Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Micah Cook, Personal Trainer & Life Coach of My Temple Fitness, located in Austin, TX, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I am a fitness boot camp instructor/ life coach. I am passionate about changing lives from the inside out. I have an array of customers from their 30s to 50s that have had many struggles in life or childhood traumas.
Tell us about yourself
I took a huge leap of faith during the middle of a pandemic and started my business because I knew I was meant for something more! I am extremely passionate about helping people, so getting up every day and being able to uplift, inspire, change, and impact as many lives as possible only drives me and gives me more motivation to continue to do what I get to do daily!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I would say making it to two years in business during the middle of a crazy fear-controlled pandemic when a lot of things got shut down.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The seasons and clients. I am all word of mouth, and I just get referrals and go off of that, and also stay into my faith-based that I am fulfilling my divine purpose, and the fear of not being able to do that because of a lack of clients can be scary sometimes. However, I know that I am fulfilling my purpose, so no matter if I have a slow month which I did this past Feb, I will still thrive and be ok. God will send me the right people that need guidance and direction.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Have strong faith, and a very strong mindset, so you know that there will be struggles and trials, you will get through them no matter what, and a belief that you can make it happen. Regardless of what anyone thinks or feels.
