Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in health and fitness but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Darren Dunlop, founder of Dunlop Fitness & Lifestyle Management, located in Toronto, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
My business provides in-person and online personal training and coaching for successful, busy men and women in their 40s. Helping clients put their health and fitness first. If a person wants to continue being successful in their business or careers, they have to pay themselves first. And that means fitness and health.
Tell us about yourself
When I was young, I hated myself and my body and wanted to die. But at 16 years old, my mom bought me a YMCA membership in Scarborough, and that's when my journey of self-improvement began. The demons had a battle on their hands, and through training and bodybuilding, those demons were quelled. Now, I want to help others with their own struggles.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Still being in business.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Solving problems on your own, and having limited resources.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Love what you do.
- Plan, plan, plan.
- Execute, and review.
