Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jason Christoff, Founder of Physical Limits Fitness Club, located in Cornwall, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Our Freedom From Self Sabotage Coaching School teaches health professionals, coaches, and mentors how to help their clients or patients overcome all forms of self-sabotage. Our customers are anyone who wants a better life and who wants to remove self-destructive, self-abusive, illogical, and irrational behaviors from their lives.
Tell us about yourself
My foundational belief is that I can't be happy, healthy, strong, or independent unless others are as well. I want to see others succeed in life, and I know our overcoming self-sabotage information is essential, regardless of what goals a person has. It doesn't matter if you want to be the best athlete or the best parent; you will need to understand where your behaviors, ideas, and beliefs come from.......especially if they're not serving your greater good.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is the constant success I see my students and their clients experience when they apply this simple information.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The hardest thing about being a successful business owner is living a beautiful life while having a passion for helping others live a beautiful life as well. You have to learn to refill and recharge yourself because you can't give from an empty well, and you can't pour from an empty cup. You must take time for yourself even though you love healing, helping, and motivating others.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
The top three tips for people looking to run and grow a business are:
- Surround yourself with a capable team, don't just plug a hole in your employment structure with anyone; you are only as good as your team.
- Cherish your customer and build satisfaction one client interaction at a time.
- Underpromise and overdeliver.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Pay very close attention to what makes you upset in a day. If it makes you upset, it makes millions of others upset as well. Focus on that pain, solve that pain, and that's where lots of good business ideas can come from. Also, focus on what you think is your weakness. For example, I was business mentoring, and I asked the young man I was working with, "what don't you like about yourself? What do you consider your weakness? What do you try to hide from the world?" He replied, "I don't like the size of my legs," and I said, "good, you will start a website and social media channel called "Chicken Leg Strong" where you will highlight everything a person needs to do to build their legs, psychologically adapt to that situation, and you will highlight your own journey using the same coaching you sell to others." Find what you don't like about yourself, overcome it and then monetize your journey out of what you don't like."
