Whilst in Melbourne recently I went out of my way to record as much content as possible for the show. This week I sat down with Travis Jones who is a fitness entrepreneur. Personally I’m not a massive fan of the word entrepreneur because everyone calls themselves one these days. Gary Vee has made it popular to be an entrepreneur. Just search entrepreneur into your podcast topic search and see how many shows are aimed at that area. BUT – Travis is a true entrepreneur. He founds and runs RBT – Results Based Training – that’s his core business but he also runs a digital marketing company and in fact that’s how I first stumbled across him. A few years back when I was still in Toowoomba and owned my gym I saw Travis pop up everywhere teaching people how to market their fitness businesses. I actually thought about taking him on as my coach but then my business sold so I never did take that step. Recently he popped up on my Instagram and I thought ‘he’d be a great bloke to have on the show’ so I did what I do and reached out. We had a great chat and talked about everything from sleeping in his first gym for 18 months because he couldn’t afford rent as well as the rent of his business premises through to being stood over by bikies for protection money. This bloke has had all sorts of challenges pop up but he truly has a bulletproof self-belief, confidence and an amazing ability to do the work.
