The Three Mindsets for Gym Owners' Survival | Ep 8 Little Gym, Big Heart with Devin Gage

"You have to be arrogant enough to believe that you out of all the trainers and fitness professionals out in the world are actually going to make it in this industry."
Welcome to the Little Gym, Big Heart podcast! Today Devin Gage discusses the challenging career shelf life of personal trainers and gym owners, with the former lasting less than six months on average and the latter typically closing within two years. However, he suggests a recipe for success involving three key mindsets: ignorance, arrogance, and faith. Ignorance doesn't imply a lack of knowledge, but rather the ability to overlook certain hard realities of the business, such as stiff competition, long hours, and unpredictable factors like COVID-19. Arrogance, in this context, refers to the confidence to believe in one's capacity to succeed in a challenging environment.
