Episode notes
Pat Rigsby is a fitness business coach who has been in the industry since 1994.
Growing up in Portsmouth, Ohio, Pat never had an interest in entrepreneurship and wanted to be a Major League Baseball player.
And even though he had a season in professional baseball, he eventually realized playing the sport wasn’t his calling and set his sights on coaching.
Since starting that first fitness business, Pat has owned, or co-owned, over 32 businesses in the industry, from health clubs to local training facilities and franchises.
And now he runs the Ideal Business Academy, where he helps fitness pros create their own, unique ideal business.
In this episode, Pat and I talk about the evolution of HIS ideal business, the importance of meeting clients and customers where they’re at, and how he’s using accountability coaching to see even more success.
People want what they want, and they’re not going to be apologetic about it – so we need to meet them where they are. – Pat Rigsby
