Have you ever felt like you were great at your craft—but struggling to build a real business around it? You're not alone. In this episode of The Profit Answer Man, we talk to someone who lived that exact journey and came out stronger for it. Meet Derek Newcomer—a former fitness entrepreneur who learned the hard way that being a great coach isn't enough. Today, he's a certified EOS Implementer guiding business owners to gain control, clarity, and consistent results using the Entrepreneurial Operating System.
If you're a business owner feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unable to delegate without chaos, this episode is your wake-up call. Derek's story is proof that you can align your vision, structure your team, and scale without losing your mind—or your money.
In This Episode, You Will Learn:
- Why being great at your craft doesn't mean you're great at running a business.
- The hard lessons Derek learned about delegation, leadership, and control.
- How EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) became the framework that changed everything.
- The step-by-step process he uses to help teams execute on vision without burning out.
- Why "letting go of the vine" is one of the hardest—and most profitable—moves you’ll ever make.
Key Takeaways:
- Don’t Confuse Skill with Strategy: Derek was a top-tier fitness coach, but success in business required a whole new skill set—systems, delegation, and financial discipline.
- Delegation Requires Process, Not Just Trust: One of Derek’s biggest mistakes was failing to train his team with structured systems. He learned the power of documenting what works and holding others accountable to results.
- Vision Without Execution Is a Fantasy: EOS helped him—and now his clients—translate big goals into daily actions that actually move the needle.
- Pain Leads to Clarity: Derek’s business struggles became the training ground for the financial and operational clarity he now brings to his clients.
- Entrepreneurs Need Coaches Too: EOS Implementers act as that strategic, outside perspective to keep business owners out of the weeds and focused on growth.
