.KEY TAKEAWAYS

  1. Steve McGrath transitioned from being a physics teacher to building a successful online personal training and business coaching business.
  2. Scaling the online training business was easier than in-person training, as it allowed him to focus more on lifestyle and nutrition rather than just the workouts.
  3. Expanding into business coaching for personal trainers proved to be a major growth driver for the business, with the coaching program generating £100k in the first month.
  4. Steve emphasizes the importance of understanding investments and not relying solely on others, as he had some challenges with property investments in the past.


BEST MOMENTS

  1. "As soon as I did that first 8k, I was like, I'd never, ever fucking want to be poor again."
  2. "People was a big one for me. So, like, in our kind of business, you can go anywhere from like 10k a month to 20k a month, as like, on your own without it causing you too many difficulties, and then the difference from, like, 20 km almost, or 100k month, or 200k months, literally just getting other people to do the jobs that you're doing and stop doing it, that was, that was the hardest bit for me."
  3. "I think putting in the work and and finding the right thing for the right person, I think, I think a deal becomes easy if you've got the right answer to someone's problem."
