Built To Grow Fitness Business

Your Clients Don't Want To See You Succeed


Listen Later

Have you ever felt like your success makes your clients uncomfortable? It’s frustrating but all too common – the bigger you grow, the more pushback you might get, even from those you thought would cheer you on.

In this episode, Tim and Randy explore why some clients (and even peers) react negatively to a business owner’s progress. They break down how scarcity mindsets, insecurities, and self-reflection fuel this behavior. Tim even shares a personal story about losing long-time clients when his gym expanded – not because of poor service, but because of his growth.

But success doesn’t have to come at the cost of relationships.

Tune in to this episode as Tim and Randy talk about how to handle these situations with grace, stay focused on your goals, and surround yourself with people who genuinely want to see you succeed. Join us to learn how to stay unapologetically focused on your journey to success.
