What kind of business do you want to be? Now ask yourself, does that align with the kind of business that you are running? We see many gyms making the mistake of falling prey to the latest social media tactic before they even know the purpose of their message. If you’ve never sat down and figured out what problem you solve as a business and why you are unique in solving it, then your vision is muddy.  In this episode, Dr. Sean walks you through an exercise he personally uses to audit himself and the business regularly. We give you the 3 questions you need to answer in order to create a clear message and differentiate yourself from the gym down the street. If you find that you are still chasing the top of the pyramid to increase your revenue and you're tired of utilizing “next hottest trend” then we urge you to revisit your business foundation.

Are you an entrepreneur trying to balance “I love my business” with “but my family gets in the way of it”?  We know it feels uncomfortable to say it outloud however it's the truth that many small business owners feel.  This topic is a bit different than our usual content but we know that a large number of our listeners may be struggling with juggling long hours at work and finding energy at the end of the day.   In this episode, Stu Brauer (WTF Gym Talk) candidly speaks about the factors that led to his recent divorce, how he and his wife are still living amicably and the conversations that were leading up to the decision to split. We cover topics like when it’s time to seek counseling (it’s not when you think), establishing expectations with your significant other and living your truth in order to be fulfilled in life and business. If you’ve listened to Stu speak you know that he brings the realness without apology. We respect Stu so much for the transparency he brings to this show to speak on a topic that we know many may be ashamed to say out loud.  Podcast Resources: Are you ready to Turn Pro?
