Fitness Entrepreneur – LIVETHEFUEL

269: Fitness Entrepreneur Lifestyle, PANS & PANDAS

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 03 May 2019 13:00:00 +0000

Father, Husband, Entrepreneur, Coach, and Author. Welcome, Pat Rigsby:

I guess if I were going to sum it up in 5 words, those would be the five. But I’m going to share a little more in hopes that my journey can be of a little help to you in your own.

I’m a 46-year-old guy that has built his share of successes from the ground up…and more importantly, have a beautiful wife, two incredible boys and a business that allows me to spend most of my time with them along with family and friends.

Quote:

If you do what you said you were going to do each day, then you will get what you said you were going to get.

In the past decade, I’ve built over a dozen businesses as a CEO and Co-Owner, with five becoming million dollar or multi-million dollar ventures. Two of those businesses, Athletic Revolution and Fitness Revolution, have been multiple time winners on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500 with each being the #1 franchise for its respective market. Another business, Fitness Consulting Group, was a multiple time honoree on the Inc. 5000, placing as high as #580 on the list of fastest growing businesses in the U.S. I’ve also been a Best-Selling Author 6 times over, presented in front of thousands of entrepreneurs and been featured in Entrepreneur, Men’s Health, USA Today and on hundreds of other media outlets.

“When it comes to sales, I’ve personally sold as many as 116 franchises in a single year and been the strategist and copywriter for over 10 million dollars in online sales from my own businesses and millions more in sales for my clients.”

In the fitness industry alone, my coaching & consulting clients have been featured in places like Men’s Health, USA Today, Men’s Fitness, Shape, Women’s Health, Huffington Post and on ABC, CBS, NBC and pretty much any other media outlet you can think of. They’ve built some of the most successful businesses and brands in every corner of the industry. Everything from local business and supplement companies to online businesses, certification organizations. They even became best-selling authors. In fact, many (if not most) of the experts providing business coaching in the fitness industry have been my clients, customers or franchisees.

And the best part of this? I’ve been able to do all of these things and more while working from home, coaching my kids in baseball and soccer and enjoying a type of entrepreneurial lifestyle I would have never thought possible just a few short years ago.

Top 3 Hot Points:

Entrepreneurial Teams
Lifestyle Balance
PANS & PANDAS Awareness

Final Words:

If you’re in the entrepreneurial world or even if you’re just somebody who wants to be a high achiever in your career, listen in. Professional and personal success aren’t mutually exclusive things you can have them both but you’re probably not going to have them both by accident. You need to plan and you need to make sure that you are moving towards those goals each and every day. If you do that, you can be pretty amazed about what you can accomplish.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”00:30″] Introduction
[spp-timestamp time=”10:00″] It’s great now with social media because we get such quick feedback. When I started in the business world, you were going to do more direct mail for marketing. Spending a lot of money and waiting for a pretty significant amount of time for feedback.
[spp-timestamp time=”20:00″] It allows them to stay pretty close to what they consider their wheelhouse and still do what they need to do, from a business standpoint. They have the type of business that they set out to have when they started in the first place.
[spp-timestamp time=”30:00″] It’s not only your time, but it’s your fulfillment from what you’re doing. Getting caught up having to be the guy doing all the podcast editing and all the other stuff, and then all of a sudden the podcast gets to be a lot less fun for the host. I’m just a big believer in doing the things that are not only my best financial ROI but also the best fulfillment of me spending my team too.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:00″] Alex’s PANS. Alex has kind of a milder, case. I look at the infectious triggers that are so common. It’s really scary because it’s often misdiagnosed.
[spp-timestamp time=”51:00″] This is kind of a two-fold challenge. I think a lot of autoimmune conditions kind of operate this way. But I wouldn’t profess to be an expert on any of it. We’ve got to kind of put out the fire. You have to get his immune system to calm back down. Then it just gets back to prevention. Good gut health is crucial. Just making sure that the body is operating the way it’s supposed to. It’s not just always having to deal with the ramifications of sugars or grains but also a lot of the processed stuff.

102: Stroke + Cancer Triggered Entrepreneurship to Online Virtual Fitness Trainer

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 18 Aug 2017 14:00:00 +0000

Your Online Virtual Fitness Trainer:

Your co-host has been a trainer for over a decade working with over 800 people to help transform their lives, their vitality, and their mindset to accomplish their dreams. He’s got a degree in pre-med/pre-pharm and dual-certified in exercise science and sports medicine. Jeff is also a lifestyle and wellness coach and an orthopedic rehab specialist. I love helping people physically, mentally and nutritionally to reach their goals, and now do so through virtual training. I work with people all over the world and work with other trainers on how to get started into growing their business.

