Righting the Wrongs: Second Chances in Business


Listen Later

Some people want to have everything planned out before starting, while others believe you don't need to have everything figured out. You just have to be passionate and be willing to learn and adjust as you go. So which one are you? 

Today on Unleashing Greatness, Bob interviews Andrew Fitzpatrick, part of the Legion Franchise Team and Legion West Chester gym co-owner. Andrew was part of the early days of Legion until he took a hiatus, then came back. They talk about their lessons, from running a gym to training franchise owners. What they discuss applies not only to gym businesses but also to most service-based businesses. 

Get some inspiration from today's conversation between Bob and Andrew as they talk through righting the wrongs.
