In the fitness industry, passion is a big word often thrown around what we do. But is passion necessary for running a fitness business? If so, what type of passion is most effective?

We often see people in our industry have passion for a particular tool, mechanism, type of training, etc., which manifests in their business. This is a big mistake because the thing with passion is that it comes and goes.

If you must have passion, then it should be to help people meet their health and fitness goals.

This way, you can look at the business from the lens of what the customer truly needs, rather than what you might be passionate about.

As a fitness entrepreneur, your business is not there to serve you. Your role is to do things that make your business successful by solving a problem in the market.