How did our co-host get into Virtual Training? –

My mom has had health issues since I was born. I originally wanted to be a surgeon to help take care of her, but being color-blind made that dream impossible. She had a major stroke when I was a freshman in college and lost the use of the left side of her body. Then came breast cancer [twice], brain deterioration, a heart attack. One day she suggested to me that I should train people online that have suffered strokes and can’t get out of their home. I thought about it, we tried it with her stroke support group, and then I took that format to the online entrepreneur world. Basically, my mom’s handicap has transformed the fitness world and started a whole new REVOLUTION. Virtual Training allows people to enjoy exercise in the comfort of their own home, we save time by not having to travel and sit in traffic, we use whatever equipment you have or want to order, and there is that accountability factor that is the key ingredient to results and progress. With our knowledge of the body, having a nutritionist on staff designing meals for you that meet YOUR needs, TBC is the one stop shop for transforming your life into what you want it to be!

[spp-timestamp time=”03:10″] LA Fitness quality has gone downhill.

052: Resist Average, THRIVE, and Tommy Baker Fitness

Scott Mulvaney — Fri, 24 Feb 2017 17:00:00 +0000

Resist Average Co-Hosting Today:

Why wait? There is always going to be an excuse if you just don’t start. First give yourself permission to start, then have a clear vision, add accountability and reflection to that and you you will move quickly along your journey to that vision. Today’s Co-Host has applied this to his podcast and to his latest book which will be released late March’17. Tommy Baker of Tommy Baker Fitness.com and Resist Average Academy.com is a fellow Thrive16′ attendee and fitness buff. Using his platforms that he has built, he inspires and motivates people with fitness to act as catalyst for massive transformation in other areas of life.

On This Episode You Will Hear:

[spp-timestamp time=”01:20″] Tommy’s first true passion in life was fitness. It was his first foray into personal development. He wanted to use fitness as a tool to learn more about himself. As Tommy evolved his fitness brand and his two retail gyms, he started to broadcast the message, fitness was just the starting point and can be a catalyst for mass transformation in other areas of life. Half of his audience got the message the other half was just there for fitness, so now Tommy is separating the two apart and relaunching.
[spp-timestamp time=”04:40″] Tommy has a book coming out late March.
[spp-timestamp time=”05:49″] Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic Learning Styles (VAK). Tommy in 2015, had read through 55 books. Once he got to 35 books he was not effectively digesting and implementing what he had read. He was just in consumption mode. He has since shifted his focus to only reading 15 to 20 books a year, reading the physical book and listening to the audio book version. Tommy had chosen to not move on until he had implemented something from each book into his life or business. This is what Tommy calls 365 degree learning. Going deeper, instead of wider.
[spp-timestamp time=”10:21″] Document the moments that make you pause.
[spp-timestamp time=”14:08″] Using voice notes on Evernote as a journal.
[spp-timestamp time=”16:22″] The power of Accountability Partners.
[spp-timestamp time=”18:49″] Give yourself permission to say yes to yourself to make the commitment. Once you have done that, things just start happening and you will figure the rest of the stuff out along the way. The inspiration and the passion that you are looking for are always on the other side of action.
[spp-timestamp time=”21:20″] When Tommy started his Resist Average podcast, he went back and listened to the very first episodes of some of the current best podcasters. He came to the realization that they really were not that good. It immediately took the pressure off him, knowing where those top podcasters are now. He took a deep breath and said, “They started somewhere look at where they are now, I have just got to get started!”
[spp-timestamp time=”22:41″] We all start somewhere. The most important thing is taking action.
[spp-timestamp time=”23:34″] There are countless resources of accountability. A fan of Tommy’s, unknowingly, kept him accountable throughout the writing of the book.
[spp-timestamp time=”25:37″] Using vision boards. Vision boards are environmental triggers. It’s great to have big visions but you also have to keep in mind, what can you do today to take you a little closer to that goal.
[spp-timestamp time=”29:07″] Go to the places that you love and that inspire you. For Tommy it is being outside. The more you can sprinkle these into your week the more on fire you will feel.
[spp-timestamp time=”38:03″] Tommy got into CrossFit in 2007. It’s all about trying new things and experiences. Scott in 2010 thanks to Wildland Firefighting.
[spp-timestamp time=”40:02″] Constantly variable.
[spp-timestamp time=”43:35″] You have to find out what works, pace it and don’t be afraid to change it up.
[spp-timestamp time=”46:49″] Being objective with our goals. Having self awareness is huge but it is difficult to have it on your own. It is important to surround yourself with people that will ask great questions, hold you accountable and give you the power of perspective.
[spp-timestamp time=”49:38″] We no longer allow ourselves to be bored. At a moments lull we pull out our phones. Take moments throughout your day to just think. Reflection is as important to Tommy as action because if we are taking action but don’t take the time to reflect we could go in the wrong direction. Reflection gives us time to pivot and adjust. Tommy does daily reflection, Sunday reflection and quarterly reflection exercises to allow himself to see where he is at.
