Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Carl Wesley, a personal trainer based in Houston, TX, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I’m in the personal training industry, so clients would come to me if they have the desire to become the best version of themselves, mind, body, and spirit because I am known to be more than a personal trainer.

Tell us about yourself

Researching ways to cope with my physical pain, I found myself embracing the world of fitness and personal training. My pain temporarily hindered him from enjoying his social life and the outside world, so I began to use fitness as an outlet to help guide me in improving my health. Over time, My love for the gym and fitness grew, leading me to consider personal training. My entrepreneurial mindset kicked in & he realized the business potential. What motivates me each day is the positive feedback that I receive from my clients that, in their words, life changing!

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

The best is yet to come…

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Keeping people motivated in a community where many people struggle with depression and own their pessimistic mindset.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Love what you do and don’t do it for money because if you’re not driven by the love of what you do, you will easily discover reasons to quit.
  2. Learn and try to master social media because, without a social media presence, it will be hard to grow your business.
  3. Find your niche and always find ways to edge out the competitors with what you do. Sometimes great customer service is all you need to get returning clientele/customers.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

I just want to encourage people never to stop learning and striving to become the best version of themselves in all areas of life!
