“The fitness business isn’t about individual silos, it’s about community. We all win when we work together.” – Jonathan Goodman

You’re in the Marketing Business

You’re not a volunteer. You’re a professional. Professionals get paid for their work. And if you want to make a living in the fitness business, you have to acknowledge you’re also in the marketing business, whether you like it or not.

Leave the Scarcity Mindset Behind

There’s more than enough for everyone. If you don’t want to share what you know with others and believe that your survival depends on protecting your turf, you’re working against your own best interests.

Build Valuable Partnerships

The fitness business isn’t about individual silos. It’s about community. One of the most important things a business can do is build partnerships with complementary companies. We all win when we share knowledge and methods across disciplines.
