And this week, she and Greg talk about what it takes to be a fitness business leader and how to understand and develop your career to have a positive and lasting impact on the industry.Want to know more about Lindsay?Website: http://www.bodyprojectfitness.com/For more about host Greg McCoy:Website: https://gregmccoy.nethttps://hiddengym.net/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TrainerGregM...Instargram:https://www.instagram.com/greg.w.mccoy/

Be a Better Fitness Business Leader ft. Lindsay Vastola | Real McCoy Radio ep. 8

Personal training is a career where you can easily feel like you're in a rut. A client rut, an organization rut or more commonly a revenue rut. No one wants to stick with a career they feel they've capped out in.That's specifically what Matthew Park built his trainer coaching business around. Starting from humble beginnings in a small town in Alberta, Canada, Matthew began pursuing a career in personal training. After moving to California to grow his career, he quickly realized that with a methodical and strategic approach, he could transform what was originally a hand-to-mouth career in fitness into earning tens of thousands of dollars a month. Later, he would systemize this and create a coaching plan called Trainer Revenue Multiplier.On Real McCoy Radio, Park and host Greg McCoy talk about what the common struggles are for personal trainers holding them back to having a healthy and long-lasting career. They talk organization, expectations, careful planning and mindset. Oh, and a little bit of Texas vs. Canada comes into the conversation.To learn more about Matthew Park:Website: https://www.mathewpark.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=573581968Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/mindset_matt/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/matparkmuscle/For more about host Greg McCoy:Website: https://gregmccoy.nethttps://hiddengym.net/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/TrainerGregM...Instargram:https://www.instagram.com/greg.w.mccoy/
