“The fitness industry is big right now; it’s thriving.”

It’s true. People are more self and health-conscious than ever before.

In this episode of the Fire In The Belly Podcast, Pete sits with Phil Graham, Personal Coach and Bestselling author, to talk everything about personal fitness. Entrepreneurs in the said niche, will learn a lot from Phil as he shares how he built and grew his own personal fitness business. His own 10 Commandments can help you grow your wealth, impact, and freedom, just like they helped his clients.

Phil also goes back to the beginning and shares his battle with Diabetes. He wants to enlighten many people about maintaining a healthy mind, body, and soul, that is why he became a fitness entrepreneur. Tune in to find out more.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Phil was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was 16. And to make it worse, he was advised it was serious and life-threatening. This prompted him to change his lifestyle, plan a healthier diet, and exercise more. He was eager to improve his life expectancy so he can enjoy more of everything.
• Phil was inspired to help other people suffering from diabetes and other chronic illnesses too. So he studied about biochemistry and nutrition, trained for bodybuilding, and wrote informational books. In the end, he was able to build his credibility and become the go-to fitness trainer.
• Personal fitness business is no different from the usual businesses. Phil advises to always reinvent your ways and to solve any issues early on. From his observations, some fitness entrepreneurs get comfortable when they see that they’re achieving results. Always aim to do more so you can help more people.
• It all starts within yourself. We can never master the art of living, but we can savour every bit life offers by living with our own standards in mind and knowing about our own limitations.
• How do you convince your team to bring as much value into your business?
  • Be very clear on your mission and visions.
  • Show those ‘on-stage’ and backstage.
  • Get results.
• Phil emphasises the importance of personal development too. It’s essential to look back and evaluate what happened in the past as there may be lessons to be learnt. Be grateful for your successes as well as your failures.

BEST MOMENTS

• “Fire in the belly for me means waking up in the morning super excited to face the challenges for the day… It’s not all about the wins but the chaos that comes with it and being able to leverage the best way you can.”
• “Nutrition, exercise, mindset, medication and lifestyle…Those were the areas in my life that I locked into.”
• “Having a rough idea is a better way to look at it, and thinking more acutely like in months, in quarters, or in weeks, then build it up to that.”
• “I want to be a better human being and love myself more and more each day.”
• “The biggest and important thing for me is how can I serve humanity, how can I love myself, how can I be on a real mission to help and contribute as much as I can.”
