5 Pillars of Success in Fitness & Finance (That Aren’t As Sexy As You Think!)
#262: Success isn't all about flashy moves and quick fixes—it's about consistency, discipline, and a little bit of room to breathe when things go off track. In this episode, Billy breaks down 5 simple but powerful pillars that apply to both fitness and finance. Success is boring: Staying consistent with the basics is the key. No need for shortcuts—get comfortable with repetition. You don’t have to be perfect: Don’t let perfectionism hold you back. You can make mistakes, get a lot of things wrong, and still end up in a great place! You have to stay educated: Never stop learning. Books, podcasts, courses, coaching—invest in your growth. Discipline: This one is all about doing it when you don’t feel like it. Live within your means, stay on track, and stick to your plan. Have some reserves: Whether it's financial buffers or having a backup in your fitness routine, having that cushion can save you when life throws curveballs. You don’t have to be perfect, and I’m proof of that! I made plenty of mistakes in my journey, but the key was staying consistent and building from there.

4 Steps to More Profit: An Interview with Hailey Rowe
#260: I talk a fair amount about managing cash flow as a Profit Coach. I truly believe it’s the missing piece for many fitness entrepreneurs.

I’m excited to share an interview I did with Hailey is a marketing and sales coach for Health Pros. There are a few things that stood out about our conversation. The Power of Tracking - Hailey tracks a lot. While you don’t need to track as much as her, what would it look like for you to level up your tracking? Remember, what gets measured improves. Putting the audience first. Hailey has a pretty big following for a niche market but she’s way more concerned with giving her audience content that they want. She explains some simple ways to do that. She shares the 4 steps to take someone from an awareness of who you are to a happy, paying client. 👉 Listen to the episode now! You’ll be better for it.

Your Year in One Word
#249: As we near the end of 2024, it’s the perfect time to reflect on the journey we’ve taken. In this bite-sized episode, I challenge you to summarize your entire year in just one word. Why one word? Because it cuts through the noise and highlights what truly mattered to you—whether that’s growth, change, resilience, or, in my case, “Plan.” I’ll share the thinking behind my chosen word, “Plan,” and guide you through a simple exercise to find your own. By identifying a single word that encapsulates your year, you’ll gain clarity and set a meaningful intention for the year ahead. Key Takeaways: Discover why honing in on one word can provide powerful clarity. Hear why “Plan” was my word of 2024 and the impact it had on my approach to business and life. Get prompts and ideas to help you find your own word and use it as a compass for the future. Action Step: After listening, choose your one word for the year. Ask yourself what major theme defined 2024 for you. Then, consider how that word can influence your decisions and direction as we head into 2025. Connect with Us:
