brings a lot of clarity, and means what he says.

Listen to our conversation, buy the book, and go follow him if you'd like to stay in touch @itscoachgoodman (on Instagram and Twitter).
