E11: Changing Your Life For The Better - with Seamus Fox
Seamus Fox’s business journey began during his days as a personal trainer. Since then he’s gone on to become one of the country’s most respected business consultants, regularly being called in to guide gym owners and other personal trainers in every aspect of this specialist industry.
Seamus’ success has all been self-motivated. It’s a tale that began during a dark period in his life, and which has brought him to the top through a combination of hard work and self-empowerment. By finding his “why”, Seamus has driven himself ever forward, using the fire in his belly as rocket-fuel to take him higher.
Hear how he did it in this week’s inspiring episode of Fire In The Belly.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Nothing is plain sailing all the time. there are always hiccups and obstacles in the road. By finding your “why”, and keeping the fires inside you stoked, you can re-focus during these darker times.
- Seamus hit rock bottom in 2003, and found himself unhappy and unfulfilled with his life. The desire to implement change came internally, and has driven him ever since.
- Through early job experience, Seamus always felt that something was missing. He eventually identified this missing element as creativity, or rather the lack of it in the jobs he was doing. At time he felt like a robot. This gave him the desire to find something he could apply himself to in a creative way.
- Seamus’ newfound craving for personal development extended not to just mental progress, but physical. By focussing on his health, Seamus finally discovered the place in life that he’d been searching for.
- During his most rapid business growth period, Seamus began to notice that he was becoming farmore aware of his thought process, and how his mind-set was affecting outcomes in his career.
- A planned move to create franchises of his extremely popular Fighting Fit business did not pan out. This coupled with a personal calamity, almost drove Seamus into despair. But having experienced success, he determined to build himself up again using the same mental strength that he’d used to found his brand.
- Fighting Fit was rebranded, and revolutionised completely, focussing instead on highly personalised physical development instead of class-sized sessions. The tactic worked, and Fighting Fit saw a new burst of success that continues to this day.
- A coach is a vital part of being in business. It makes you accountable to someone, and also gives you someone to turn to when the going gets tough.
- You can create any kind of life for yourself, and pull yourself back from the brink of failure. All you need is the drive to keep going, and the will to succeed.
BEST MOMENTS
- ‘For me it’s about motivation. It’s about my “why”'
- ‘Change happens through inspiration or desperation'
- ‘I’ve always had a drive to improve myself’
- ‘At the time I thought it was their fault. Looking back, I can see it was mine’
- ‘It’s grown into something much bigger’
- ‘If you’re at a point where you’re happy and content with life, then brilliant!'
