Four years ago, Jason Clark closed the door on a failed fitness franchise, kissing $400,000 good-bye. On that same day, his wife gave birth to their second child. Four years on and Jason’s never been happier, thanks to a smart business decision, some clever marketing, and (most-importantly) four words uttered by his exhausted wife! It’s a tell-all episode 506 of The (award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. A little bit more about Perform-360’s Jason Clark Jason Clarke has been a personal trainer for 25 years. And like many PT’s he dreamt of one day owning his own business. Well, four years ago, that dream became a nightmare, when Jason lost $400K of his parent’s money in a failed fitness franchise, whilst his wife was giving birth to their second child! Wait until you hear the advice she gave him that led to where he is now - the proud founder of a new fitness concept in Brisbane called Perform-360, that this year will turn over seven figures. This is such a great story of business determination, or as Jason puts it “an expensive MBA!” So let’s go and hear how he did it, and what role marketing played in this incredible turnaround. We start off with Jason describing the time, 4 years ago, when he lost $400K on a failed fitness franchise ... Timbo's Top 3 Attention Grabbers from Timbo’s chat with Perform-360’s Jason Clark First and foremost, I love the courage Jason showed in getting back on the horse and starting another business after dropping $400K.

100 Things founder Sebastian Terry is on a mission to tick 100 things off a list he wrote the day after his best friend died. Little did he know that that list would change everything, not the least of which was creating a global movement. It’s a ridiculously inspiring episode 505 of The (award-winning) Small Business Big Marketing podcast. A little bit more about 100 Things Sebastian Terry 100 Things founder Sebastian Terry was inspired by the death of his close mate, to ask himself one simple question … “Am I happy?” The answer was “No!”, so he created a list of 100 things that he hoped would help him find happiness. Ten years on, Sebastian could never have imagined the impact that list has had on himself and hundreds of thousands of others. But amazingly, it wasn’t until he’d ticked off 72 things that life really changed. This starter of a global movement is now the star of his own TV show, a published author, a sought-after keynote speaker, and although he’d deny it … an absolute saver of lives. I know you’re going to love this chat as we explore how 100 Things became a global movement, how he’s commercialised it, and the role marketing has played in building the brand. I started off by asking Sebastian to describe his life prior to his best friend dying ...
