Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in fitness and health but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jay Quarmby, Founder of Personal Revolution - Fitness & Lifestyle Coaching, located in Toronto, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I own a business called Personal Revolution - Fitness & Lifestyle Coaching. I provide fitness and lifestyle coaching to overworked executives who have neglected their health and wellness to prioritize their careers. I specialize in bespoke men's wellness events designed to reset and rejuvenate the body, mind, and spirit.
Tell us about yourself
I started working out in a gym when I was 17, and it wasn't long before I discovered all the benefits that physical activity and self-care can give someone. I'm motivated every day to continue doing what I do because I can see the direct improvement in my clients' lives that is generated from the work I do with them. It's very rewarding to be able to make someone else's life better and to be part of their journey of self-improvement.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is the impact I've made in my community. Having the freedom as a business owner to create fundraising events or serve in whichever way I want allows me to be even more impactful.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The balance between hiring people you need in order to grow your business and generating enough income to be able to hire those people in the first place.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- You can't do it all yourself. Hire people for tasks that you don't specialize in.
- Always be looking for ways you can partner with other businesses to help each other grow.
- Never start a business just because you think you can make good money. Make sure you're doing something you're passionate about. Your customers can tell if you're just in it for the money.
