Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Chris Haggit, Founder of Haggit Barbell, located in Green River, WY, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a professional personal trainer who is dedicated to helping busy parents and shift workers improve their quality of life by meeting them where they are and making small and sustainable steps.
Tell us about yourself
My passion for fitness started ten years ago, and I quickly realized that working hard hours and raising my growing family made it difficult to be successful with my fitness goals. Knowing there are many people in the same situation, I set out to help. I want everyone to experience their strength and what their lives could be like when they make their health a priority.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Growing a sustainable business while raising a young family and working full time has been anything but easy, but I have made it work!
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
It is always difficult wearing so many hats and choosing the highest ROI tasks. It is important to spend time reviewing what works and doesn't work while still improving your skills.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Number one is to believe in yourself! There will always be that self-doubt, but push forward, and good things will come.
- Pay attention to the capital! It is easy to get caught up at the beginning with debt.
- Start small! Find one problem you can solve for your client and refine it. Once you have a solid system in place, look for ways to scale. It's easy to chase several avenues at once, but all that does is leave you treading water.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Stay positive, focus on the important, not only the urgent, and make sure you take time off.
