Why You Should Quit Coaching

The odds are against you making a career as a fitness coach.

Most fitness coaches burn out and leave the industry in less than a year. 

And 1 in 5 small businesses fail in 12 months, with 65% closing their doors during the first 10 years.

You might as well call it quits and move on. Become a realtor or get into solar panel sales. 

Or if you’re thinking about becoming a coach, think again. Take the easy, predictable option: a 9-5 desk job.

Forget that you’re passionate about fitness and move on. Get a real job.

We’re guessing that if you’re trying to make it in the fitness industry, you’ve heard this narrative before.

Maybe the self-doubt has crept into your thoughts, or it might be well-intentioned but unhelpful advice coming from a family member.

The truth is that making it as a coach (and building a career that will set you up for decades) is challenging.

But good things come to those who work for them.

You wouldn’t tell your clients to quit trying to lose weight because 90% of diets fail, would you?

Nope. Instead, you’d give them a smarter, more sustainable way to chip away at their goals.

Apply the same approach to your career goals. It’s not going to happen overnight, but with the right principles you can make it happen.
