Driven Nutrition: Consistency Brings Success in a Tough Market

There's a lot of competition in the fitness business.

Gone are the days where being a great coach and offering a great product are enough to get you clients—that's the bare minimum. Every successful gym has great coaches and great products, so what makes you different?

Jason Rule, founder of Driven Nutrition, is faced with the same question daily. The supplement industry is vast and competitive, with celebrity endorsements and secretive formulas and business plans that rely on deceit. But with 1,600 gyms on his client roster, Jason's figured out a thing or two.

Here, Certified Two-Brain Mentor Jay Williams interviews Jason on the tricks of the trade. You'll learn how he gets new clients, why he prioritizes relationships over volume and his processes for continuing to improve his business and build brand loyalty.
