Pay Yourselves with Health and Fitness

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Darren Dunlop, founder of Dunlop Fitness & Lifestyle Management, located in Toronto, ON, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

My business provides in-person and online personal training and coaching for successful, busy men and women in their 40s. Helping clients put their health and fitness first. If a person wants to continue being successful in their business or careers, they have to pay themselves first. And that means fitness and health.

Tell us about yourself

When I was young, I hated myself and my body and wanted to die. But at 16 years old, my mom bought me a YMCA membership in Scarborough, and that's when my journey of self-improvement began. The demons had a battle on their hands, and through training and bodybuilding, those demons were quelled. Now, I want to help others with their own struggles.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Still being in business.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Solving problems on your own, and having limited resources.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Love what you do.
Plan, plan, plan.
Execute, and review.
