In today’s conversation, Austin and I talk about the origins of FlexIt Fitness, the problem the company is out to solve, and the challenges of fitness entrepreneurship. Austin provides some very practical advice for anyone looking to branch into and build up their online coaching presence and we discuss the pros and cons of joining an established coaching company vs striking out on your own.

Action Plan

Today’s action plan stems from something that Austin reveals towards the very end of the conversation - it is one of his three daily essentials. Austin strives to end each day knowing that anything he could have done today has not been left for tomorrow. Now, I’m not saying you need to turn this podcast off and get busy immediately - seriously, stick around because this is an incredible episode - but rather I just want you to be little more diligent with creating a daily to-do list that is achievable. I want you to be a smidge more protective of your time, a bit more committed to your priorities and give yourself permission to say “no” I can’t do that today, my scheduled is already full. If it feels good today, do a little bit more tomorrow, and the day after that. By the end of this week, I think you’ll back and say “Wow”, I can’t believe how much I accomplished.

That’s it for this week. Make sure you’re subscribed to this podcast so that you don’t miss next week’s episode with Astrid Naranjo. Astrid is a clinical dietician  and nutritionist who joins us to talk about the four pillars of a wholistic health, common self-limiting mindsets that undermine fat loss goals, various ways to increasing caloric expenditure and the importance of asking yourself some very simple questions before you reach for your next snack.

Until then, we wish you STRENGTH and GOOD HEALTH.
